Sails Js permissions

Question

I got a sailsjs app on a debian server. My only user is root, I installed everything in root (npm install, npm install sails -g, npm install pm2 -g). When I try to deploy it with my root user (sails lift --prod), I got permissions errors :

Grunt :: Running "clean:dev" (clean) task
Grunt :: Cleaning .tmp/public...
Grunt :: Warning: Cannot delete files outside the current working directory. 
** Grunt :: An error occurred. **
error: 
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aborted due to warnings.
Running "clean:dev" (clean) task
Cleaning .tmp/public...Warning: Cannot delete files outside the current working directory. 
------------------------------------------------------------------------

I checked permissions for every folder, they are all owned by root.

Anyone got that problem ?

Thank you very much

Answer 1

Looks like, you updated your Node.Try to delete .tmp folder Also edit tasks/config/clean.js:

  grunt.config.set('clean', {
    options: { force: true },
    dev: ['.tmp/public/**'],
    build: ['www']
  });

Answer 2

You can add options: { force: true } option to Grunt task
Also, can you provide full Gruntfile?
