Passing args to an app's command

How do I pass args to my app’s command in snapcraft.yaml? eg

apps:
  my-app:
    command: bin/my-app [args]

Such that I can run the snap with:
$ my-snap.my-app --arg1 --arg2

Is what you’re asking is to have the options always be specified to the command?

If so then all you need to do is:

apps:
  my-app:
    command: bin/my-app --arg1 --arg2

I want the args to be passed in when running the command. i.e. once my snap has been installed I want to be able to pass optional args to a command:

$ my-snap.my-app --arg1 --arg2

I had assumed there was some equivalent to ‘$1 $2’ but it seems this just works ‘out of the box’!

You shouldn’t need to do anything for this… parameters passed on the CLI will make it through to whatever is defined in command.
