Dear Auto-GPT Team,

When I tried to run the following command
python scripts/main.py --debug

I got the following error

Traceback (most recent call last):

PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '../logs'

I would appreciate your help

Kind regards

I'm facing the same error when running it on a dev container in vscode. It's running on a Macbook Pro with M1 if it helps

[yglory]

same experience.
I'm using Dev Container on Windows.

[mahmoudrabie]

I think there is some ongoing development to fix the issue

[DanielSLucas]

Same issue here. (Windows + DevContainer)

As a temporary workaround to do my PoC, I did the following update

As a temporary workaround to do my PoC, I did the following update

Nice and simple, works great.

I did something similar to @mahmoudrabie but instead I am changing the way the path is concatenated:

# create log directory if it doesn't exist
this_files_dir_path = os.path.dirname(__file__)
log_dir = f"{this_files_dir_path}/../logs"
if not os.path.exists(log_dir):
    os.makedirs(log_dir)

I'm running docker container on macOS.
Another workaround I did is edit Dockerfile:

# RUN chown appuser:appuser /home/appuser
RUN chown appuser:appuser /home

Dear @stuszynski

What are the steps to resolve it completely

[stuszynski]

@mahmoudrabie I think it's now resolved by #1199

[mahmoudrabie]

Thanks @stuszynski for your prompt response

So after reverting the workaround change I made above in my already cloned and updated copy, would you please guide me what to do

[ntindle]

Please update your versions
