[uSync Complete Exporter] - System.IO.IOException - Read-only file system : '/Views

[danielhursan]

Describe the bug
uSync Exporter permission issue on export Views.
Curious is this does not occur when doing Snapshots (the snapshot is created correctly, including Views folder and partial). This only happens for Exporter

Version (please complete the following information):

• Umbraco Version: 12.3.0
• uSync Version 12.2.1.1
• uSync.Complete Version 12.2.1.1

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior (macOS 14):

1. Go to uSync Export, select each item you want (including views!)
2. Click on Export
3. Open Console
4. See error

Hi,

The error does seem to imply that you file system is readonly ?

I thought maybe i could recreate this by including duplicates, but that doesn't actually cause an issue

when building the export pack, uSync will write to the temp folder (default is Umbraco/data/temp/uSync/, but it can be in other locations based on settings).

• If that location is read only then maybe that causes an issue ?
• Maybe the account the site is running under doesn't have permissions for the temp folder ?

I'm also having this issue on MacOS 14. @danielhursan did you find a solution at all? permissions look ok.
