2020-01-27 19:04:55 Shaheed Haque description I develop using Selenium-over-chromedriver on a current 19.10. I noticed a recent upgrade introduced snap-based packages for chromium 79, and now I find that all my tests fail to run. Under the cover, this seems to be the problem: $ /usr/bin/chromedriver cannot perform operation: mount --rbind /home /tmp/snap.rootfs_ZmHWri//home: Permission denied I'm not familiar with snap, but I see possibly related issues: - (Different error message, but headline is similar) upstream at https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/issues/7788 - Some references in Google that snap might not be happy with $HOME not being under /home, and note that I have a historic installation of ZFS, with /home as a (soft)link to /main, not a "normal" top level directory, and with my home set as follows: $ echo $HOME /main/srhaque I'm happy to help diagnose further, but am not sure what might be relevant. Any clues welcome as I am rather stuck. I develop using Selenium-over-chromedriver on a current 19.10.
