Hey there,
I am updating the Snapcraft file for Typst. Typst has the capability to retrieve local templates of a user from $HOME/.local/share/typst/. Our snap already has the home plug but lacks visibility into private files. Hence, I wanted to add a personal-files plug. However, adding the plug does not seem to have any effect.
Below an excerpt of my Snapcraft.yaml file:
name: typst
base: core22
# ...
confinement: strict
parts:
# build Rust here
plugs:
dot-local-share-typst:
interface: personal-files
read:
- $HOME/.local/share/typst
apps:
typst:
command: "bin/typst"
plugs:
- desktop # access host fonts
- network # retrieve packages
- home # read sources and write output
- removable-media # read sources on media
- dot-local-share-typst # read/write ~/.local/share/typst
After this, I ran these commands on my shell:
snapcraft
sudo snap install typst_version.snap --dangerous
snap connect typst:dot-local-share-typst
Finally, I copied a template package in the appropriate $HOME/.local/share/typst/packages/local/0.1.0/example-template. However, Typst cannot find this file, meaning it cannot access the hidden folder in the home directory through the plug:
$ typst init "@local/example-template:0.1.0"
2024/09/23 15:54:07.570525 cmd_run.go:1055: WARNING: cannot start document portal: dial unix /run/user/1000/bus: connect: no such file or directory
error: package not found (searched for @local/example-template:0.1.0)
I would appreciate any help debugging my Snapcraft file!
