Cleanbuild fails differently locally than on snapcraft.io

I’m trying to automate my snap but the cleanbuild fails on snapcraft.io. https://build.snapcraft.io/user/dmp1ce

I try to reproduce locally on my Vagrant setup but it fails in a different way. Do I need to initialize lxd in a certain way to get the same results as on snapcraft.io?

Mind posting the build log or the error message?

On snapcraft.io I think it is the errors with a proxy that many others are getting. Locally I am getting the following errors.

$ snapcraft cleanbuild --debug

Having the same issue.

Here is more information on my issue:
Just looking for some help and/or perhaps confirmation of an issue:
snapcraft version: snapcraft, version 2.43
This is what I have done:

sudo snap install lxd
sudo lxd init
sudo snap install snapcraft --classic
sudo usermod -aG lxd ${USER}
newgrp lxd
snapcraft cleanbuild

This results on a permission issue. The trace for this is as follows:

        self._fp = _builtin_open(filename, mode)
    PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'flameshot_source.tar.bz2'

If I run the command with sudo the build will succeed. If I uninstall the snap version of lxd and install the deb, I also get a permission issue. The issue with the deb version of lxd is identical to the one mentioned by the op.

The latest candidate doesn’t seem to make the situation better. In fact, it breaks cleanbuilds completely because even the sudo workaround becomes a no go.

Try remove this file and retry, make sure every file under the source tree owns by you:

cd src-tree
sudo chown --recursive --changes $USER:$USER .

  LXD is a container manager for system containers.

  It offers a REST API to remotely manage containers over the network, using an image based workflow
  and with support for live migration.

  Images are available for all Ubuntu releases and architectures as well as for a wide number of
  other Linux distributions.

  LXD containers are lightweight, secure by default and a great alternative to virtual machines.

This is a known problem with a recent snapd version. It is installing snaps with read permission only provided for root, so your user account cannot access the snapcraft image to copy it into the lxd container. The solution is to execute a chmod command to make it readable:

sudo chmod +r /var/lib/snapd/snaps/snapcraft_*.snap
