Need an assist with mc-installer snap

snap
1

After releasing a minor update for mc-installer, successfully testing for a couple of days, the snap now fails to load.

I strongly suspect that the issue is with the minecraft-launcher binary as the logs seem to indicate that $SNAP_USER_DATA is being blacklisted. See logs here.

Here’s the snippet that leads me to believe it’s the binary to blame:

[Info: 2021-03-03 19:46:38.213901315: NetQueue.cpp(154)] NetQueue: Setting up.

Then:

Failed to iterate over the /home/james/.minecraft/launcher directory: Permission denied

Again, this snap has been working for some time, with the same path $SNAP_USER_DATA/minecraft-launcher/./minecraft-launcher

I’ve tried a few changes to the launch script used by the snap, but no joy.

Here’s a link to my repo.

I’m actually concerned that I can’t resolve this and the snap will be retired. Hopefully, someone smarter than me can help.

TIA!

I failed to mention that older revs fail in the same way.

Please see this request for a possible fix: Auto-connect personal-files request for mc-installer

Will require someone from Canonical to approve - I assume.

@galgalesh thanks for the continual assistance.

We’ve got a working version as stated here.
