Describe the problem/error/question

When I practice this part and execute the node of Read/Write Files From Disk node, it will show " The file “/tmp/poetrydb.json” is not writable." Could anyone can tell me how to find and write correct File Path and Name?

Hey @edenseeker hope all is well.

In the post it says you are running the cloud version of n8n, but I thought the cloud version didn’t have the Read/Write node? Could you clarify?

Hi @jabbson，thanks for your solution.

This workflow does work successfully when I run it in local n8n.

Thanks for your share @moosa. This is exactly the same issue that I encounter.

With your and @jabbson’s help, I found when using n8n cloud version, the file path and name should be “/home/node/.n8n/poetry.json”, but in the n8n local version, it should be “/tmp/poetrydb.json”.

Do you know what causes this differences?
