Running GTK3 app as snap cannot find schemas

[bazzet]

So, I have rebuilt a GTK3 snap using snapcraft version 2.34 on Ubuntu Server 16.04.3 LTS.

I get this error message when I run the snap:

**(app:3456): GLib-GIO-ERROR : No GSettings schemas are installed on the system
Trace/breakpoint trap

Since my source and snapcraft.yaml has not changed, I am going to assume that the issue is not therein.

I compared the “desktop-launch” script from a previous (working) snap with the newly built snap. They are slightly different because of some very recent change to snapcraft I assume.

Perhaps there is some bug in there? Specifically at function compile_schemas()? Maybe this is due to some recent change by: @jamesh in this thread?

Any ideas?

Thanks for the report, we’re looking into that now

For anyone finding this thread, I think I’ve solved this problem over in this other thread:

GLib Error, snap not working anymore

I had a running snap for my program, until I changed confinement and the place where some data is saved. I used to save it in the current directory but since this changes to where the user decides to start the program I decided to save the data file into something more appropriate: /home/user/.local/share/myapp/file I asked in askubuntu if I had to use the home plug to achieve this and I was told I didn’t. But now my snap tries to save all the user home subdirs (downloads, Images, etc) but it…

We should have the cloud part fixed shortly.

And the snap runs nicely again, thanks @jamesh!
