Error: EROFS: read-only file system [MAC]

I have an npm project in location:

~/dev/project

npm run build runs this script 'sh devDependencies/runbuild.sh'. Location of the script is here ~/dev/projectdevDependencies/runbuild.sh. I’m running the script in ~/dev/project.

runbuild.sh contents:

echo creating build/ folder
mkdir -m 0777 build 

echo copy /js/
cp -R js build/
chmod 0777 -R build/js

echo [changing rights] index.js
chmod 0777 build/js/index.js
    
browserify build/js/index.js -o /build/js/build.js

I get an error:

ls -l:

-rw-r--r--  1 sander  wheel  218175 Mar  9 14:28 bundle.js
-rw-r--r--  1 sander  wheel    7869 Mar  9 14:28 index.js

There are read and write access?

I have tried running the script in /tmp folder which gives the same result.

I have tried running as sudo which also gives same result.

I don’t think I should run this command csrutil disable because that would be too extreme.

Where should I put my project so that I don’t have this issue?

Method 1

The problem is with this line:

browserify build/js/index.js -o /build/js/build.js

You should not have -o /build/js/, because that points to entirely different place than build/js/.
