workflow: add basic smoke test #124
Conversation
Do a very basic check that the snap is valid after the building. Thanks to Sergio for the suggestion.

do we need the $ at the end of the line? Also I feel like a more efficient way to check this is:
| unsquashfs -ll core*.snap | grep /usr/lib/snapd/snapd$ | |
| unsquashfs -ll core*.snap /usr/lib/snapd/snapd | grep /usr/lib/snapd/snapd |
otherwise grep will check every single file in the snap

The $ ensures that the test will fail if the snapd binary is replaced by a directory (like /usr/lib/snapd/snapd/foo), which is highly unlikely but it still makes the test more robust, so I'd vote for keeping it. Your suggestion about limiting the filtering in unsquashfs itself is also good.
