test_snappy_version fails on artful

[Joshua Powers]

Steps to reproduce:

$ lxc launch ubuntu-daily:artful a
$ lxc exec a bash
# snap --version
snap snapctl
root@a:~# snap --version
snap 2.26.1+17.10
snapd unavailable
series -

As stated below it appears that snapd was not running. Upon inspection the service was not running and could not be started manually. systemctl output: https://paste.ubuntu.com/24583118/

cloud-init integration tests reported a failure in artful as of May 15, 2017:

======================================================================
FAIL: test_snappy_version (tests.cloud_tests.testcases.get_suite.<locals>.tmp)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):

AssertionError: 'ubuntu ' not found in 'snap 2.26.1+17.10\nsnapd unavailable\nseries -\n'

This test runs the 'snap --verison' command and gets the output. Then verifies the following are contained in the output:

self.assertIn('snap ', out)
self.assertIn('snapd ', out)
self.assertIn('series ', out)
self.assertIn('ubuntu ', out)

Works fine here:

(base)adconrad@nosferatu:~$ snap --version
snap 2.26.1+17.10
snapd 2.26.1+17.10
series 16
ubuntu 17.10
kernel 4.10.0-21-lowlatency

@adconrad - what platform did you run that on? both the test and my output came from a LXD container using the ubuntu-daily image.

[Adam Conrad (adconrad)]

That as just on my laptop, running up to date artful. Sounds like the snapd service isn't running in your container?

[Joshua Powers (powersj)]

You are correct the service is not running:
https://paste.ubuntu.com/24583118/

Steps to reproduce:

$ lxc launch ubuntu-daily:artful a
$ lxc exec a bash
# snap --version
snap snapctl
root@a:~# snap --version
snap 2.26.1+17.10
snapd unavailable

Marking this as fix-released.
It probalby should have been an ubuntu bug, but I've just checked with an lxc container

root@a1:~# snap --version
snap 2.27.6+17.10
snapd 2.27.6+17.10
series 16
ubuntu 17.10
kernel 4.13.0-11-generic
root@a1:~# cat /etc/cloud/build.info
build_name: server
