Core22 Snap builds don't output error logs
Metadata
Current evaluation
Launchpad core22 snap builds showed no error output. Closed as fixed after snapcraft PR canonical/snapcraft#3889 (commit 72ad273f2) plus craft-parts logging fixes; maintainer confirmed Snapcraft 8 reports stdout/stderr for core22 builds.
Resolution: closed resolved
Reason: The bug was reassigned to Snapcraft upstream and later closed by ~mr-cal, who confirmed the fix: canonical/snapcraft#3889 (merged into hotfix/7.1.3 as 72ad273f2) enables developer debug logging for core22 under CRAFT-1231 and handles closed stdin, together with craft-parts improvements for logging build failures, making stdout/stderr appear in Launchpad build logs with Snapcraft 8.
