Solutions

1. Ensure the cache directory tree is writable by the current user.
2. Set LAST30DAYS_CACHE_DIR to a writable location and retry.

When it happens

Trigger: Fires when the engine cannot create the parent directory of a file it is about to write into the cache, usually due to unwritable cache-root permissions.

Common situations: See trigger scenarios.
