Artisan tinker: mkdir () permission denied

Question

Laravel Version 5.0.33

> php artisan tinker

  [ErrorException]            
  mkdir(): Permission denied  

This is on a production server, I tried to test the command with tinker as a web user. This user owns each directory in the base path, so I'm not sure which directory is trying to create when I run artisan tinker.

Answer 1

Using very verbose -vvv, I managed to get a stack trace.

Put .psysh.php in the root of the Laravel project with this content

<?php
return [
        'runtimeDir'    => './.psysh',
    ];
