The ‘prepare’ keyword has been replaced by ‘override-build’
introduced in snapcraft 2.41
The prepare
scriptlet was originally introduced as a way to “prepare” for a build. However, as part of an effort to add support for Snapcraft to have this for all lifecycle steps (i.e. not just build), a new scriptlet has been added that encompasses this functionality called override-build
.
It’s also possible to replace prepare
with override-pull
, depending on your requirements.
override-build
allows you to override the default build
step with your own logic, from which you can call snapcraftctl build
to run the default build
step.
Let’s say you currently had a prepare
scriptlet that looked like this:
prepare: |
echo "This runs before build!"
To get equivalent functionality with the override-build
scriptlet, try this:
override-build: |
echo "This runs before build!"
snapcraftctl build
