Where does the Ubuntu 18.04 Dock look for apps and app icons?

Snap apps that I've installed do not appear in my Dock. I'm trying to find the environment variables I need to set to fix this.
I read that the Dock uses XDG_DATA_DIRS env var to source the apps that appear in the Dock, and I've ensured that /var/lib/snapd/desktop, which contains snap .desktop files, is appended to that path, but this does not resolve my issue.
The relevant customizations I've made to a fresh Ubuntu 18.04 installation (that I think could possibly interfere with this) include:
- zsh
- Wayland
- Communitheme
18.04 snap gnome-shell ubuntu-dock

I had the same problem when I changed my default shell from /bin/bash to /bin/zsh withchsh. There is more information in this question
