snapcraft dashboard not changes account name

[Qiplex]

Hello,

Looks like snapcraft dashboard https://dashboard.snapcraft.io/dev/account/ not picking up account full name changed in Ubuntu One.

Also, old name displayed in https://uappexplorer.com/

Kindly assist.

Hello,

Because of the way Ubuntu One SSO and the snapcraft dashboard communicate, any changes in Ubuntu One are only picked up if you log out and then back in. Please:

1- In dashboard.snapcraft.io, click on the arrow next to your name (top right), then select "log out" from the dropdown menu.
2- Log back in by clicking "sign in or register" (top right), you'll be asked for your Ubuntu One login/password.
3- Confirm that the top right menu now shows your updated account full name as desired.

Also, a snap's metadata including the account name is only pushed to the package index when certain operations happen, for instance when releasing a new snap or changing its privacy status. So in order for your account's name change to be published in the package index (which will cause clients such as uappexplorer to pick the change), the easiest way is to:

1- Confirm that the top right menu now shows your updated account full name as desired.
2- In your snap's summary page, click on "Make private".
3- Once the page reloads, it will say "Package is private". Now, click on "Make public".
4- The control will again say "Package is public". At this time the new data should have been published to the package index.

Let me know if this solves your problems.

Thank you so much Daniel for such detailed answer!

After login / logout snapcraft picked up new name nicely.

Regarding https://uappexplorer.com - it still shows old name after changing package privacy. But I believe it happens because index not rebuilds immediately. And some time needed before name changes will display correctly.

I will give it some time and see how it goes.

Thanks again, Daniel! Will keep you posted.
