[4.x]: compiled_templates doesn’t respect defaultDirMode

[vandres]

What happened?

Description

We are running Craft on a server, where apache is not a real user and every actual user is in the same group with apache. That are users for SFTP and running cronjobs. We had some weird issues with mutex locks, which were not accessable and cache directories, which could not be created.

In the general config we set dir and file mode to include group writing rights.

    ->defaultDirMode(0775)
    ->defaultFileMode(0664)

But on the server, not every directory is created with the correct mode. On the screenshot you can see, that "nocache" is created correctly, but all the other directories are just 0755.

Steps to reproduce

1. set defaultDirMode
2. enable template caching
3. look at the mode of the created directories

Expected behavior

defaultDirModeis respected for all Craft created directories

Actual behavior

defaultDirMode is not respected everywhere

Hi, thanks for reaching out. The directories and files inside the compiled_templates directories are created by Twig’s FilesystemCache, not by Craft itself which is why the defaultDirMode is not respected there.

The compiled_templates itself is created by Craft, so the defaultDirMode for it is respected.

Same with the nocache directory, it’s created via Craft’s FileHelper::createDirectory() (https://github.com/ttempleton/craft-nocache/blob/main/src/Service.php#L35), which means the defaultDirMode is respected.

That being said, we’ll discuss this internally.

@i-just Thanks for the quick reply. Is there any way to configure Twig within Craft to use that file mode?

[i-just]

I’m not sure. I couldn’t see an option to do that easily. That’s why I want to discuss this internally. I’ll let you know once I have more info.

Currently FilesystemCache doesn’t make the dir/file modes configurable. I’ve just opened a feature request to change that: twigphp/Twig#3827

If it gets implemented, we’ll definitely start taking advantage of it, and I’ll update this issue.
