Core dumped when running checkbox-snappy on Fedora

snapd
1

Hi,
Sorry, I am the beginner of the checkbox and snap.
I would like to try checkbox-snappy testing tool on Fedora 31 through snap, but I got core dump as follows. Would it be possible to execute the checkbox testing tool on Fedora distro?

[fedora@localhost bin]$ pwd
/snap/checkbox-snappy/current/bin
[fedora@localhost bin]$ checkbox-snappy.test-runner
WARNING: cgroup v2 is not fully supported yet, proceeding with partial confinement
Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: Unable to get the locale encoding
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘encodings’

Current thread 0x00007fe4b2e5a740 (most recent call first):

this is definitely the wrong binary you are executing (a snap binary that requires the snap environment to run can not be executed directly)… there should be checkbox commands in /snap/bin or /var/lib/snapd/snap
(on fedora it is helpful to “sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap” if you have not done this yet)

Note that the file checkbox-snappy.test-runner doesn’t exist in the checkbox-snappy $SNAP/bin directory, so in this case the app is still being run through snap run. This is also evidenced by:

WARNING: cgroup v2 is not fully supported yet, proceeding with partial confinement

which is output by snap-confine.

@cchen50 to your actual issue, you could try contacting the author of the snap at :

$ snap info checkbox-snappy | grep contact:

or possibly @cwayne knows what the issue might be or who can help you with this error.

What is the output of snap version ?

I have done the command “sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap”, the result doesn’t changed.

$ snap info checkbox-snappy | grep contact
contact:   ce-certification-qa@lists.canonical.com

I guess I should report the issue to launchpad.net/checkbox-project

I got output of snap version as follows:

$ snap version 
snap    2.42.2-1.fc31
snapd   2.42.2-1.fc31
series  16
fedora  31
kernel  5.3.15-300.fc31.x86_64

Thank you.
