Permission denied writing output file

[orlade-anz]

We're using vsce-action@master to publish https://github.com/anz-bank/vscode-sysl, and it was working fine until today. Success a week ago, new failure today. This appears to coincide with the 3.0 release, and although we changed a lot none of it was related to the build/publish flow.

One difference I noted was the apparent removal of a directory argument to yarn:

Success (note the /github/workspace on line 1):

> [email protected] esbuild-base /github/workspace
> esbuild ./extension/main.ts --bundle --outfile=out/main.js --external:vscode --external:electron --format=cjs --platform=node "--minify"


  out/main.js  817.5kb

Done in 179.62s.

Error:

> [email protected] esbuild-base
> esbuild ./extension/main.ts --bundle --outfile=out/main.js --external:vscode --external:electron --format=cjs --platform=node "--minify"

 > error: Failed to write to output file: open /github/workspace/out/main.js: permission denied


  out/main.js  825.4kb

error Command failed with exit code 1.

So as of today's update, the underlying docker container is now based on node:16-slim. If possible, I'd say check if you can run your esbuild-base command in a node:16-slim container locally on your own machine / a VM. If that passes it may be a GH Actions runner permissions issue, otherwise if it doesn't run properly, then it's an esbuild issue.

Had this issue with publishing https://github.com/monotykamary/vscode-aql running on lannonbr/[email protected] which still uses node:10-slim. Upgrading to 3.0.0 seems to run just fine.
