Hey there,
I feel like this should be a very common thing to do, but I cannot find any pages or posts about it.
How do I give arguments to my snapcraft build? Like you would in docker do docker build --build-arg=SOME_TOKEN=lksdfjow
?
The reason I am asking is that inside my snapcraft I build a flutter app that pulls dependencies from private GitLab repositories.
In docker I have achieved this by giving my GitLab credentials to my docker build, and then inside the the build I create a .git-credentials file by doing echo "https://${GITLAB_USERNAME}:${GITLAB_TOKEN}@gitlab.com" > /.git-credentials
I did already get it to work like this:
parts:
git-credentials:
plugin: dump
source: .
stage:
- .git-credentials # to stage files leading with a . you have to stage them explicitly
my-flutter-app:
after: [flutter-git, git-credentials]
source: .
plugin: nil
override-build: |
# Set git credentials so we can pull private repositories in "pub get"
git config --global credential.helper "store --file $CRAFT_PART_BUILD/.git-credentials"
Is that the correct way to do it?
Just asking to see if there is other ways + to create some documentation for any others that are curious.
