Permission denied when pushing code

[Travis Hoffman]

I just installed Eclipse et al on another laptop and used some old version of my code that worked prior to this problem, and the permission denied error occurred on deploy exactly as before.

Still hoping for some good ideas here from the community!

This popped for us today, any ideas?

I just got ours to work...but I don't really know what I did.

I reflashed firmware and reimaged the roboRIO multiple times using our driver station Classmate and my programming laptop. No dice.

I swapped the roboRIO with another one - no dice. Same problem.

I got a completely different laptop, updated the WPI plugins, tried to deploy, no dice.

I used the same laptop to reflash and reimage the roboRIO. I deleted the project from the workspace, then reimported it and rebuilt. At this point, it downloaded. I am not even sure that action contributed to the fix.

Anyone experiencing problems, please cross-post details to the FIRST Forums thread here - http://forums.usfirst.org/showthread...-During-Deploy.

Time to make it loud.

If you're familiar with Linux, could you try ssh-ing to the roboRIO as lvuser and check the permissions and ownership of files in the lvuser home directory and look for anything not owned by lvuser. It seems like somehow something is getting messed up, maybe a a download failing part way through or something.

If not, I would expect that reimaging and being sure to check the reformat box in the imaging tool would get you back. If you do that, be sure to reinstall Java if that's the language you're using.

This partially worked for me. This exact placement did not resolve the Permission Denied, but moving the line to a diff spot in the .xml worked great.

BTW, for others: this .xml for me is in wpilib/cpp/current/ant

Many thanks for posting this fix.

I am now getting the Permission Denied feature when trying to deploy. Started today after I allowed eclipse to upgrade from 4.5.1.20150917-1200 to 4.5.1.20160218-0600.

I Tried "reverting" back in Eclipse.

I tried using FileZilla to allow all permissions to home/lvuser. My changes did not seem to stick.

I tried changing changing build.xml that is ..wpilib\cpp\current\ant adding:

<sshexec host="${target}" command="chmod 777 /home/lvuser" failonerror="false" trust="true" password="${password}" username="admin"/>

at random locations.

I tried updating the firmware in the roboRio.

I did not feel comfortable that I did any of the above steps correctly, but I am still unable to deploy code.

I will try deploying with another computer this afternoon.

You may have to ssh to your roboRio first and issue the "chmod 777 /home/lvuser" to give permission to the folder, then run the modified build.xml. . After issuing the command you can do

ls -l /home/lvuser

and see if the permissions are "drwxrwxrwx" to see if your changes take.

Do you need step-by-step instructions on how to ssh to it? I use putty, a ssh client.

After doing that, try deploying again. Post the entire contents of your build log here.

Do you see se the extra chmod command in your build log?


Add exactly this (cut and paste)

<sshexec host="${target}"
username="admin"
password="${password}"
trust="true"
failonerror="false"
command="chmod 777 /home/lvuser"/>

Above the line
<scp file="${wpilib.ant.dir}/robotCommand" todir="${username}@${target}:/home/lvuser/" password="${password}" trust="true"/>

Thanx Brian,

When I had previously tried to set permissions with filezilla, I had logged on as lvuser. It probably did not the right privileges. Logged on as admin and the permission changes stuck.

Added your "chmod 777" to build.xml and voila.

You will be receiving good karma credits.

I THINK THIS IS KEY. The computer that works and deploys code has MARS.1 installed (4.5.1.20150917-1200). The computer that started flaking out and throwing permission denied errors has MARS.2 (4.5.1.20160218-0600), which I installed shortly prior to this problem occurring.

I will use the build.xml hack in an emergency, but I hope the developers investigate this potential blar with Eclipse developers.

We're seeing this same issue here at 116. I wiped out the updated Mars.1 eclipse and installed Mars.2 with the exact same results -- permission denied. I still have the original Mars.1 install package. I'll try that, but I suspect that it will work until the update rolls in.

I did put on updates and after that the error occurred. I thought it was just WPI plugins, but it looks like at some point between Feb 13 and Feb 29, the update also updated Eclipse to 4.5.2 4.5.2.20160218-0600

I'm having the same problem. Everything worked previously when I had Mars 1 installed. Now I have Mars 2 and I can't deploy code. I can't actually say if that is the problem though.
I used PuTTY to ssh into the roboRIO, and I used the chmod command as explained on these threads. I then tried to deploy code - without resetting anything, but I got the error
..\wpilib.cpp\current\ant\buil.xml:78: server indicted an error: scp: /home/lvuser//robotCommand: Permission denied .

the results of the ls -lah /home/lvuser/ command show

I will try making the changes to the build.xml file, but I was expecting this to work at least the first time

I am so lost. Please help

[SuperBK]

log in with putty and issue the chmod 777 /home/lvuser/ command again. Then make the change to the build.xml file before trying to deploy code.

Add
<sshexec host="${target}"
username="admin"
password="${password}"
trust="true"
failonerror="false"
command="chmod 777 /home/lvuser"/>


right before this line:
<scp file="${wpilib.ant.dir}/robotCommand" todir="${username}@${target}:/home/lvuser/" password="${password}" trust="true"/>

OK, so based on the inputs from several on this thread, I've created a new build.xml that solves all of the permission problems and successfully deploys code from within Eclipse. I've attached it to this post.

Simply, copy the build.xml.txt file to:

c:\Users\<username>\wpilib\cpp\current\ant\build.x ml

(Make sure to substitute your user name and it should be build.xml -- for some reason the formatting is inserting what looks like a space between the x and the ml)

And the deploy will start working again. This does 2 chmods and that seems to correct the problem until Brad & Co. can find the real fix.

HTH,
