Docker-selenium: Running docker chrome node in EC2 Does Not Download Files

[kariasbolster]

I ran a hub and chrome node in EC2. When I ran my download tests, I tried searching for the files that are supposed to be downloaded in my tests, usually the default download path is /home/seluser/Downloads. when i docker exec -it my chrome node and went to the directory mentioned earlier, there is no such directory. Then I ran the find command to see if my file was just in another directory but it cannot find the file. I have tried running my hub and chrome node in my macbook pro and when i run and download tests and searched for the downloaded files in chrome node, the files are in /home/seluser/Downloads. Do you have any idea why its not being downloaded in EC2?

host docker inspect:

"HostConfig": { "Binds": [ "/home/ec2-user/selenium-downloads:/home/seluser/Downloads" ], "ContainerIDFile": "", "LogConfig": { "Type": "json-file", "Config": {} }, "NetworkMode": "default", "PortBindings": {}, "RestartPolicy": { "Name": "no", "MaximumRetryCount": 0 },

is it because the mount propagation is rprivate in ec2 while in my local propagation is empty? if so, how can i change propagation?

  "Mounts": [
            {
                "Source": "/home/ec2-user/selenium-downloads",
                "Destination": "/home/seluser/Downloads",
                "Mode": "",
                "RW": true,
                "Propagation": "rprivate"
            }
        ],

Hi @kariasbolster,
How are you starting the containers in the EC2 instance? Could you share the exact command you are using?

[kariasbolster]

Closing this issue. It was because of folder permission.

@kariasbolster Could you elaborate? I'm having a similar issue. Did you need to set a permission on the docker container itself or the host machine?

[kariasbolster]

@AlexMarchini, i did a chmod to this folder "/home/ec2-user/selenium-downloads" . It was weird why I needed to do it since as you can see from the data above the RW field is true.

@kariasbolster Thanks! Got it working.

For anyone else that runs into this, the exact command I used to set permissions was:
docker-compose exec chrome sudo chmod -R 777 /home/seluser/Downloads
