We are getting "EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/root/.config/Cypress/cy/production" error message in Jenkins console.

I am integrating cypress tests with Jenkins pipeline. I have used cypress/included:8.5.0 docker image
We are running jenkins as non-root as we dont have access for root.

But we are getting following exception on Jenkins Console -

A JavaScript error occurred in the main process
Uncaught Exception:
Error: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/root/.config/Cypress/cy/production'
at Object.mkdirSync (fs.js:987:3)
at Object.mkdirsSync (/root/.cache/Cypress/8.5.0/Cypress/resources/app/packages/server/node_modules/fs-extra/lib/mkdirs/mkdirs-sync.js:31:9)

Please help me resolve this issue.

There is lots of resources about this, take a look:

• Permission denied on mkdir .../cypress/dist when installing globally cypress-docker-images#42
• Cypress trying to write to /root #8283

I'm guessing it'll depend on your setup. I don't think this is a Cypress specific issue, but just a configuration issue (maybe solve via chmod, maybe something else...), so I'm not sure how much more I'll be able to help.
