How to run a previous version of a snap package

Question

I have a snap package installed and I would like to run a previous version of it temporarily to test something.

I can see several versions of this package is installed in /var/lib/snapd/snaps/

Is there a simple (possibly one liner) command to run the previous version?

Answer 1

• List installed versions in your system:

  $ snap list intellij-idea-ultimate  --all
  Name                    Version   Rev  Tracking       Publisher   Notes
  intellij-idea-ultimate  2019.3.4  212  latest/stable  jetbrains✓  disabled,classic
  intellij-idea-ultimate  2020.1    216  latest/stable  jetbrains✓  classic
  

• Revert to a previous one:

  sudo snap revert intellij-idea-ultimate
  

• Revert to a specific revision:

  sudo snap revert intellij-idea-ultimate --revision 212
