Core as Cloud9 Instance - Problem with v2.x

Question

Hello,  
  
I am working through the Getting Started tutorial, except I am using a Cloud 9 instance rather than a Rasberry Pi as my GGCore. I can attach the recipe and artifacts just fine, but when attempting to run artifacts/com.example.HelloWorld/1.0.0/hello_world.py, it comes up with a permissions error. When looking at com.example.HelloWorld.log, I view the following error:  
  
2020-12-18T17:26:38.435Z \[WARN] (Copier) com.example.HelloWorld: stderr. Sorry, user root is not allowed to execute '/bin/sh -c python3 /greengrass/v2/packages/artifacts/com.example.HelloWorld/1.0.0/hello_world.py 'world'. {scriptName=services.com.example.HelloWorld.lifecycle.Run, serviceName=com.example.HelloWorld, currentState=RUNNING}  
  
I also see this error on greengrass.log:  
  
2020-12-18T17:27:09.606Z \[ERROR] (com.example.HelloWorld-lifecycle) com.aws.greengrass.lifecyclemanager.GenericExternalService: service-broken. service is broken. Deployment is needed. {serviceName=com.example.HelloWorld, currentState=BROKEN}  
2020-12-18T17:27:09.619Z \[INFO] (Thread-5) software.amazon.awssdk.eventstreamrpc.RpcServer: Server connection closed code \[socket is closed.]: \[Id 29, Class ServerConnection, Refs 1](2020-12-18T17:27:09.436Z) - . {}  
  
How can this be fixed?

Hi, I tried Greengrass v2 on cloud 9 and here's what worked for me: I made sure that my etc/sudoers file had root with ALL:ALL permissions, as it says in the requirements:  . I installed greengrass in the root directory so as to not have permissions issues with ec2-user directory. I changed the permissions on the greengrass folder to chmod 755, because I saw in a github commit that they needed to be 755 instead of what they are now. Then it worked for me, running on the greengrass core.

Hi rakibk,  
  
Thanks for using Greengrass!   
  
I have a few questions about your setup.  
1. Did you specify `--component-default-user ggc_user:ggc_group` in the installer command? Did you change the posix user of the HelloWorld component?  
1. Can you check the permission of file `/greengrass/v2/packages/artifacts/com.example.HelloWorld/1.0.0/hello_world.py`?  
1. Are you able to run `sudo -u ggc_user echo hello` on the Cloud9 instance?

Answer

Hello!  
  
1. Yes I put that exact command as stated in the tutorial process. I did not change the ggc_user:ggc_group  
2. This the permissions I get for the file that you specified:  
  
-rwxr-xr-- 1 ggc_user ggc_group 277 Dec 18 20:16 hello_world.py  
  
2. Yes, it outputs 'hello' without issue
