Bug description:
[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.
One webcontainer example to use is
