Error when running composer install An error occurred when executing the \“'cache:clear --no-warmup'\” command:

Question

I am trying to boot up a Vagrant machine(with ansible) that is throwing an error when it gets to the task of "composer install". I searched this problem and tried multiple solutions that did not work(explained below).

I believe it has to do with vagrant user not having permission to write to app/cache and app/log even if I change the permission on VM and local. Not sure what the fix would be.

Error:

I am able to clear the cache using both 'php app/console cache:clear' and 'php app/console cache:clear --no-warmup'
I am also able to 'rm -rf app/cache/*' and I have changed the permission on the cache folder 'sudo chmod -R 777 app/cache'
I am using ansible which sets the date.timezone='America/New_York'

Any help would be really appreciated! Thanks!

Are you running composer install locally or on the VM too? — charj
I tried running on both local and VM. I am getting an error [Symfony\Component\Filesystem\Exception\IOException] Failed to remove directory "/var/www/fisher.dev/app/cache/de~/annotations": . — Brian Chen

I found that the issue was with my operating system macOS High Sierra v10.13.1. Currently there is a bug with this os and vagrant which has to do with Vagrant's file sync, NFS and the mapping of files on the macOS.
