permission denied in test folder

Running the test locally with Docker is giving me a permission denied error when trying to write .snakemake

I have no name!@f2f073222e65:/opt/lcdb/test$ snakemake
Traceback (most recent call last):

Maybe an OSX uid/gid thing?

Yep looks like a common issue:
For Example

Found if I just set uid:gid to 1000 it all seems to work.

docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/opt/lcdb -u 1000:1000 daler/smklo /bin/bash travis-test.sh

Unless you know a better way??

Nope, I only learned of the -u thing recently. I would either accept that I would have to chmod everything, or checkout a repo into /tmp and delete it later.

I think there's a lot of room for simplifying/wrapping/improving how the tests are run locally.
