Step function state to execute a Glue job seems to be stalling

Question

Hi - I have a step function set up that invokes a glue job. This happens successfully, and the glue job succeeds in about 30 seconds. The step function state simply stays on `running`, never moving to the next state. I've waited about an hour after the glue job succeeded.  
  
Here is my state for the glue job:  
  
"Glue-Transform": {  
    "Type": "Task",  
    "Resource": "arn:aws:states:::glue:startJobRun.sync",  
    "Parameters": {  
        "JobName": "job-name",  
        "Arguments": {  
            "--argument.$": "$"  
        }  
    },  
    "Catch": \[{  
        "ErrorEquals": \["States.DataLimitExceeded",  
                        "States.Runtime",  
                        "States.Timeout",  
                        "States.TaskFailed",  
                        "States.Permissions"],  
        "ResultPath": "$.Error",  
        "Next": "MapFailed"  
    }],  
    "Catch": \[{  
        "ErrorEquals": \["States.ALL"],  
        "ResultPath": "$.Error",  
        "Next": "MapFailed"  
    }],  
    "End": true  
}  
  
I haven't been able to find documentation on troubleshooting anything related to this, besides this page which only details how to start a simple job, which I believe I am following correctly: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/step-functions/latest/dg/connect-glue.html

Answer

Found my answer here - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56812780/how-to-have-a-python-glue-job-return-when-called-in-step-function  
  
The solution to my actual problem was permissions. You need four permissions when running a startJogRun.sync:  
  
glue:StartJobRun  
glue:GetJobRun  
glue:GetJobRuns  
glue:BatchStopJobRun  
Those are actually the Terraform values, but should help anybody struggling with this.
