It copies my home directory with all my directories to parts/gosim/src and parts/gosim/build
All my documents are copied, why!?

Ordinarily it wouldn’t Most likely the source
line in one of your parts is a bit wrong.
Can you paste the entire snapcraft.yaml, and put it between three backticks to make it readable.
like this
name: gosim
version: "0.20"
summary: Block diagram simulator, like simulink
description: GoSim is a block diagram simulator similar to Simulink. Is uses GNU Octave as a mathematical engine.
grade: stable
confinement: devmode
apps:
gosim:
command: java -jar $SNAP/GoSim/gosim.jar
parts:
gosim:
plugin: gradle
source: .
override-build: |
export JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64"
gradle release -x test -x createGitTag
unzip /home/cr/Skrivbord/Nymapp/GoSim.zip -d $SNAPCRAFT_PART_INSTALL/
build-packages:
- unzip
- openjdk-8-jdk
it’s just a dot, i copied your example:
if it is a java jar file why are the source files needed? Can i just omit the line?
my snap isn’t working btw, i get an error:
thanks in advance
The error messages make it sound like you’ve put the snapcraft.yaml
directly in your home directory. Try putting your project in a subdirectory of your home dir and things should work a lot better.
In general, a Snapcraft project is a whole directory hierarchy rather than just the snapcraft.yaml
file. As your home dir is going to contain a lot of files unrelated to your project, it is a bad idea to have the project rooted there.
my snapcraft.yaml is in /home/cr/snap/
That is going to have the same effect as putting snapcraft.yaml
in your home folder. ./snap
is a special folder that snapcraft will treat as “part of a project” with the project folder being the folder that contains ./snap
(i.e. your home folder in this case).
You might be able to fudge it with your current folder layout by cd $HOME/snap
before running snapcraft
, but it is potentially still going to be a problem.
Within a snapcraft project, the yaml file can either be located at snap/snapcraft.yaml
, snapcraft.yaml
, or .snapcraft.yaml
. So you’re still running snapcraft as if your entire home directory is your snapcraft project.
That’s probably also a bad idea, since ~/snap
is where snapd puts files belonging to installed snaps. He’d just be trading unwanted files from his home directory for unwanted files from installed snaps.
Oops, I completely overlooked that fact.
ok, I think I get it, thanks!
