[Bug 1887201] Re: [snap] web bluetooth does not work

Thanks David. The updated snap with the bluez plug is now in the stable channel (for amd64, other architectures will follow shortly), so I'm marking this bug fixed.

[Bug 1887201] Re: [snap] web bluetooth does not work
I attempted to post the following request on the snapcraft store to start the request process, but was not able to because I am a "new" user (limited to 2 links and one image): The [chromium](https://snapcraft.io/chromium) web browser has support for [Web Bluetooth](https://webbluetoothcg.github.io/web-bluetooth/). This is still considered experimental on Linux and must be enabled in the Browser setting via [chrome://flags/#enable-experimental-web- platform-features](chrome://flags/#enable-experimental-web-platform- features). Although technically it is experimental, we have found that it works perfectly well for our web app. [https://code.pybricks.com/](https://code.pybricks.com/) The app can detect if a browser supports Web Bluetooth or not. For example if using Firefox (which doesn't have Web Bluetooth support) or using Chromium with experimental web features disabled, uses will see this error message when clicking the Bluetooth button.  If Web Bluetooth is enabled, users will see this dialog box instead.  However, we recently discovered that [Chromium installed via snap does neither](https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium- browser/+bug/1887201). Clicking the Bluetooth button simply does nothing. This can be fixed by manually connecting the Chromium snap to the [BlueZ](https://snapcraft.io/bluez) interface. It does not seem reasonable to expect all web developers using Web Bluetooth to add a special case to their web app to detect Chromium running in a snap without bluez connected (and this is very probably not even technically possible at this point in time) and to communicate to their users that there are extra steps needed to manually configure their web browser via a terminal window. Therefore we are requesting that the chromium snap be allowed to automatically connect to the bluez interface. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1887201 Title: [snap] web bluetooth does not work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1887201/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1887201] Re: [snap] web bluetooth does not work
Thanks for the feedback David. By default the bluez interface is not connected automatically (see https://snapcraft.io/docs/bluez-interface). Having it auto-connected would require a store assertion that needs to be requested and approved by a team of reviewers. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1887201 Title: [snap] web bluetooth does not work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1887201/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1887201] Re: [snap] web bluetooth does not work
I can confirm it is working now. Thank you very much for the fix.

[Bug 1887201] Re: [snap] web bluetooth does not work
I installed the snap from the candidate channel, and after enabling the experimental feature flag, I get a popover dialog that appears to be searching for compatible bluetooth devices, so it seems to work as expected.
