Bug Description

Having:

    base: bare
    build-base: core18

Yields the error:

    % snapcraft
    Issues while validating snapcraft.yaml: must be one of 'base: <base> and type: <app|gadget|kernel|snapd> (without a build-base)' or 'type: base (without a base)'

Which doesn't seem to make sense. How to use build-base?

Thank you for your report.

To this date, build-base only works coupled with "type: base".

What remains to be implemented and is on the roadmap is:

- support for type: kernel
- support for type: app
- bases that are not on a stable channel (such as bare), which would need a mark to determine they were not built on a "stable" base (considering it is not on stable, it could have pending changes to the base), for which we will mark the built snap with "grade: devel"

Changed in snapcraft:
status: New → Triaged
importance: Undecided → Wishlist

The "bare" snap is now in stable. When can we expect support for at least

    base: bare
    build-base: core18

to land?
