Title:
Notifications emitted by a snap with local files or desktop files use
wrong namespace
Status in libnotify package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in libnotify source package in Focal:
In Progress
Status in libnotify source package in Jammy:
In Progress
Bug description:
As can be tested using this example snap:
- https://github.com/3v1n0/notify-send-test-snap
Basically the icons are referenced using absolute paths in snap
environment, while they should be readapted so that they depend on
$SNAP location.
As we do with appindicators and libunity emblems.
----
[ Impact ]
Icons sonuds and desktop files referenced by a snapped app using
notifications aren't exposed to the desktop in absolute paths
[ Test case ]
Build the test snap (or install it from the attached files to this bug):
git clone https://github.com/3v1n0/notify-send-test-snap
snapcraft prime
snap try prime
To use the pre-built snap
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libnotify/+bug/1802483/comments/7)
snap install --dangerous notify-send-test-snap_*.snap
Check that icons are shown when launching:
notify-send-test-snap
notify-send-test-snap.image-path
notify-send-test-snap.image-uri
Ensure that desktop entry is correctly sent, monitoring the dbus
session:
In a terminal:
dbus-monitor --session --monitor
"interface='org.freedesktop.Notifications'"
In the other:
notify-send-test-snap.desktop-entry
notify-send-test-snap.desktop-entry-explicit-id
notify-send-test-snap.desktop-entry-explicit-file-name
notify-send-test-snap.desktop-entry-explicit-path
notify-send-test-snap.desktop-entry-explicit-uri
notify-send-test-snap.desktop-entry-explicit-snapped-uri
The
`desktop-entry` value sent to dbus should be either:
- A `notify-send-test-snap_`-prefixed desktop ID
- A .desktop file path (readable from both inside and outside the snap)
- A .desktop file uri (readable from both inside and outside the snap)
[ Regression potential ]
Normal applications that are run with a SNAP environment variable set,
might use wrong paths for files or desktop file
