Hey ogra, i tried with a different user but same problem persists

102

Full log :-

The problem seems to be related with runpy.py

104

well, the problem is with THONNY_USER_DIR … which seems to properly point to SNAP_USER_DATA (or even HOME which normally defaults to SNAP_USER_DATA in snaps) for me on all test machines, but interestingly not for you …

you could try to add an environment: block to your apps: section to force THONNY_USER_DIR to point to SNAP_USER_DATA by default, that should even solve it for you.

also, what does:

$ env | grep THONNY

return on your system ?

105

hey ogra after intense research i came to the temporary solution, with this the app runs --> /snap/thonny-ide/current/bin/thonny, this needs to be fixed

106

env | grep THONNY Returns nothing, the command exits

107

can you explain in detail how to add the environment part for core22, i will also check this out

108

this is not a solution, it is even sheer luck that it starts at all, you circumvent confinement and all setup scripts of the snap and run it natively … which will now have again polluted your system in ~/.cache i guess …

109

you simply add it to your apps: entry just like the plugs and command:

it takes a list of keys and values…

111

Understood with this --> Declaratively defining environment variables

113

Hey there yes after successfully adding it the app runs but its interpreter wont run i mean py programs wont run due to --:

OSError: [Errno 30] Read-only file system: ‘SNAP_USER_DATA’

114

I think some extra work is needed to allow it run files also the cursor it uses isnt of system i mean we should also add a gtk-common-themes plug ??

115

it is a variable … you want a leading dollar sign there to have it expanded to a path …

117

ok changing it, in the yaml

119

The app is working fine but wont open from menu, i think its due to snap being thonny-ide but desktop file being thonny, changed it building again

(FIXED SUCCESSFULLY)

Any idea building the snap with gnome-3.38 ext gives the following error :

- duplicate entries in 'plugs' not permitted in 'apps.thonny-ide' configuration

But nothing is duplicate in plugs also in extensions it wont allow me to use [gnome-38], it will only work if i use [gnome], i want to use gnome-extension to let my snap use xdg-portals to work in a much better way
