Hi @DanielChuDC, thanks for the report!

Is there a reason why sudo is used? I'm not familiar with this specific environment but in most, it's generally not recommended to run Node.js or NPM with sudo privileges unless necessary,

Could you try without sudo?

[DanielChuDC]

@achrinza I tried with no sudo too. then to prevent there is permission issue, then I added sudo. The problem persist.

@DanielChuDC
I have heard mumbles about Vagrant and filesystems in the past... Could you try mkdir test-folder to confirm permissions?

@DanielChuDC ,

Actually, can you please more details:

1. What OS you are on
2. What Vagrant version you are using
3. Is it a community vagrant file or custom made vagrant file

Thx

:)

[DanielChuDC]

@dougal83 @emonddr Thank you for your reply.
@dougal83 I tried mkdir test-folder and it works.

@emonddr The informatino below
MacOS Catalina 10.15.3
Vagrant version Installed Version: 2.2.6
I custom made vagrant file based on generic/rhel8.

I will upload the file soon

OK, not permission issue directly then, but unfortunately I avoid macOS like the plague so I cannot help further myself. 🤷‍♂

Hi @emonddr and @dougal83 ,

I made a branch in my project for testing this issue.

Feel free to clone this project, checkout branch loopback-cli-generate

Fulfill the prerequisite and vagrant up
