New install. Unable to create a project
az-z opened this issue · 8 comments
Hello,
the following seemed to be a new behavior since I last used (installed) TS ~6 months ago.
New install on Fedora 37 with aws cli and terraform ( latest, OS updated daily)
Install is done using rpm from bolt's rpm repo.
as a user, new project:
(base) [az@fedora WWWPRIV-65-iac-vm]$ terraspace new project SoPro --plugin aws --examples --config --test
=> Creating new project called SoPro
create SoPro
create SoPro/.gitignore
create SoPro/Gemfile
create SoPro/README.md
create SoPro/Terrafile
create SoPro/config/app.rb

Your user account isn't allowed to install to the system RubyGems.
You can cancel this installation and run:
bundle config set --local path 'vendor/bundle'
bundle install
to install the gems into ./vendor/bundle/, or you can enter your password
and install the bundled gems to RubyGems using sudo.

I'm not sure why there is a need to install anything into /opt. But, if that is a requirement for creating a new project level ( read "default" ) work item, then that should be specified as rpm dependency and probably installed during ts rpm install too.
Current state:
blocked on the work, since rubygem requirements are not covered in the documentation and I'm not familiar with ruby.
🤔 This might be a clue
Following files may not be writable, so sudo is needed
This is probably/might be system specific, though and more of a question. Maybe at some point some other files were installed with different root level permissions in /opt/terrasace. maybe with some other command. Just a guess 👌 There seems to be something about permissions though.
I'm not sure why there is a need to install anything into /opt
The standalone installers use https://github.com/chef/omnibus to create the installer package. Omnibus installs things into the /opt folder and vendorizes everything including a ruby interpreter. So both the ruby interpreter and gems are installed into the /opt folder. The bundle install that is ran as part of terraspace new project is just installing gems and having some permissions issues.
FWIW, the aws cli similarly vendorizes the python interpreter but believe AWS uses their own custom packaging tool.
Mabe try to fix the permissions and then try again:
sudo chown `whoami`:`whoami` /opt/terraspace
After fixing the permissions with chown, you can also try cd into the folder and running bundler install directly.
cd SoPro
bundle install
However, if upgrading terraspace, actually recommend using bundler. Found it's more than about just updating terraspace but the other gems/libraries could require updating also. Here's the docs that cover this:
I'm not familiar with ruby.
Hope that the permissions fixes things above. If not, you might have to use gem installer. This may help if you end up having to go that route:
in addition:
the rpm uninstall section needs updating since it does not remove installed wrappers properly:
Removed:
terraspace-2.2.3-1.amazon2.x86_64
Complete!

Yes. This is noted in https://terraspace.cloud/docs/install/standalone/details/uninstall/

This is interesting. on my other Fedora 35 the ts was installed ( on 2022 10 08) into /usr/local/bin . Worked perfectly fine.
// over the weekend i upgraded the system to latest 37, so i can't say if it works now.
Either way, the root -> dnf (aka yum) install is the only way i 've been installing the software.
If I have to change the permissions on the /opt/terraspace - there should be a note in the doc, no ?
Yes. This is noted in https://terraspace.cloud/docs/install/standalone/details/permissions/
I wish I didn't upgrade F35.
But on the upgraded system the permissions on /opt/terraspace is 754.
I uninstalled the rpm and installed gem with ruby-dev ( this is something you probably want to add to the doc), so that i can proceed with gem install.
the subsequent "terraspace new project" failed again with multiple errors, such as:
Bundler::PermissionError: There was an error while trying to write to `/usr/share/gems/cache/aws-sdk-dynamodb-1.80.0.gem`. It is likely that you need to
grant write permissions for that path.
in addition, the /opt does not have terrspace subdir.
Please reopen the issue - if this fails on me, I'm sure a lot of folks will have the same problem.
on the upgraded system "terraspace new project tada" fails now too.
From the end-user perspective - this version is broken. :(
