Cannot open Julia (snap app) from Atom Juno IDE
I've the Julia snap installed on Ubuntu. I can't open it via Atom even when I change the directory to the snap directory. The error message I get is:
Julia could not be started. We tried to launch Julia from: /snap/bin/ This path can be changed in the settings. Details: /bin/sh: 1: /snap/bin/: Permission denied
Perhaps the contained nature of the snap causes this issue? Is there an easy get around this? If not, will this be looked at? Currently the snap app is the easiest way to install Julia on Ubuntu and I'd love to get to use it via Juno. Perhaps, another complication is that I've the Atom snap installed as well...
Here are the details of the snap app:

By the way the link provided in the contact field is broken and I had to search around a lot to finally get to this bug reporting stage.
We tried to launch Julia from: /snap/bin/
That should be snap/bin/julia instead.

What link are you talking about?
Thanks for the quick reply. I'd tried using that path before, but then I get this message: Julia could not be started. We tried to launch Julia from: /snap/bin/julia This path can be changed in the settings. Details: /bin/sh: 1: /snap/bin/julia: not found
The link that I'm talking about is: contact: https://git.fmind.me/fmind/julia-stable This link is shown when the command "snap info julia-stable" is run from the terminal. I tried contacting via that link before. Apologies, I think that is the link for the julia snap. I guess you'd not bother with that.
I think I made some progress. I tried changing the path to /snap/bin/julia-stable This produces the following message:
Julia could not be started. We tried to launch Julia from: /snap/bin/julia-stable This path can be changed in the settings. Details: Coudln't resolve version.
Also: Coudln't is a typo.
Would you normally (e.g. in a terminal) start Julia via /snap/bin/julia-stable or with just julia? If you can make sure that whatever command the snap suggests allows you to run <commandname> --version then that error message should not pop up.
To start Julia in a terminal, I just run julia-stable.
Running julia-stable --version in the terminal works and produces the output julia version 1.0.0.
But I can't get Juila to start in Atom (even after changing path to /snap/bin/julia-stable which I think is the correct path).
The problem can be reproduced if you install the Atom snap, and the julia-stable snap in any *bunutu distro and then after installing Juno etc and changing Julia path try running Julia from Atom.
I'm having the same issue as barrel0luck, also getting the "Couldn't resolve version" error. Was there any progress on this?
Well I never succeeding in getting the Snap distribution of Julia running in Atom, but I did get Julia installed and working nicely. I'll list the steps in case its helpful to others.
I installed Atom (snap I think, can't remember). Then downloaded Julia from their website (not snap). To download and install Julia from the terminal: wget https://julialang-s3.julialang.org/bin/linux/x64/1.0/julia-1.0.4-linux-x86_64.tar.gz sudo tar xvzf julia-1.0.4-linux-x86_64.tar.gz -C /opt
then run as: /opt/julia-1.0.4/bin/julia or /opt/julia-1.0.4/bin/ ./julia
At that point you can add shortcut to your launcher or add Julia to PATH and adjust the settings in Atom accordingly. I also benefited from checking "fallback renderer" in the atom-client settings to speed up the laggy terminal. Hope that helps.
Thanks for this. I've been able to use the non-snap version of Julia in Atom as well, but not the snap version, which is the subject of this bug. So while this is good for those who are thinking there is no other way to run Julia in Atom, it's not really a solution to the bug...
Agreed.

Okay, so I just installed snap on my machine and things seem to work just fine -- the only thing I changed was to alias the snap Julia install with
sudo snap alias julia sjulia
The reason for that was that julia is already an alias for a different Julia install. Not sure if that's relevant, but it's certainly something you could try.
Hm, all I did was sudo snap install julia --classic followed by that alias command.
besides the way to install above, is there an apt-get version of julia? ppa repository somewhere?
i try to avoid snaps, because they always give problems when trying to communicate with the rest of the installed environment (i.e. basic functioning)
The only thing that works is :
go to linux terminal, add sudo snap alias julia sjulia and then head over to Juno settings in Atom and set the path to sjulia only.
This problem only occurs on the snap version of atom and is caused by the snap security features. If you try a directly installed version of atom it should work flawlessly with the snap version of julia.
@bamarc I can confirm that installing the regular version on Atom fixes this issue (at least with the snap version of Julia). The only issue is the snap versions are lagging in the latest updates.
Is this relevant?: https://github.com/mortenpi/julia-snaps
this was working to me,
writing in the julia path in atom:
/snap/julia/current/bin/julia
Elycoo suggestion just works for both Atom and Julia installed through snap.
