craft_parts.packages.snaps module

Helpers to install snap packages.

class craft_parts.packages.snaps.SnapPackage(snap)[source]

Bases: object

SnapPackage acts as a mediator to install or refresh a snap.

It uses information provided by snapd implicitly referring to the local and remote stores to obtain information about the snap, such as its confinement value and channel availability.

This information can also be used to determine if a snap should be installed or refreshed.

There are risks of the data falling out of date between the query and the requested action given that it is not possible to hold a global lock on snapd and the store data can change in between validation and execution.

Download a given snap.
