### Bug Description When trying to use `.snapcraft.yaml` as the project file (with, for example https://github.com/maxiberta/htop-snap), `snapcraft` gives the error: ``` ❯ snapcraft Project file 'snapcraft.yaml' not found in '/home/superalpaca/canonical/htop-snap'. Recommended resolution: Ensure the project file exists. Full execution log: '/home/superalpaca/.local/state/snapcraft/log/snapcraft-20241001-130647.933900.log' ``` I've only tried this on snapcraft 8.4.1 with a core24 snap, so not sure if this applies to others versions/bases as well. ### To Reproduce Prerequisite is snapcraft 8.4.1 installed on the system ``` git clone https://github.com/maxiberta/htop-snap cd htop-snap mv snap/snapcraft.yaml .snapcraft.yaml snapcraft ``` ### Environment On Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS, using snapcraft 8.4.1 and using LXD for the build I think ### snapcraft.yaml ```yaml name: htop base: core24 adopt-info: htop summary: Interactive processes viewer description: | htop is an ncurses-based process viewer similar to top, but it allows one to scroll the list vertically and horizontally to see all processes and their full command lines. Tasks related to processes (killing, renicing) can be done without entering their PIDs.
