How to run a script after snap install?
I'm trying to package a prebuilt application whose source looks something like this.
lib/
usr/
mybinary
abc.sh
With the basic metadata this package is installed and is available via commandline 'mybinary'.
However we have a script 'abc.sh' that adds a desktop icon. How can I run this is script post installation so that a desktop icon is added by generating 'app.desktop' file. This source is pulled from cloud and I cannot add a 'app.desktop' file to the source itself.
Here's the snapcraft.yaml
name: mybinary
version: abcd
summary: abcd
description: abcd
grade: stable
parts:
mybinary:
plugin: dump
source: *url here*
apps:
mybinary:
command: mybinary
snap

In the specific case of a desktop file (and icon), you can place them in the snap/gui directory in your project tree, and you won't need to run the post-install script. If it's another type of file, you can add another part (files from all parts are added to the same location in the stage step).
