I am investigating whether I can fix the error by using an option, '--user-data-dir=/tmp', when I launch the chromiumdriver.
First, snap has made the use of this simple tool, chromiumdriver, much more complex. Second, I have tried to uninstall the snap version of the tool and I cannot now install a non-snap version. Somehow snap has soured the soup. If it is going to cause these kinds of problems, I am certainly not going to be trying to use snap for other tools unless I have to. If the install requirements are very complex, such as with installing certificates, snap is a good thing. But when the install process is simple, one should not use snap? Is that the solution? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to chromium-browser in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1932990 Title: cannot create user data directory: /opt/appserver/snap/chromium/1646: Permission denied Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: All I am getting is: cannot create user data directory: /opt/appserver/snap/chromium/1646: Permission denied Jun 18, 2021 9:11:36 PM org.openqa.selenium.os.OsProcess checkForError But: # ls -ld /opt/appserver/snap/chromium/1646 drwxr-xr-x 2 appserver appserveradm 4096 Jun 18 20:46 /opt/appserver/snap/chromium/1646 The application (a java app) that is making the call to selenium is owned by appserver.
