This thread got sidetracked to a different discussion, but I am seeing issues related to the original question. I have a simple test app which looks like this in snapcraft .yaml: apps: tester: command: usr/bin/echo-vars.sh environment: MY_RO_AREA: $SNAP MY_RO_AREA_BAD: $SNAP/etc/myro MY_RW_AREA: $SNAP_DATA MY_RW_AREA_BAD: $SNAP_DATA/myrw plugs: [ network, network-bind ]
The command simply echos the values of those variables like this: echo "MY_RO_AREA = $MY_RO_AREA" On Ubuntu-core the literal part of the string is doubled: jwcoates@localhost:~$ snap run tester MY_RO_AREA = /snap/tester/x1 MY_RO_AREA_BAD = /snap/tester/x1/etc/myro/etc/myro <<<<<<<<< MY_RW_AREA = /var/snap/tester/x1 MY_RW_AREA_BAD = /var/snap/tester/x1/myrw/myrw <<<<<<<<< jwcoates@localhost:~$ snap --version snap 2.23 snapd 2.23 series 16 kernel 4.4.0-53-generic On Ubuntu classic the $SNAP variables are not expanded (exact same snap executed): netop@Snappy-Appliance:~$ sudo snap run tester MY_RO_AREA = $SNAP MY_RO_AREA_BAD = $SNAP/etc/myro MY_RW_AREA = $SNAP_DATA MY_RW_AREA_BAD = $SNAP_DATA/myrw netop@Snappy-Appliance:~$ snap --version snap 2.22.7 snapd 2.22.7 series 16 ubuntu 16.04 kernel 4.4.0-65-generic Anyone else seeing this ?

I can verify this. To clarify, this builds and runs fine, but actually results in the PATH including the string `$PATH` instead of expanding it. Can a snapd dev comment on this? Is that intended? -- Kyle Fazzari (kyrofa) Software Engineer Canonical Ltd. k...@canonical.com ________________________________ DISCLAIMER: This e-mail and any attachments to it may contain confidential and proprietary material and is solely for the use of the intended recipient.
