After successfully building a snap in snapcraft dot io the result is “Won’t Release“ see screenshot below:

I also checked in dashboard.snapcraft.io but nothing shows up there.

When you say nothing shows up there, does that mean these fields?

What does your release tab in http://snapcraft.io/<snap-name>/releases show? There is normally a :warning: icon there that you can «hover» with a tooltip.

release page shows this (revision 55 and 56 are from old builds): The current build do not even show up here

Revisions available for release (we can see 55 and 56 the already released revisions):

This is the build page with recent build:

I mean nothing meaningful, like manual review required etc. The built revision is also not visible there.

Same problem here.
When build locally and uploaded, it is published
When build remotely through Github it just say “Won’t release” ; no verification, nothing

I tried to follow this old resolution but still does not work:

Thanks

Edit: line break format

Hi there, any update on this? I tried to build again today and it still fails with same error. Other snaps i own build and releases correctly.

I’m getting the same problem. We are looking to automate our build process and I’m waiting for this issue to be resolved before proceeding.

Hi,

If the revisions are not in the releases tab, they were never uploaded to the store, please check the build logs as the upload might have failed.

Regards

No, there is nothing relevant in the build logs. There is no indication of anything that tells why the built snap was not released. Also checked on dashboard.snapcraft.io as mentioned above.

I am not able to publish any update to my application since this issue appeared out of nowhere.

I do not know the details of how the building works, but have you tried re-connecting the github repository and retry the build after that?

11

Tried it already few times. Nothing seems to work.

Started facing same issue with other apps currently : TypingMaster and ArrowEscape are building, but once the build finishes, the status become “Won’t Release” with no explanation.

13

The same issue here for https://snapcraft.io/video-monitor… :unamused_face:

14

Have you tried building it locally, then release it through the snapcraft cmd, to check what the release errors are?

15

With local build and upload everything works, i am able to release.

I think you need to reach out to the team through Launchpad, by filing an issue.
