snapcraft turns the console text green

[Leo Arias]

When a successful snapcraft execution finishes, it prints a green success message. The problem is the green color remains stuck for all the following text in the terminal (see the attached screenshot).

Instead, the next prompt after the successful message should return to the normal terminal color.

To reproduce:

Install snapcraft 2.30
$ snapcraft init
$ snapcraft

I am not seeing this.

Where are you testing sergiusens? Happens on all my lxcs.

[Leo Arias (elopio)]

Actually, this only happens on the LXCs in my canonistack dev machine. I can't reproduce this locallay, or in a vm. :/

What terminal are you using? What's the TERM environment variable set to? Is there a corresponding /usr/share/terminfo/ file for your terminal in whatever filesystem namespace the terminal's shell is running in?

Thanks

Wanted to reproduce this bug (Ubuntu Gnome 16.04) but faced some issues building from the source.

To build version 2.30 (I can't use apt for this, right?), I cloned the Git's repository, changed to branch 2.30 (git checkout 2.30) and simply tried sudo dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -d. I previously had used apt-get source snapcraft and then tried building from there but not success. I also had built all dependencies using apt build-dep snapcraft.

The buildpackage command has a massive output but in the end it returned:
FAILED (errors=1)
E: pybuild pybuild:274: test: plugin distutils failed with: exit code=1: python3.5 setup.py test
dh_auto_test: pybuild --test -i python{version} -p 3.5 --dir . returned exit code 13
debian/rules:5: recipe for target 'build' failed
make: *** [build] Error 22
dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2

This seems to be related with the rules file but I can't find any extra whitespace in there. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!

Tried reproducing the bug with version 2.29 and the console text turned green:

I?m using Gnome terminal 3.18.3, Ubuntu Gnome 16.04, no TERM set (only in vim). However, I'm not sure if these are set somewhere else, so please let me know if this could be defined in another file.

Hope this helps.

Happened to me too, running a Trusty lxc on a Xenial host, accessed via `lxc exec <container> bash`.
