Magento 2 - The requested class did not generate properly, because the 'generated' directory permission is read-only (Even though folder has 777)

Question

I get "The requested class did not generate properly, because the 'generated' directory permission is read-only" during setup:di:compile even though the folder has 777 permission.

I even tried with sudo, but I get the same error.

Answer 1

Try this command from CLI.

sudo chmod -R 777 var/ generated/

• Black: It is already set as 777, both var and generated.
• Dhiren Vasoya: Does that set properly? or it reset automatically when site is load on frontend?

Answer 2

Try below setps and check.

rm -rf pub/static/frontend/ pub/static/adminhtml/ var/{cache,composer_home,page_cache,view_preprocesseds,di} generated/*

sudo php bin/magento setup:upgrade

sudo php bin/magento setup:di:compile

sudo chmod -R 777 var/ generated/ pub/

Let me know if any query.

THANKS.

Answer 3

1. Remove generated directory with the root user.

   sudo rm -rf generated

2. Then switch to the Web server user (typically, it is www-data)

3. Finally, compile code:

   bin/magento setup:di:compile
