Error: EACCES: permission denied, stat '/root/.cache/Cypress/9.2.0/Cypress/Cypress'

Current behavior

when i run in a docker container
npm run cy:run:git:stg
i got the error:

"An unexpected error occurred while verifying the Cypress executable.

I do not understand why i got this error as i launch the command as root and the permission on the directory are OK

drwxr-xr-x 5 root root      4096 Dec 22 17:46 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root      4096 Dec 22 17:45 ..
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 146347320 Dec 22 17:46 Cypress

Desired behavior

cypress should start as usual

Test code to reproduce

the command in the package json is

    "cy:run:git:stg": "cypress run --config baseUrl=http://localhost:8080 --env apiUrl=https://api... --spec 'cypress/integration/critical/*'",

Cypress Version

9.2.0

Other

No response

@tsaint31 are you running cypress in a cypress provided docker file? If so which are you using? If not how are you building out your docker file? Since this is failing due to access in a docker container it seems like we could get a reproducible example together.

We found the answer to our problem do not know really why but it solve the point.
When we run our docker we run with option -v to Bind mount a volume
docker run -v "$(pwd):/usr/src/app" -v "/usr/src/app/node_modules" -d --name=$CONTAINER_NAME image-test
by just launching
docker run -d --name=$CONTAINER_NAME image-test
it solve the problem

I have the same problem but a little bit different case. I run inside one docker container node.js server that runs cypress tests, when it receives request, by running cli commands. And if I create any volume for such a container I experience this problem, even if volume has no relation to the Cypress part.

My dockerfile:

FROM node:16.13.1-alpine3.13 as server

WORKDIR /app
COPY ./server/package*.json ./
RUN npm install
COPY ./server .

FROM cypress/base:16.13.0
WORKDIR /
COPY --from=server /app /server
COPY ./CypressAutomation /CypressAutomation
WORKDIR /CypressAutomation
RUN npm install
RUN $(npm bin)/cypress install
RUN $(npm bin)/cypress verify

My docker compose file:

version: '3.7'

services:
  server:
    container_name: server
    build:
      context: .
      dockerfile: dev.Dockerfile
    logging:
      options:
        max-size: 10m
    working_dir: /server
    command: npm run start:dev
    environment:
      - ENV=${env}
    volumes:
      - ./server:/server:delegated
    ports:
      - 8080:8080
