Function FixFilePermission

utils/permissions_unix.go:307–324

FixFilePermission attempts to fix permission issues on a specific file by changing ownership. This is called when a file operation (read or write) fails due to permission issues, typically because the file is owned by root from an older sudo-based keploy version.

// This is called when a file operation (read or write) fails due to permission issues,

	if err != nil {

		return fmt.Errorf("failed to change ownership of %s: %w. Please run manually: sudo chown %s %s", filePath, err, currentUser.Username, filePath)

// EnsureKeployFolderPermissions checks and fixes permission issues (both read and write) on the keploy folder.
// This should be called once at startup before any file operations to ensure all files
