I'm not able to expose a script from within a snap












1















So I'm trying to learn how to create a snap package, and are using a simple python script as a base (https://gitlab.xirion.net/vroest/dice-roller/tree/master).

I have gotten snapcraft to work properly, and have installed the snap package but I'm not able to get the script to run from my terminal.



snap install --devmode --dangerous cli-diceroller_1.9_amd64.snap


I have followed the guide here: https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/create-your-first-snap#3

Here is the yaml-file:



name: cli-diceroller
base: core18
version: '1.9'
summary: A python dice rolling application using standard dice notation
description: |
Syntax is: roll <dice_code>
Example: roll 2d8 + 6 + d8
Instead of a dice code you can also put "stats" or "dir" for a stats roll or direction roll respectively.

grade: devel
confinement: devmode

apps:
roll:
command: bin/roll

parts:
diceroller:
plugin: python
python-version: python3
source: https://gitlab.xirion.net/vroest/dice-roller.git


when i run this command, the script works as normal



/snap/cli-diceroller/x1/bin/roll


what am I missing?

          When the app name (roll in this case) is different from the snap name (cli-diceroller) the binary is installed as <snap-name>.<app-name> to prevent namespace clashes:



          $ cli-diceroller.roll
          Syntax is: roll <dice_code>
          Example: roll 2d8 + 6 + d8
          Instead of a dice code you can also put "stats" or "dir" for a stats roll or direction roll respectively


          If you rename your part to cli-diceroller, the executable will be available under that name. (This is documented on the snapcraft.yaml reference.)
