In 16.04, "snap find ." says
No matching snaps for "."
The link given for the REST API documentation gives a 403 error.
I question the assertion that returning a list of all snap packages
would require pagination in the snap client. Pagination is what tools
like "less" are for! Like this
On my Xenial system `snap find` returns only 17 snaps:
$ snap find

We could have 'latest' as a psuedo-category, easily enough.

With the latest snapd the "snap find" command now returns a list of
featured snaps. I really like the idea of having something like `snap
find --freshest` (or --newest). But that would be a separate (whishlist)
bug :)

We will definitely provide lists of newest snaps - that can be cached
and fast.

Glad to see I'm not the only one!
There definitely needs to be a way to get the list of all snaps. I was running
"snap find" every few days to see what new packages were available.
The Software Center doesn't have a filter to show only snaps, and uappexplorer
doesn't show all of the snaps, at

It isn't that we can't do it; it's that it's a lot of work to do it
properly, and there isn't a clear need. 'snap find .' will still only
give you an arbitrary set of 100 packages.
'apt list' is a local query; 'snap find' is a remote one. Having 'snap
find' return all snap packages is expensive,
Update: 'snap find .' works, so the immediate problem is solved. Still,
if 'apt list' can return 50k+ packages, I don't see why 'snap find'
can't return 100.

As to "never what the user wanted", I beg to differ - it was _exactly_
what I wanted :) 'apt list' will list all available packages, I expected
'snap find' to behave in a similar matter.
If this feature is now gone, that is sad IMHO. I hope at least the
documentation can be updated to reflect
There seems to be an issue with it not being displayed as required in
the help output. For now at least it _is_ required.
There is another issue about the error message being unclear.
"snap find" without arguments has not shown "all available snaps" in
quite a while; it would show 100 arbitrary
14 matches
