The snap newsflash was given custom assertions to auto connect to the webkitgtk content snap. But, users still often face issues where snapd blocks the connection to webkitgtk-6-gnome-2404. The issue was mailed me again today by a user. It’s generally faced very randomly. The logs can be seen here
Can someone kindly investigate into this snap? I think the old assertions can be a problem.
This request has been added to the queue for review by the @reviewers team.
Hey @soumyaDghosh
I think the custom assertion you mention (snap-declaration) was possibly removed at some point when webkitgtk-6-gnome-2404 received global auto-connection. You can check the snap-declaration for newsflash here
I have no idea what is this issue related to. @pedronis does it look familiar to you?
Update: might it be related to Something wrong with webkit2 gtk-4.0?

@jslarraz have you tried ifacetool with the relevant snaps and assertions?
No, I didn’t know about this tool, what’s that? How to use it?
@pedronis Everything looks ok according to ifacetool

@soumyaDghosh ifacetool allows you to simulate snapd behavior in terms of auto-connections. The git repo is GitHub - pedronis/ifacetool: tooling to work with snap interfaces and it is also packaged as a snap ifacetool
Then why does this problem showup randomly?
