macos-latest: could not set permissions on '/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user' to 755
See original GitHub issueWe are getting this error intermittently on the Invoking Nix Build step on macos-latest:
/nix/var/nix/profiles/default/bin/nix-build ci.nix
error: could not set permissions on '/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user' to 755: Operation not permitted
##[error]Action failed with error: Error: The process '/nix/var/nix/profiles/default/bin/nix-build' failed with exit code 1
This action is running after cachix/install-nix-action@v6, and I suspect an eventual fix is there, but it manifests in this action.
I haven’t recognized a pattern yet, other than this happening ~50% of the time on macos-latest and so far not at all on ubuntu-latest.

Will fix this in a couple of days.
I think the fix is to finally figure out how to wait for nix-daemon socket on macos.
