FastAPI + Selenium WebDriver on Vercel: Cache Folder Read-Only File System Error

I am trying to deploy a FastAPI application with Selenium WebDriver on Vercel. The application works fine locally, but when deployed to Vercel, I encounter a read-only file system error related to the Selenium WebDriver cache folder.

Error Message:

WARNING:selenium.webdriver.common.selenium_manager:Cache folder (/home/sbx_user1051/.cache/selenium) cannot be created: Read-only file system (os error 30)
127.0.0.1 - - [12/Feb/2025 21:42:10] "GET /api/search?q=laptop HTTP/1.1" 500 -

class StoreScraper:
    def __init__(self, store_name):
        self.store_name = store_name
        self.driver = self.setup_driver()

    def setup_driver(self):
        options = EdgeOptions()

        # Headless mode for performance
        options.add_argument("--headless")
        options.add_argument("--disable-gpu")
        options.add_argument("--no-sandbox")
        options.add_argument("--disable-dev-shm-usage")
        options.add_argument("--disable-extensions")
        options.add_argument("--disable-infobars")
        options.add_argument("--disable-browser-side-navigation")
        options.add_argument("--disable-blink-features=AutomationControlled")
        options.add_argument("--disable-popup-blocking")

        # Use a custom user-agent to avoid detection
        options.add_argument(
            "user-agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Edg/109.0.0.0 Safari/537.36"
        )

        # Use the /tmp directory for WebDriver cache and user data
        temp_dir = "/tmp/webdriver"
        os.makedirs(temp_dir, exist_ok=True)
        options.add_argument(f"--user-data-dir={temp_dir}")
        options.add_argument(f"--disk-cache-dir={temp_dir}")

        # Initialize Edge WebDriver (Ensure `msedgedriver` is in PATH)
        service = EdgeService()
        driver = webdriver.Edge(service=service, options=options)
        return driver

    def quit_driver(self):
        if self.driver:
            self.driver.quit()
            self.driver = None

    # Other methods...

What I've Tried:

• Using a temporary directory for the WebDriver cache.
• Setting the cache directory to a temporary directory.

How can I resolve the read-only file system error related to the Selenium WebDriver cache folder when deploying my FastAPI application on Vercel?
