Error "chmod(): No such file or directory" randomly
We have a live stie on Laravel 8 and we see randomly on the logs below error:
chmod(): No such file or directory {"exception":"[object] (ErrorException(code: 0): chmod(): No such file or directory at /var/www/html/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Filesystem/Filesystem.php:265)
As I see the current line on Filesystem.php is return chmod($path, $mode); so the $path doesn't exist.
How we can check what is causing this error and how to fix it, because from the stacktrace there isn't much info.
This error occurs when the file or directory that is being referenced in the chmod() function does not exist. To fix this error, you need to check if the file or directory exists before calling the chmod() function.
You can use the file_exists() function to check if the file or directory exists. Here's an example:
if (file_exists($path)) {
chmod($path, $mode);
} else {
// handle the error
}
In this example, we first check if the file or directory exists using the file_exists() function. If it exists, we call the chmod() function with the correct parameters. If it doesn't exist, we can handle the error appropriately.
You can add this check to the Filesystem.php file at line 265 to fix the error.
@ToroLoco I would check your projects code for anything that interacts with the FileSystem class.
Somewhere in the code you tell it to create a file and it probably tries to chmod, it could be that you use some kind of package that does it. The stack trace should be able to tell you from where it is called.
