headless mode attempting to mkdir, needs permissions?

[Brian Cardarella]

When launching Chrome from the CLI if I don't use `--headless` Chrome launches without issue. But if I add `--headless` I get "Permission denied" errors. Chrome appears to be calling `mkdir` on a directory it doesn't have permission to. Chrome was installed through the regular dmg package.

Is there a way to disable the need for Chrome to mkdir in headless? It would be great if I didn't have to chown the entire directory.

➜  MacOS ./Google\ Chrome --headless

I think this is because you're starting Chrome from within the "MacOS" directory. Try cd'ing out of there and launching as Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome.
