qt binding for installing snap with specific channel not working

[soumyaDghosh]

While working on the snap backend of discover, I was trying to implement the option that channels can be mentioned while installing. According to this, the channel just needs to be passed.

But, even with this, the snap is installed from latest/stable only

setRequest(m_client->install(app->packageName(), QStringLiteral("latest/edge")));

or

setRequest(m_client->install(app->packageName(), QStringLiteral("edge")));

Is there a particular snap this is occurring with?

Some things to try:

• Compare with running the from the command line, e.g. snap install --channel latest/edge <snap name>
• Does the snap have that channel open? Use snap info <snap name> to check, it might be tracking the channel you chose but there is no snap in that channel.

Okay, thanks for this lead. It's probably working for only one particular snap. That snap is probably problematic. Thanks a lot for the quick reply! Closing!
