read-only file system error with capybara and webdrivers gem

With rails 5.1.7 I am getting:

 Errno::EROFS:
       Read-only file system @ dir_s_mkdir - /webdrivers

when trying to execute system test with capybara and the webdrivers gem

Solution

  • The Webdrivers gem needs to be able to download the latest/correct version of driver (chromedriver, geckodriver, etc) to match the browser you're using for testing. You can specify where it downloads those files to using Webdrivers.install_dir as documented at https://github.com/titusfortner/webdrivers#download-location. You'll need to set that to a writable location.
