"Cannot mkdir in a snapshot. Try mount points instead."

[jakobrosenberg]

How do I try a mount point?

[dikaso]

Same problem here. What are mountpoints?

[dikaso]

This will happen if you have something like this:

const logDir = 'app/logs';

 if ( !fs.existsSync( logDir ) ) {
       // Create the directory if it does not exist
       fs.mkdirSync( logDir );
}

You could create app/logs so it always exists and add it to pacakge.json:

...
"pkg": {
    "assets": [
      "app/logs/**"
    ]
  },
...

What is the best way to support creating directories dynamically? Is it possible to mkdir in one of the assets/mountpoint folders?

[maxpavlov]

Relevant question. Completely unclear how to mkdir while executing packed.

Same problem, any solution?

[risharde]

Same thing on my side - had great hopes for this, highly disappointed at the moment by this error

[JackGou1029]

I solved this problem by using process.cwd() to get your pkg execute path, which you can use this to create new dir. Because pkg use snapshot filesystem, orign __dirname, __filename were hijacked.. see README Snapshot filesystem part..

Any suggestion to fix this issue???

In case anyone comes across this. I was having an issue using "winston" to log my files. I was using filename: path.join(__dirname, "./logs/error.log") What solved it for me, was to change it to filename: path.join(process.cwd(), "./logs/error.log") If you console log both __dirname and process.cwd() in a working executable package (make a simple project and test it), you will see why. Good luck!
