Output:

Tried specifying folder got the same output.

Confirmed that this is happening for me as well. The 'snap' seems to be providing a version of SecreteStorage that is newer than the charm says it is going to work with.

[jameinel]

Note that if I switch to the "--beta" channel, which actually has an older version, it then "charm create" works.

Specifically:
snap refresh charm --beta
Says that it installs version "7" of the snap, which has:
$ charm version
charm 2.2.0
charm-tools 2.1.5

And "charm create" ends up with a reactive based charm.

The 2.2 version is pushed through all channels so there is no longer a path around the dep issue.
