Bug Description

Describe the bug

I have made a Dockerfile with Node 16.6.2 and when I run cspell (cspell 'src/**/*.md') the below error is written to the console. The spellcheck is still performed, so this is more of a nuisance than anything else. I do have a cspell.json file in the directory from which I am running cspell.

> cspell 'src/**/*.md'

Error: EACCES: permission denied, open '/root/.config/configstore/cspell.json'

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

I have a repository with the setup: https://github.com/pingvinen/cspell-eaccess-in-docker-container-issue

1. Create Dockerfile with node and cspell that can be run with docker-compose
2. Trigger the cspell command either by entering the container by running /bin/sh or by triggered the npm script directly
3. See error

Expected behavior

I would not expect it to complain, as there is a config file (cspell.json) in the same directory that I am running cspell from. When I try this exact same setup outside of the docker container (using the same cspell and node versions), cspell runs without that issue and I do not have a ~/.config/configstore/cspell.json file, so it is clearly not required to make the software work.

Additional context

Nothing further to add.

cspell.json

This is also available in the example repository mentioned above, but here is a copy as well:

    "language": "en",
    "allowCompoundWords": true,
    "words": [
        "OWASP",
        "frontends",
        "backends",
        "hotspot",
        "tika",
        "modelmapper",

Excellent report!

[Jason3S]

I checked the code, it only logs the message it got from configstore, but it doesn't prevent the spell checker from running.

I put up a fix to clean up the log in #1512

Thank you :)
