[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/robru/src/bileto.snap/stage/debian/source'

[Robert Bruce Park]

So I'm trying to create my first snap. You can see what I have so far here:

https://git.launchpad.net/~robru/+git/bileto.snap/tree/

One script, snapcraft.yaml pulls in some ubuntu deps and one bzr project. When I run 'snapcraft stage' I get a seemingly sane-looking stage, with my script in stage/bin and the debs I want installed there. When I run 'snapcraft snap', I get:

[snip]

[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/robru/src/bileto.snap/stage/debian/source'

What? Why is snapcraft expecting stage/ to be a debian package? None of the documentation suggested that stage/ should have a debian/ under it.

Apparently this is caused by missing the "snap:" section under each part. Would be great if the error message was meaningful.

[Sergio Schvezov (sergiusens)]

Since files are migrated from `stage` to `prime` this would be the case, we can autoinclude `stage` filters into the `snap` one and everyone would be happy until something unexected happens or fail with a better error message
