Current behavior

When running Cypress tests with this docker image, an error is received that the directory is not writable and Cypress requires access to this directory in order to store screenshots and videos. See attached for full error.

Debug logs

#!/bin/bash
set +x

echo "Chrome"
docker run -i -v $PWD:/wax-ui-tests -w /wax-ui-tests -u node cypress/included:7.4.0 --browser chrome --record --key=XXXX

echo "Firefox"
docker run -i -v $PWD:/wax-ui-tests -w /wax-ui-tests -u node cypress/included:5.6.0 --browser firefox --record --key=XXXX

Results in:

Folder /wax-ui-tests is not writable.

Writing to this directory is required by Cypress in order to store screenshots and videos.

Enable write permissions to this directory to ensure screenshots and videos are stored.

If you don't require screenshots or videos to be stored you can safely ignore this warning.

Potentially related:

• Cypress cannot write to the cache directory due to file permissions in Bitbucket pipeline #15025
• Running on jenkins results in permission denied creating directory cypress-docker-images#62

This issue has not had any activity in 180 days. Cypress evolves quickly and the reported behavior should be tested on the latest version of Cypress to verify the behavior is still occurring. It will be closed in 14 days if no updates are provided.
