Here's my minimal example:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import time
import sys
from selenium import webdriver
options = webdriver.chrome.options.Options()
if '--headless' in sys.argv:
options.add_argument("headless")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)
driver.get("https://ubuntu.com";)
time.sleep(1)
print(driver.current_url)
driver.quit()
I can run python3 ex.py --headless, and it works (prints https://ubuntu.com
after 10 seconds).
I can run it without --headless and I get
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: Chrome
failed to start: exited abnormally.
(unknown error: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist)
(The process started from chrome location
/snap/chromium/current/command-chromium.wrapper is no longer running, so
ChromeDriver is assuming that Chrome has crashed.)

Title:
chromedriver doesn't work with the snap package, without --headless
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Since I upgraded my Ubuntu 19.04 laptop to Ubuntu 19.10 I've been
unable to run Robot Framework tests using SeleniumLibrary with Chrome.
I keep getting errors from chromedriver:
Parent suite setup failed:
WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: Chrome failed to start: exited
abnormally.
(unknown error: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist)
(The process started from chrome location
/snap/chromium/current/command-chromium.wrapper is no longer running, so
ChromeDriver is assuming that Chrome has crashed.)
Things work somewhat better when I ask chromium to run in headless mode,
although I still get weird failures partway through the test suite (I think on
the first test that uses Select Window): TimeoutException: Message: timeout:
Timed out receiving message from renderer: 300.000.
It would be easier to debug this if I could _see_ what the browser is
doing, which brings us back to the original problem: non-headless
chromium doesn't work in 19.10.
