Public bug reported: A snapcraft.yaml with `version: git` has special meaning to snapcraft, supposedly that the version should be picked from the git ref of the repo clone where the snapcraft.yaml lives.
This results in failed snapcrafting when the directory is in fact not a git clone at all Determining the version from the project repo (version: git). fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git This behavior entirely undocumented outside the crappy error after building. ** Affects: snapcraft (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1716363 Title: snapcraft assign special meaning to version:git To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapcraft/+bug/1716363/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
