lol … so i think i know what the issue is … can you create a snap/ dir in your source tree and mv the hooks dir into it ? snapcraft will simply not consider a toplevel hooks/ dir as belonging to the snap …

lol the hooks seems to be running now …

throws the following error while installing the snap tho :

error: cannot perform the following tasks:

  • Run install hook of “xwiki” snap if present (run hook “install”:
  • TARGET=/var/snap/xwiki/x1/xwiki-platform-distribution-jetty-hsqldb-13.10.8
  • [ -d /var/snap/xwiki/x1/xwiki-platform-distribution-jetty-hsqldb-13.10.8 ]
  • mkdir -p /var/snap/xwiki/x1/xwiki-platform-distribution-jetty-hsqldb-13.10.8
  • [ ! -e /var/snap/xwiki/x1/xwiki-platform-distribution-jetty-hsqldb-13.10.8/stop_xwiki.sh ]
  • cp /snap/xwiki/x1/xwiki-platform-distribution-jetty-hsqldb-13.10.8/stop_xwiki.sh /var/snap/xwiki/x1/xwiki-platform-distribution-jetty-hsqldb-13.10.8/
  • exit 1 -----)

dont know what it means

the exit 1 prevents the hook from finishing, that prevents the whole snap from installing …

now that we know what was wrong you can remove the set -x and exit 1 lines again and it should work as expected …

another thing i noticed …

you are using the dump plugin which will simply unpack the zip archive but not run any binaries from it

…so you do not really need build-packages: at all.

if you drop that block completely from your snapcraft.yaml your build will be 10x faster …
