Description

When deploying a framework I encountered the error message 'could not chown work directory'.

It took me a while to figure out that this happened because my framework was registered as a user on my host machine which did not exist on the Docker container and the agent was running as root.

I suggest to clarify this message by pointing out to either set --switch-user to false or to run the framework as the same user as the agent.
