I would very much like to have two different yaml files for snapcraft:
- A “main” snapcraft.yaml intended for building a production snap
- A “dev” snapcraft.dev.yaml indended for build a snap from local source
It seems like a significant missing feature that you can’t direct snapcraft where the main configuration yaml is located.
For example, docker allows you to specify an alternate location for the Dockerfile (Dockerfile-dev, for example). This is very convenient for building using similar but subtly different configurations.
I propose adding an -f/--file base option to snapcraft to specify an alternate location for the main config to build from.
