[SOLVED] Snapcraft is failing with "IndentationError: expected an indented block"

Since yesterday, without any (I hope so!) modifications on our side, the snapcraft build of Remmina is failing, and I don’t know how to debug this issue.

$ snapcraft --destructive-mode

IndentationError: expected an indented block

Can I have some help to debug this?

Thanks in advance!!!

You might try yamllint:

sudo apt install -y yamllint

yamllint snap/snapcraft.yaml

Might be available as a snap, not sure. I use it all the time. It’s very picky (you can customize to make it less picky), but it works quite well.

I use it.
We didin’t touch the yaml since many months, when suddenly I got that error

Heh, I guess I should go check my snaps for this issue . . .

It seems that snapcraft itself is crashing on indentation error. It is the python code that is the problem, not the yaml. CC @sergiusens

I’ve submitted a bug report

The problem has been identified and fixed, it was the ubuntu/gnome docker image, they have rebuilt it and now it’s fine.
thanks for the help.
