'snapcraft push' dies with traceback if credentials are invalid
Metadata
Current evaluation
'snapcraft push' emitted a raw UnicodeDecodeError traceback when legacy snapcraft.cfg store credentials were malformed; current code catches decoding failures and raises a handled LegacyCredentialsParseError.
Suggested action: close resolved
Reason: The exact reported failure mode is now handled in snapcraft/store/_legacy_account.py: base64 decode of malformed credential content is wrapped in `except (binascii.Error, UnicodeDecodeError)` and re-raised as errors.LegacyCredentialsParseError (a SnapcraftError, so a clean message instead of a traceback), and commit 3784560f3 "fix(store): catch credential decoding errors" added the regression test test_store_credentials_unicode_decode_error. Maintainer ~kyrofa explicitly noted "We need to handle that error better", which is what that commit delivers, so the issue's requested improvement has landed.
