Some versions of docker, when passed the
--volume
flag, will createthe directory as root before launching the container, which caused
make render-docs
to fail with a permissions issue like the following:Exception occurred:
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/os.py", line 221, in makedirs
mkdir(name, mode)
PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/src/Documentation/_build/doctrees'
Fix it by creating the directory as the current user first.
Fixes: #10869
