Errors due to "missing" files using "stage:"
Metadata
Current evaluation
Report of "missing" file errors from excluding paths via a stage: stanza was fixed by merged PR snapcore/snapcraft#920 (commit 5a253c13a), which made pluginhandler include staged files during prime for excludes/wildcard-only entries.
Resolution: closed resolved
Reason: Maintainer joetalbott pointed the reporter to snapcore/snapcraft#920, which merged as commit 5a253c13a ('pluginhandler: ensure staged files are included in the prime step'). The pluginhandler change and accompanying tests allow files to be excluded in either the stage or snap stanzas without raising missing-file errors, matching the requested behaviour.
