Validator for the snap's icon appears to check the file before the snap is compiled
Metadata
Current evaluation
Snapcraft icon validator checks file existence before compilation, contradicting docs that specify container-relative paths. No maintainer response in ~10 years; unlabelled and unassessed.
Suggested action: needs triage
Reason: The issue has zero comments, no labels, no assignee, and no maintainer interaction across 3556 days (~9.7 years), showing no sign of ever being categorised or prioritised. The reported bug (icon path validation running before the build stage, contradicting the metadata.md docs) is a genuine usability defect with a clear reproduction, but it cannot be confirmed whether the validation logic has since been refactored, so a maintainer needs to assess current relevance before any close or fix decision.
