@oliversalzburg commented on GitHub (Jun 3, 2022):

In another project, the process will fail at yarn install, because it can't write files in the working directory:

| Internal Error: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/home/oliver/projects/plantdb/.yarn/cache'
| Error: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/home/oliver/projects/plantdb/.yarn/cache'

All of this is very unexpected, because even running act with sudo does not change this behavior.
