Describe the problem/error/question
I try to save some data in local file, it’s a very simple process.
”code in javascript” → convert to file > Read/write file from Disk, and it works in old version like 1.120.0, but when i upgrade to 2.0, when i execute the workflow, it failed, says that the file is not writable.
What is the error message (if any)?
and this is my config piece of docker-compose.yml

and i have both directories in local environment and docker
