Can't download snap revision without exported creds (docs)

[Kyle Nitzsche]

I cannot download a specified revision of a snap even though I am the Publisher and it is in the global store unless I set UBUNTU_STORE_AUTH_DATA_FILENAME to a file created by snapcraft --export-login.

$ snap download learnit --revision=18
Fetching snap "learnit"
error: cannot download snap "learnit": Access by specifying a revision is not allowed for this Snap.

But the snap CLI help says the following:

      --revision= Download the given revision of a snap, to which you must have developer access

I would have thought being the Publisher would give me developer access.

$ UBUNTU_STORE_AUTH_DATA_FILENAME=../creds snap download learnit --revision=18
Fetching snap "learnit"
Fetching assertions for "learnit"
Install the snap with:
   snap ack learnit_18.assert
   snap install learnit_18.snap
$

Hi Kyle,

It is working for me.

$ snap download learnit --revision=18
Fetching snap "learnit"
Fetching assertions for "learnit"
Install the snap with:
   snap ack learnit_18.assert
   snap install learnit_18.snap

Could you please retry that using the new snapd?

Could you please retry and in case it fails again please run the script https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/blob/master/debug-tools/snap-debug-info.sh and attach the output.
Thanks
