** Description changed:
- Clicking the "launch" button from GNOME Software has no effect for
- snaps. This is because snapd doesn't provide any mechanism to determine
- what binaries / .desktop files a snap contains.
+ [Impact]
+ No method of launching snaps from GNOME Software.
+
+ [Test Case]
+ 1. Open GNOME Software
+ 2. Search for a snap (e.g. "moon-buggy")
+ 3. Click on snap description
+ 4. Click install
+
+ Expected result:
+ Snap is installed and launch button is shown (as for .deb apps)
+
+ Observed result:
+ Snap is installed; no launch button shown.
+
+ [Regression potential]
+ Low. We now take advantage of new snapd API to make snaps launchable.
