There have been a few changes to snapcraft remote-build since the last stable release. See the release notes for 8.1.0, 8.2.0, and 8.2.1 for details.
For CI jobs that inject credentials, note that the location of launchpad credentials has changed to ~/.local/share/snapcraft/launchpad-credentials.
The previous remote-build behavior is still available with SNAPCRAFT_REMOTE_BUILD_STRATEGY="force-fallback". See the docs for details.
Update: We have a regression with advanced grammar for core24 snaps. The error looks something like:
2024-04-29 07:28:16.122 Processing grammar for build-packages: ['build-essential', {'on amd64': ['gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu']}, {'on arm64': ['gcc']}]
2024-04-29 07:28:16.123 Bad snapcraft.yaml content:
- string type expected (in field 'parts.my-part.build-packages[1]')
- string type expected (in field 'parts.my-part.build-packages[2]')
Details on the bug can be found here: Regression: Advanced grammar cannot be combined with other data · Issue #4764 · canonical/snapcraft · GitHub
We’re planning to release an 8.2.2 hotfix on 2024-04-30T05:00:00Z to fix this.
