Selenium Webdriver(Python): Firefox gives Permission denied: 'geckodriver.log'

veryangryman

So i keep getting this permissions error when initialising. Sounds simple enough, no permission to write wherever the directory is for the log.

 log_file = open(log_path, "a+") if log_path is not None and log_path != "" else None
PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'geckodriver.log'

So i tried doing chmod 777 on the directory and specifying it, hardcoding below at initializing stage

if browser == 'firefox':
        return webdriver.Firefox(
            executable_FIREFOXDRIVER_PATH,
            log_path='./geckodriver.log')

But still i get the error. Anyone seen before?

Need permission on parent folders as well, at least +x on all.
