Output file is not writeable by PhantomJs

[Gummet]

I'm getting the following when trying to generate a screenshot. The script runs as bitnami, also bitnami is the owner for everything under /htdocs. I've even tested setting all files/folders to 777 just to give it a quick test and see if the file will generate but no luck.

Could I be doing something wrong here that I am not relising?

Here is the class/function that is called to generate the screenshot if it helps at all:

<?php

require __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php';
use JonnyW\PhantomJs\Client;

class MakeChart
{
    public function takeScreenshot()
    {
        $client = Client::getInstance();

        // isLazy() is useful when we want to wait for all resources on the page to load.
        $client->isLazy();

        // Some options
        $client->getEngine()->addOption('--load-images=true');
        $client->getEngine()->addOption('--ignore-ssl-errors=true');

        $vWidth  = 2560;
        $vHeight = 1440;

        $width  = 1910;
        $height = 670;
        $top    = 95;
        $left   = 15;

        // Here specify the page to take the screenshot
        $request  = $client->getMessageFactory()->createCaptureRequest('https://google.com');

        $request->setCaptureDimensions($width, $height, $top, $left);
        $request->setViewportSize($vWidth, $vHeight);
        $request->setBodyStyles(['backgroundColor' => '#ffffff']);

        $file = getcwd() . '/test.jpg';
        $request->setOutputFile($file);

        $response = $client->getMessageFactory()->createResponse();

        // Send the request
        $client->send($request, $response);
    }
}

Getting the same issue as well. I'm not sure how to fix it currently.

Same problem. +1

        $width  = 1920;
        $height = 1080;

        $left   = 0;

        switch($type){
            case "mobile":

        $request  = $client->getMessageFactory()->createCaptureRequest($url);

        $request->setTimeout(5000);
        $request->setViewportSize($width, $height);
        $request->setCaptureDimensions($width, $height, $top, $left);

        $response = $client->getMessageFactory()->createResponse();

        $client->send($request, $response)->getContent();
    }

I know this issue is an old one but I solved the problem by first creating an empty file named file.pdf(in my own case) and it worked fine.
