Android Studio Snap directory name change causes critical issues for Flutter, idk if this can be reverted.

So I've started getting errors that Android Studio's bundled java can't be found when I run flutter doctor:

I've noticed a change that the /snap/android-studio/current/android-studio/jre is renamed to /snap/android-studio/current/android-studio/jbr now that is an easy fix that's done by just changing the env var in ~/.bashrc, or so I thought.

So after fixing my environment variable I still get this error:

No biggie, I thought. I'll just symlink jre to jbr. No luck, it's a snap read only file system.

I think it would be good to revert jbr name back to jre.

Here is the relevant Flutter issue https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/119244 -- it seems the rename from jre to jbr is intentional by Google

Giraffe is now in the edge channel. Would be helpful to have some testing

The issue persists. Running flutter doctor gives:

$ flutter doctor

The issue is that flutter expects to find jre directory in the /home/user/Android/Sdk while the Android Studio snap recently moved that to /snap/android-studio/current/android-studio/jbr.

The problem is, in flutter config we can only define android-studio-dir which is /home/aresminos/Android/Sdk but we can't define jre or jbr directory separately. Flutter is looking for that in android-studio-dir/jre/bin/java by default and I can't find a way to change it.

The only workaround I've found so far is to manually link /home/aresminos/Android/Sdk/jre to /snap/android-studio/current/android-studio/jbr. It seems to work but it's not how it should stay.

I've tried setting JAVA_HOME and PATH in different ways to /snap/android-studio/current/android-studio/jbr to see if that would work but no use. The only workaround is to link it.

Closing this because 2022.3.1.20 is now in stable.
