Permission denied error when running inside node 16 docker container

[jurcyk]

If you have docker installed you can run this command inside your package folder

Command docker run --rm --workdir /app -v ${PWD}:/app -it node:16.13.2-bullseye npx -y -p npm-audit-resolver@3.0.0-6 check-audit --json

Bad Result sh: 1: check-audit: Permission denied

Working command (Older Versions) docker run --rm --workdir /app -v ${PWD}:/app -it node:14.18.2-bullseye npx -p npm-audit-resolver@2.3.1 check-audit --json

Good Result

Looks like something changed in your container image and it wasn't just node version

Try installing as dev dependency and running from npm script.

I won't help you beyond that

This is not my container, this is the official docker node container https://hub.docker.com/_/node

Same issue happens without container

root@d236741f5fcf:/app# npm --version

v16.13.2
root@d236741f5fcf:/app# npx -p npm-audit-resolver@3.0.0-6 check-audit --json
sh: 1: check-audit: Permission denied

Works on older version

It is not a problem with audit-resolver. it says "sh:" before the error.

you don't have exec permissions to npm's bin folder. it's a system config problem.

This is caused by running as root in node16 Adding a user parameter to the command fixes the issue docker run --rm -it --user node --workdir /app -v $(PWD):/app node:16.13.2-bullseye npx -y -p npm-audit-resolver@3.0.0-6 check-audit --json Great for CI/CD environments that only have docker installed and not nodejs
