[snap] Unable to install Extensions

[Ivan]

When attempting to install an extension in the Snap version of Chromium I'm presented with an error message
"An error has occurred Could not create download directory"

Steps to recreate:
Menu > More tools > Extensions
Select any extension to install

I cannot reproduce the problem here.

The download directory for extensions should be "~/snap/chromium/current/.config/chromium/Webstore Downloads/". Does that directory exist on your disk? What permissions and contents does it hold?

[Ivan (quids)]

I have tested further installing the Chromium snap in Kubuntu and Xubuntu. Both allow me to install extensions.

My Ubuntu install still has the issue.
~/snap/chromium/current/ has a symbolic link to ~/snap/chromium/861 which is empty
All folders under ~/snap/chromium/ (861, 881, and common) are empty

Permissions are 755 to ~/snap/chromium/861, ~/snap/chromium/881, and ~/snap/chromium/common
and 777 to ~/snap/chromium/current

Folders under ~/snap/chromium shouldn't be empty. They contain hidden files and folders though, so maybe they appear empty to you because you're not list hidden files. Can you share the output of:

    ls -la ~/snap/chromium/current/
