When checking for update: "Permission denied" #4115
Description
Description
Like said in the thread on Twitter, when I check for an update, it shows an error saying Could not create temporary directory: Permission denied. Then it says, You have the latest version (last checked just now).
Version
GitHub Desktop version: 1.0.9
OS version: macOS High Sierra 10.13.3 (17D47)
Steps to Reproduce
- In the menu, "GitHub Desktop->About GitHub Desktop"
- Click "Check for Updates"
- Error shows up here (
Could not create temporary directory: Permission denied) (Image on Twitter link)
Expected behavior: It should check for an update, find v1.1 and update it
Actual behavior: Error shows up when checking
Reproduces how often: This problem happens every time, and it used to not do this
