I actually have a working warpinator snap but it’s published in the edge channel and unlisted because it’s not fully functional yet. It is possible to send files back and forth, but there’s some other issues I’m working on.
Oh…thank you @popey. Some good news at last. Would you please share your yaml file so I can compare and build locally? I want to learn.
Here’s what I’m currently using. It just consumes the pre-built deb directly out of the mint archives. This isn’t ideal. I did try building from source in the past, on 18.04, but there were a bunch of newer python packages needed. I moved to 20.04, but it was just as painful. So I switched to this method.

Thank you @popey. I did install your warpinator snap from beta channel and looked at snap.yaml. I saw you used core20 but when I tried it with extensions method, it said that extension gnome-3-34 is not supported yet, so I went with desktop-helpers method. Since snap.yml did not have ‘parts’, I combined the ‘environment’, ‘command-chain’ from your file and ‘parts’ from my file. Still doesn’t work (while your snap works). Will use your snapcraft.yaml file to locally build and check.
BTW, there is a interesting discussion regarding python plugin, which may help me. Will check that as well.
