This is working as intended. This may seem a bit annoying, but strict
confinement means it is important for snapd to confirm that the user
really intended to open an external file, as opposed to an action
triggered automatically by the app.

This was bug #1849160 that is now fixed. In case the update didn't
resolve the issue for you, try running the following command in a
terminal:
snap connect chromium:password-manager-service

Would you mind filing a separate bug for this? This will make it easier
to track and investigate the problem.

Same as above, would you mind filing a separate bug for this?
Thanks!

Title:
[snap] Cannot run chromium as user www-data because home directory is
/var/www
Status in snapd:
Confirmed
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in snapd package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Since the move to snap, and upgrade to 19.10, I can no longer use
headless-chromium to do automated conversions.
The script, as currently run by Apache (user www-data) as a back-end
server process is:
/usr/bin/timeout 60 chromium-browser --no-sandbox --headless
--disable-gpu --window-size=2048,1448 --screenshot='dummy.pdf'
'http://localhost/[...]' 2>&1 2>&1
This returns error 1, with:
dconf-CRITICAL **: 19:41:17.958: unable to create directory
'/var/www/.cache/dconf': Permission denied. dconf will not work
properly.
WARNING: cannot create user data directory: cannot create
"/var/www/snap/chromium/899":
mkdir /var/www/snap: permission denied
Sorry, home directories outside of /home are not currently supported.
See https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/11209 for details.
So... how are we supposed to use scripted Chrome for headless work, when the
snaps don't support it?
This is a major blocker for me, as it completely destroys my ability to do
any development work, because the build-toolchain for selftests relies on the
ability of chrome to operate headless.
