Android chrome won't pick command line flags from /data/local/chrome-command-line

[goe...@umich.edu]

I have some runtime flags like "--no-first-run --ignore-certificate-errors" inside a file /data/local/chrome-command-line. 
The file contents look like:

chrome --ignore-certificate-errors

chrome --no-first-run

I have also enabled the chrome application's storage permission on my rooted Pixel 2. 
However when I verify the flags using chrome://version, it doesn't read those flags. 

Been fiddling with this for over 2 days now and any help will be sincerely appreciated.

Isn't it /data/local/tmp/chrome-command-line?

As per their source code, it reads from both the files. 
And I tried both of them, still doesn't work. 
Wondering if there is any way to figure out what's going wrong?
Any specific file permission settings for the chrome-command-line , or user:group ownership changes?

Try installing with build/android/adb_install_apk.py - it assigns several useful permissions during the process.

Perhaps you've tried this as well, but I think the format for the file should be:

chrome --ignore-certificate-errors --no-first-run

(both on the same line). For non-debug builds, I believe we only check /data/local/chrome-command-line.

Yes this is the correct format. Remember to fix the files permissions also.
