Same problem with “~/Документы/my_project_snap” path.
Change path to english names only and it’s working.

PS: macOS and Windows have default directories with english names (Downloads, Musics, Documents) for any localizations.

Please provide utf-8 support in spancraft/micropass
It is strange what it can’t work when you launched it in profile directory like /home/alex/Проекты.

This error occurs even when there is a “space” char in the full-path of the project. It seems to me that is a bug in the snapcraft app.

I’ve changed the project to a directory without special characters and spaces, and it worked.
