“Error generating delta: delta_tool_path must be set in subclass!"

I was uploading a snap to the store yesterday and got this message:-

“Error generating delta: delta_tool_path must be set in subclass! 
Falling back to pushing full snap…”

What does it mean? Why does it appear? Should I care?

I made it go away (I needed it to go away because it’s a bit ugly appearing in a tutorial video I was making at the time) by deleting all of ~/.cache/snapcraft.

snapcraft as a snap? If so I think you need to install xdelta3. If that works it means we have work to do.

Yes 2.32. Installing xdelta3 fixed it.

Just a reminder that this is still an issue. I just uploaded from a new machine and had the same problem

Still an issue… I just hit it with gimp.
