Licensing info not showing in "snap info"

Hi there,

I have a snap called shfmt that I packaged up for upstream.

I was just refreshing and noticed that when I run snap info shfmt that it shows the licensing info as unset.

❯ snap info shfmt
name:      shfmt
summary:   A shell parser, formatter and interpreter (POSIX/Bash/mksh).
publisher: Dustin Krysak (bashfulrobot)
store-url: https://snapcraft.io/shfmt
contact:   dustin@bashfulrobot.com
license:   unset
description: |
  "A shell parser, formatter and interpreter (POSIX/Bash/mksh)."
commands:
  - shfmt
snap-id:      QTbIv2VzcPGpSbhpsqpySciwS7sOE822
tracking:     latest/stable
refresh-date: 12 days ago, at 23:00 PDT

  latest/stable:    3.1.0 2020-04-22 (17) 1MB -
  latest/candidate: ↑                         
  latest/beta:      ↑                         
  latest/edge:      3.1.0 2020-04-22 (17) 1MB -
installed:          3.1.0            (17) 1MB -

But when I look in the web interface for the listing page (https://snapcraft.io/shfmt/listing) - I do have it set.

licensing-issue-shfmt

If I do not have a license specified in my snapcraft.yaml does that overwrite?

Any suggestions?

Thank you.

This is what I get:

$ snap info shfmt
name:      shfmt
summary:   A shell parser, formatter and interpreter (POSIX/Bash/mksh).

  latest/beta:      ↑                         
  latest/edge:      3.1.1 2020-05-04 (18) 1MB -

Maybe it just took a while for all the caches to be cleared etc?

Snap info on an installed snap will show what you set in the snap’s snapcraft.yaml, not what you configured in the web Ui :slight_smile:

Dustin has the snap installed, while Merlijn does not, this is why you see different things.

Add a license field to your snapcraft yaml and rebuild the snap, then snap info will show that if you have the snap installed.
