Prerequisites

  • Your snap must be using the gnome-platform content sharing snap
  • Your snap must use core18 base (support for the core base is coming)

How to use

Merge the following part definition to your Snapcraft YAML:

parts:
  # Integrate custom dialogs in your snap - doc - snapcraft.io
  # https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/integrate-custom-dialogs-in-your-snap/10825
  zenity-integration:
    plugin: nil
    stage-snaps:
      - zenity-integration

The layout configuration is now no longer needed and can be dropped :slight_smile: .

Why not simply set stage-packages: [ zenity ]?

  • The redundant Webkit related libraries bloats the snap size for about 40MiB
  • Stripping the redundant files using prime keywords complicates the part definition
  • Additional layout configuration fix is required, increases the complexity of the snapcraft recipe

Perhaps this could be adapted into another stage-snap which uses snapctl is-connected to make it easy to show users when a snap interface is not connected?
