I can reliably reproduce the problem with chromium-browser 84.0.4115.5-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 from the dev PPA (ppa:chromium-team/dev). The relevant error messages are:

Note that the chromium snap in the edge channel (version 84.0.4115.5) is not affected, devtools function correctly.

Ok. Thanks. The console is open all of the time here for testing and experimentation. Random tabs crashing are simpler to deal with than console not opening at all.

Not sure what precisely is undefined at root-legacy.js and devtools_compatibility.js. Did notice that changes were recently made at https://github.com/ChromeDevTools/devtools-frontend/blob/5e43b27e8b453a22e365561b6a9a08d47999e6d4/front_end/root/module.json and https://github.com/ChromeDevTools/devtools-frontend/blob/6d51bf00ea3cdb7ef4d935bb52c15e25708f21fb/front_end/RuntimeInstantiator.js

One interesting data point: the chromium snap in the edge channel (currently at version 84.0.4147.13), built on bionic, isn't affected by this bug.

Have no experience with snap. What is edge channel? Browsed through an article/thread a few days ago where snap was being discussed (could have been a thread started by you?) and observed mixed reviews. Six of one half dozen of the other re bugs? Where and how to download and test?

Can the stable version 81.0.4044.138 (Official Build) Built on Ubuntu , running on Ubuntu 18.04 (32-bit) and the snap version be run at the ssame time? Or does a separate user data dir need to be created to avoid conflicts?

A caveat "By default, snap isolation allows camera but not microphone." https://askubuntu.com/a/1222063 ?

Look before leap. Use getUserMedia() and microphone frequently here. What else needs to be adjusted or known to have similar functionality to apt download version? Will snap version allow using Native File System https://github.com/guest271314/captureSystemAudio ?

Olivier Tilloy (osomon) wrote :

That first link (in comment #7) contains incorrect information. Official documentation is at https://snapcraft.io/docs. For the chromium snap, the edge channel contains the dev builds of chromium (so equivalent to ppa:chromium-team/dev).

There are a few known issues with the snap package (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bugs?field.tag=snap), but in general it works well for most users. Bug reports are welcome if you undertake some serious testing (don't forget to state that you're using the snap).

Back to the issue at hand here: I replaced resources.pak from the deb by the one from the edge snap, and devtools work again, so there's something wrong with packing the devtools-frontend resources.

Yes. That will be the case.

Yes, gather something is wrong. Is that a solution or a temporary patch to exclude other potential causation?

Neither a solution nor a temporary patch, this is just me digging into the issue and commenting on my findings along the way. As soon as I have a fix, I will state it here and push new builds to the PPA.

Some progress at last: using the Node.js binary downloaded by the chromium build tools (third_party/node/update_node_binaries) generates a complete devtools_resources.pak, as opposed to using the older, system-wide binary (/usr/bin/node).

This patch (https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~chromium-team/chromium-browser/bionic-dev/view/head:/debian/patches/node-use-system-wide.patch) is what causes the build to use the system-wide version. We could probably use nodejs-mozilla instead, which is at version 12.16.1 in {xenial,bionic}-{security,updates}.
