"version: 0.2" returns confusing error message (trunk)
Metadata
Current evaluation
Confusing error when unquoted version (e.g. 2.11) in snapcraft.yaml is parsed as a float by YAML instead of a string, introduced by PR #2334. Zero maintainer response in 7.6 years; project has since undergone major architectural changes.
Suggested action: close stale
Reason: Filed 2770 days ago with zero comments, no labels, and no maintainer engagement. The issue references PR #2334 from the 2.x era; the current codebase (snapcraft/models/, snapcraft/commands/, snapcraft/parts/) reflects a completely different architecture, making the specific error message and validation path no longer applicable.
