Snap does not update PATH variable which results in unusable snap

[K0-RR]

I installed gradle via snap, then installed Java 16 needed to build a project and removed Java 11. The problem is snap still points to nonexisting Java 11.

You are using an outdated version of Java (11). Java 16 or higher is required.
The JAVA_HOME environment variable is currently set to (/snap/gradle/101/usr/lib/jvm/default-java).

Tried removing and installing this snap again, sudo systemctl restart snapd snapd.socket and sudo systemctl daemon-reload with no luck.

The problem is snap still points to nonexisting Java 11.

It appears that Gradle points to the Java runtime bundled in the snap itself instead of the one possibly installed in the host system. Please try reproducing the issue again on a snap built with the modification in PR #12.

The error probably shows up like that because the project probably references against Java 16. Java 11 is perfectly fine and should not cause any trouble. Gradle seems to work fine with Java 8+

The change is ok.

How can I manually build a snap?

Install the snapcraft snap, then run the snapcraft command in the checked-out source tree in a text terminal.

I created another PR (#14) which fixes build issues. Once it's merged, it'll push new builds into the candidate channel so that you can test & let us know.

I just pushed latest changes to candidate channel.

Install via:

snap install gradle --classic --candidate

Update to candidate channel if you already installed it:

snap refresh gradle --candidate

Please test and report back if you have any other issues.
