Data and config file questions

[computingbirder]

After 8 months of trying to snap my game, I finally was able to install and run it. Yay!
But there still are just a few little problems that need to be fixed.

The biggest one is that unless I run $ gladupe from either /snap/gladupe/current/ or /home/caleb/projects/gladupe, it won’t find my data files, so instead of beautiful image sprites I get ugly colored rectangles. How do I fix this or change $PWD to be /snap/gladupe/current?

The second is that getenv("HOME") (my program is in C) returns /home/caleb/snap/gladupe/x2 whereas it normally (as in non-snapped) returns /home/caleb. How do I fix that or should I change my code? I just want a file path to save the maps somewhere. Previously that was at /home/caleb/.local/share/gladupe

The other thing I need is a way to install a config file and a few maps when the snap is installed.
I’m imaging some shell script defined in the snapcraft.yaml file, but some tips in that direction (yaml shell script or otherwise) would be great.

Thanks

just write a small wrapper shell script that cd’s into the $SNAP dir (make it executable and make sure it ends up in bin/ in your snap package):

#! /bin/sh

cd $SNAP
exec "$@"

and change your command entry:

apps: 
  gladupe:
    command: yourscript.sh $SNAP/path/to/gladupe

you can not write to hidden dirs in the actual homedir of the user with snaps (well, at least not without some special interface setup that requires manual review of your snap). this is why snap packages have per-snap homedirs (/home/<user>/snap/<snapname>/current) and $HOME (along with the $SNAP_USER_DATA variable) always points to this to make sure everyhting is writable. if your code properly uses getenv(“HOME”) everywhere and doesnt have any hardcoded /home/<user>/ anywhere it should all be fine.

Supported snap hooks

A hook is an executable file that runs within a snap’s confined environment when a certain action occurs. Common examples of actions requiring hooks include: notifying a snap that something has happened Example: If a snap has been upgraded, the snap may need to trigger a scripted migration process to port an old data format to the new one. notifying a snap that a specific operation is in progress Example: A snap may need to know when a specific interface connects or disconnects. A ho…

@ogra Thanks for the reply. I made the wrapper and it works great.
I was also able to change the map location from /home/caleb/snap/gladupe/x1/.local/share/gladupe with some macros, and am able to load and save maps into it.

I tried adding a snap/hooks/install file, containing:

#! /bin/sh

cp -r $SNAP/maps/ $HOME/maps/
cp -r $SNAP/settings/ $HOME/settings/

but I don’t think they’re getting run. At least, when I add an echo command it didn’t do anything.

Also, I’m getting a bunch of (seemingly) random segfaults. My program doesn’t have memory problems (my code, at least), so I’m not sure what to make of them.
Are there any debugging programs I could use to introspect these? I usually use gdb and valgrind, but they’re not very informative in this case.

And all these errors are when in install it via sudo snap install --devmode gladupe_0.1_amd64.snap. When I install and run it by sudo snap install gladupe && gladupe it gives a immediately gives a segfault.

Edit:
The bunch of random segfaults were because I was trying to save files into directories that didn’t exist (because the hook wasn’t working), but snap store segfault is still there.

[ogra]

the install hook is only run at initial install of a snap AFAIK … try moving it to be a configure hook instead or do a “snap remove --purge gladupe” and install it afresh …

(also, dont forget to make the hook script executable, thats essential)

[computingbirder]

I changed the filename to snap/hooks/configure, double-checked that it’s executable, and reinstalled it, but it still isn’t getting called. Many thanks for you’re help though; I’m closer than ever before

[ogra]

hmm, you should be able to see some log output from the script by running journalctl -f in a second terminal while you run sudo snap install ... in another one.

my guess is you will see complaints about a directories not existing … you probably want to add some mkdir -p ... commands to the top of the script to make sure the target dirs exist before copying to them …

Here is my output when installing from the snap store:

Also, I am on Ubuntu 19.10 but using core: 18 in the snapcraft.yaml, and when I run $ snapcraft, part of the output (just after the prime phase) is

The requested action has already been taken. Consider
specifying parts, or clean the steps you want to run again.

Would either of those cause problem?

@computingbirder

“DENIED” operation=“connect” … comm=“gladupe” … peer_addr="@/tmp/.X11-unix/X0"

you are missing the x11 plug in your apps entry …

[computingbirder]

I added apps: gladupe: plugs: - x11, re-ran snapcraft and pushed it. Now I get this output when installing:

But now the program runs without segfaulting immediatly.

[ogra]

well, now is the time where you should start using snappy-debug

sudo snap install snappy-debug
...
snappy-debug.scanlog -r --only-snap=gladupe

that will tell you about the other missing interfaces … add them as asked by the tool

[computingbirder]

I ran the debugger, and it gave me quite a bit of output like

Suggestions:
* adjust program to read necessary files from $SNAP, $SNAP_DATA, $SNAP_COMMON, $SNAP_USER_DATA or $SNAP_USER_COMMON
* add 'personal-files (see https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/the-personal-files-interface for acceptance criteria)' to 'plugs'

and

Suggestions:

* adjust program to use /run/shm/snap.$SNAP_NAME.*
* adjust program to use /run/snap.$SNAP_NAME.*
* adjust snap to use snap layouts (https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/snap-layouts/7207)

So I changed the configure hook to copy the maps to $SNAP_COMMON (and in the code to getenv(“SNAP_COMMON”), and it worked! The only problem was the program segfaulted when I tried to write files into there. Then I tried changing it to $SNAP_USER_DATA, and the behavior was the same as when I used $HOME.
Are there any permissions I need to add to the hook?

[computingbirder]

Well, after a couple of google searches, I found that hooks can’t access any of the _USER_ directories because hooks are run by root, but it worked to just change the bin/run:

#! /bin/sh

cd $SNAP
if ! test -d $SNAP_USER_COMMON/maps; then
    echo "Copying default maps to $SNAP_USER_COMMON/maps"
    cp -r maps $SNAP_USER_COMMON/maps
fi
