I can help you to test, and also can help you to give you an account on the website that I'm trying.

Let me know if I can help.

Thanks!

No need for account info, I set up a test account. Please do post here if you have a chance to test on a different system.

We only have access to one Chromebox :( .

I've done a fresh wipe, put it in Kiosk mode, and selected for it to only run in Kiosk mode.

Just to confirm - Are you trying Klipfolio?

If so, I'll try to set up a blank account with them, it might have to do with IP restrictions.

Tested with a fresh Klipfolio account. No luck.

Will trouble shoot myself here also.

Thanks

Hey Matt,

Speaking to our developers, and totally novice view from myself, but do you need to declare cookies under permissions in your manifest?

@TonyNZ this has been fixed. added persistant storage in v5.2.2: zebradog@16555f6

@kstangel reported still having this issue with LocalStorage and cookies at Bemis.

The commit above added this line: https://github.com/zebradog/kiosk/blob/master/src/js/browser.js#L152 which I believed fixed the issue (documented here: https://developer.chrome.com/apps/tags/webview#partition). @kstangel can you test and confirm that data is not being saved across restarts?

Perhaps changing persist to true on the background.js script would fix the problem: https://github.com/zebradog/kiosk/blob/master/src/manifest.json#L19 (documentation: https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/event_pages#transition)

There's also a known issue on Android, but probably unrelated?

@matt-cook local storage is persistent across restarts of the kiosk application along as chrome does not restart. If chrome closes and restarts between kiosk restarts then local storage is not persistent.

@matt-cook Tried some of your suggests but localstorage and even using indexedDB did not persist data across chrome restarts. I will have to look at an alternative solution since the application has to remember the previous url in case the application crashes (chrome or kiosk) and restarts based on the watchdog.
