Gitpod: Workspace creation fails - sudo: setrlimit(RLIMIT_CORE): Operation not permitted

[ronys]

Describe the bug

Can't create workspace: fails trying to run a local script

Steps to reproduce

https://gitpod.io/#https://github.com/pwsafe/pwsafe/tree/gitpod3

Expected behavior

Workspace should be created successfully.

Additional information

Trying to eliminate some duplicates: Both the gitpod Dockerfile and an existing utility script run apt-get install for the project's dependencies. However, replacing 'sudo apt-get install ..." with an invocation of the script 'sudo sh ./Misc/setup-deb-dev-env.sh" causes the workspace build to fail with:

Hi @ronys,

At the time you're running:

RUN sudo apt-get -q update && sudo sh ./Misc/setup-deb-dev-env.sh && #...

I think there is no such thing as a ./Misc/setup-deb-dev-env.sh in your Docker image.

Here is a Dockerfile that I think should work better:

FROM gitpod/workspace-full-vnc

# Set debconf to noninteractive mode.
RUN echo 'debconf debconf/frontend select Noninteractive' | sudo debconf-set-selections

# Install dependencies.
COPY ./Misc/setup-deb-dev-env.sh /tmp/setup-deb-dev-env.sh
RUN sudo apt-get -q update && \
    sudo sh /tmp/setup-deb-dev-env.sh && \
    sudo apt install -yq cmake-gui && \
    sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* /tmp/setup-deb-dev-env.sh

# Set debconf back to normal.
RUN echo 'debconf debconf/frontend select Dialog' | sudo debconf-set-selections

@jankeromnes - the COPY command you suggest makes sense, but it doesn't work:

.gitpod.Dockerfile is in https://github.com/pwsafe/pwsafe/blob/gitpod3/.gitpod.Dockerfile

Suggestions?

@ronys

--- COPY ./Misc/setup-deb-dev-env.sh /tmp/setup-deb-dev-env.sh
+++ COPY Misc/setup-deb-dev-env.sh /tmp/setup-deb-dev-env.sh

Thanks @Kreyren - that was the missing part!

Where can I see the workspace creation log? I still see some red text, but it's scrolling by way too fast for me to investigate while the workspace is being built.

afaik it's only in the provided window and in browser's console

@jankeromnes may clarify

You can scroll up in the build output view, or Select All + Copy + Paste somewhere else if you prefer that.

FWIW i usually do this or something alike to get logs https://github.com/Kreyren/forkless-pwsafe/blob/01237b1154e3af37e77c9d3a91ed5dd34254c2a9/Makefile#L7

Which provides the required logs on paste service for me to view easily~

Just for the record: The warning

sudo: setrlimit(RLIMIT_CORE): Operation not permitted

has nothing to do with the failure of the workspace creation. This warning is from sudo and can be safely ignored (see https://github.com/sudo-project/sudo/issues/42).

@ronys: Fell free to close this issue when it is solved for you.

[Kreyren]

My fault then! >.<
