#
# Bug #1766878 “$SNAPCRAFT_PROJECT_NAME used in a remote part expands to wrong value” : Bugs : Snapcraft
# https://bugs.launchpad.net/snapcraft/+bug/1766878
configflags:
- --datarootdir=/snap/$SNAPCRAFT_PROJECT_NAME/current/share
- --disable-libnotify
- --disable-webkitgtk
organize:
snap/$SNAPCRAFT_PROJECT_NAME/current: /
Make sure you have also adopted the desktop-gtk3 or desktop-gnome-platform remote part as Zenity depends on Gtk3.
Now you can run the desktop-launch zenity(or $SNAP/bin/desktop-launch $SNAP/bin/zenity in classic confinement) command in your launcher etc.
