Snapcraft: cannot login

Dear all,

I can no longer use snapcraft to login or upload my packages. All commands that I have tried terminate with unclear error messages that leave me clueless what to do. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Best,

Stefan.

I have just discovered I have this issue too. @sergiusens @cmatsuoka, would either of you have thoughts on how to fix this? It currently blocks the ability to upload new snaps to the snap store.

I first saw this with the snapcraft in edge, but it happens with v7.0.7 in stable too.

Is there a bug a report on the issue or someone working on a fix? Having online video is nice for those who will find them but a background upgrade shouldn’t simply let you with a non working system…

If we haven’t previously logged into snapcraft, are you saying that we need to install snapcraft 6 to be able to login, then save our credentials, then switch to snapcraft 7 and import those credentials? That seems like too many hoops to expect people to go through to use snapcraft 7 in a logged-in state.
