App name in snapcraft.yaml must match case of .desktop file

[Chris MacNaughton]

When building out a snap, I just ran into this:

When the app name is capitalized the same way as the .desktop file, it works:

apps:
  Alacritty:
    command: |
      env XDG_CONFIG_HOME=$SNAP_DATA alacritty
    desktop: Alacritty.desktop

However, if it doesn't, like:

apps:
  alacritty:
    command: |
      env XDG_CONFIG_HOME=$SNAP_DATA alacritty
    desktop: Alacritty.desktop

when snapcraft goes to edit the exec line in the .desktop file, it just removes it instead and leaves a broken .desktop file

Capitalized app names are not supported at he moment.

Could that be the issue?

random thoughts: does snapcraft output error message as we have capitalized app names if that's not supported ?
