Default aliases are missing from web ui #4855

Open sed-i opened 2 weeks ago

sed-i commented 2 weeks ago

Expected behaviour

Listing page (or dashboard.snapcraft.io) to show existing aliases (and ideally make it possible to request aliases).

It is common to have aliases for snaps because:

  1. We cannot use an underscore in app names; and
  2. Length of a snap name cannot be too short, and "If <app-name> is the same as name, the program will be invoked as app-name. However, if they differ, the program will be exposed as <snap-name>.<app-name>.

For example:

nushell.nu  -> nu 
nushell.nu-plugin-formats -> nu_plugin_formats
# etc.

Currently, default aliases have no visibility.

Steps to reproduce the problem

Look at listing page and try to find the default aliases.
