plainbox-provider plugin: validation of the first provider in a snap can fail based on host system configuration
Metadata
Current evaluation
Host-dependent plainbox-provider validation failure was fixed by merged snapcraft PR #1611 (commit 467e3f040, "plainbox-provider plugin: init PROVIDERPATH"), which initializes PROVIDERPATH so host provider/test definitions can't leak into the build.
Resolution: closed resolved
Reason: Maintainer ~sergiusens linked snapcraft PR #1611 as the resolution; that PR was merged as commit 467e3f040 ("plainbox-provider plugin: init PROVIDERPATH"), setting PROVIDERPATH so plainbox no longer searches hard-coded host paths when validating the first provider.
