snapcraft promote SNAP_NAME --from-channel edge --to-channel candidate --yes

drop the 'latest/' track name also got same error

Thanks for the report. Is the error confusing? what we are essentially saying is that you shouldn't be auto promoting from edge as it is a moving target

[boukendesho]

@sergiusens Yeah a bit confusing to me, so this is a normal behavior by design? I want to automatically promote through cron tasks. Is there any way to do this currently?

[sergiusens]

Not currently, but we can consider adding a flag like --enable-dangerous-promotion. Since edge is a moving target, there is no set that can be created from edge in a reliable way. We could also consider creating sets with version and/or build ids (launchpad and our action-build add these)

@sergiusens ok, thx

This got closed, does it mean that --enable-dangerous-promotion is now implemented?
