[Bug 1577806] Re: webbrowser app and webcontainer open under the same instance
** Description changed: + [Impact] + + On desktop, when a webapp is launched and if the desktop Exec file does + not specify a --app-id= parameter to the webapp-container executable, + any new launched application will share the same instance as one that + has already been launched. + + + [Test Case] + + 1. Install two webapps on desktop that use the webapp-container as a + launcher, + + e.g. + + https://code.launchpad.net/~abreu-alexandre/+junk/webapp-test + + and + + https://code.launchpad.net/~ogra/+junk/slack-webapp + + 2. Make sure that when you launch the slack-webapp nothing happens + (no app id is provided the app is not launched), + + 3. Modify the slack app so that the Exec= line contains the following + argument: + + --app-id=slackclient + + re-install the app, + + 4. Make sure that the 2 apps can be launched simultaneously, + + + [Regression Potential] + + All webapps that dont provide an app-id wont start anymore. All current + webapps though do provide an app-id. + + + Original report description: + --- + I have on xenial the webbrowser-app as my main browser; if I use the webapp-container for anything else it opens as a tab in the main browser window. If I open a container instance first, opening the webbrowser app opens a new tab in the container instance.

[Bug 1577806] Re: webbrowser app and webcontainer open under the same instance
Note: with Alex’s branch, it will become mandatory to pass an explicit app id when invoking the webapp container (that’s under unity7, under unity8 UAL will automatically set the APP_ID env var). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1577806 Title: webbrowser app and webcontainer open under the same instance To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/webbrowser-app/+bug/1577806/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1577806] Re: webbrowser app and webcontainer open under the same instance
This happens because the app id is not set for the webapp, thus defaulting to "webbrowser-app". A workaround is to specify the app id on the command line used to launch the webapp, e.g.: webapp-container --app-id=slack https://ubuntu.slack.com/ or APP_ID=slack webapp-container https://ubuntu.slack.com/ In any case, the absence of an app ID should not default to opening the URL in the browser, that’s completely unexpected and needs to be fixed in the browser/webapp-container. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1577806 Title: webbrowser app and webcontainer open under the same instance To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/webbrowser-app/+bug/1577806/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
