Bug Description
Snapcraft puts $SNAP/bin on $PATH when creating a strictly confined snap, but not on classic. This means that classic snaps using the node plugin won't find node out of the box:
$ heroku
/snap/heroku/
You have to explicitly include $SNAP/bin on the $PATH:
$ git diff
diff --git a/snap/
index 4caa0d5..1fbd2ac 100644
--- a/snap/
+++ b/snap/
@@ -8,7 +8,7 @@ confinement: classic
apps:
heroku:
- command: bin/heroku
+ command: env PATH=$SNAP/
parts:

This is not discoverable. It requires understanding of the internals of classic confinement.

This is because classic is just hard, you would need to compile your interpreter for this to work transparently. I am guessing this is because bin/heroku has a wrong shebang.
