Selenium VM: run.py lacks permissions to write out results html

[jaredhirsch]

Ozten's traceback from emailed bug report:

it looks good through a couple screens then when it goes to write to disk it dies.
I'm running as the user 'vagrant'.

This is the output from when it fails:

I was able to run the tests by staying in vagrants's home directory.

I now am running into issues with Selenium's firefox not trusting the SSL cert.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Launch a terminal window from the Selenium VM GUI

2. Do the following:

. /home/vagrant/mozilla-browserid-*/automation-tests/bid_selenium/bin/activate
python -m py.test --destructive --baseurl=http://localhost:8765 --driver=firefox -q /home/vagrant/mozilla-browserid-*/automation-tests/123done/

Expected

Firefox launches and works through the various pages. Tests are green

Actual

123done.org fails render the login button. If you play with Firefox, you'll see it doesn't trust webhead.intcluster.mozilla.com.

Attempted fix - The self-signed cert is for webhead.intcluster.mozilla.com. I also created new certs for *.webhead.intcluster.mozilla.com. This didn't work either.

It's possible that giving selenium -firefoxProfileTemplate=~/.mozilla/firefox/10lsdfjk.default/ would fix the problem, but I don't know how to pass that into the py.test module.
