How to resolve permission denied @ rb_sysopen

Question

I am writing a simple recipe to create a file:

file '/myfile' do
  content 'Welcome to Technical Guftgu'
  action :create
end

But on chef-client -zr "recipe[test::recipe1]" I am getting the the following error:

[2022-03-08T10:54:16+00:00] ERROR: Running exception handlers

Answer 1

It seems that your app does not have access to the file /myfile.

Try this, to allow access to all: sudo chmod a+rw /myfile
