Hello,

I can't execute the step

$ ade start --update --enter

from Autoware.auto installation guide, most likely because my homedir isn't in /home/$USER but in /net/home/$USER.

The command gave the following error:

<user>@python:~/AutowareAuto$ ade start --update --enter

cp: cannot create regular file '/home/<user>/.bash_logout': Permission denied
ERROR: Failed to start ade. To debug use, ``ade start -- --env DEBUG=1``.

The command ade start -- --env DEBUG=1 didn't give much more information except for the fact that cp -a /etc/skel/.bash_logout /home/<user>/.bash_logout was the bash command which caused the error.

With a symlink /home/<user> to /net/home/<user>/ the issue remained.

I tried running chmod a+w /net/home/<user> (the symkink has lrwxrwxrwx rights) but the issue remains.

The installation guide of Autoware.auto advises to

See the ade --help output for more information about using environment variables to define the configuration.

But said output was simply:

Usage: ade [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

  ADE Development Environment.

Options:
  --version
  --rc PATH  Specify a different ADE configuration file. The file should be in
             adehome or its subdirectories.  [default: .aderc]
  --help     Show this message and exit.

Commands:
  enter       Enter environment, running optional command.
  load        Load images from DIRECTORY.
  save        Save configuration and images of running ADE into DIRECTORY.
  start       Start environment from within ADE project.
  stop        Stop ade environment.
  update-cli  Update ade command-line interface.

It looks like this is a confirmed bug. Can you please create an issue at https://gitlab.com/autowarefoundation... Some testing will be required to fix it but I think just replacing /home/$USER with $HOME in entrypoint and building a new ade image should fix it.

Your error seems to be happening in AutowareAuto/tools/ade_image/entrypoint. If you edit the part that says /home/$USER to /net/home/$USER, I think it will start successfully.

I already tried this and unfortunately it doesn't work. I think it is because ADE uses Docker images that it pulls from gitlab and not locally built Docker images. For what it's worth, I also tried to build the Dockerfile in Autoware/tools/ade_image to try to use but I had an error:

Step 12/31 : COPY ros-deps /tmp/
COPY failed: stat /var/lib/docker/tmp/docker-builder723353107/ros-deps: no such file or directory

It seems to me that ros-deps should be available in the directory ade_image but it isn't and as far I can tell, it has never been.

That's because this file is usually generated by a CI job which dynamically gathers the list of ROS dependencies for the stack. Here is the command you can run in your AutowareAuto folder to generate this file:

rosdep install --as-root "apt:false pip:false" --simulate --reinstall --ignore-src -y --from-paths src | sort >> ros-deps

Thanks for the answer, unfortunately, it didn't quite work yet. It returned a bunch of errors in the style of:

~/adehome/AutowareAuto$ rosdep install --as-root "apt:false pip:false" --simulate --reinstall --ignore-src -y --from-paths src | sort >> ros-deps                                                     
WARNING: ROS_PYTHON_VERSION is unset. Defaulting to 2
ERROR: the following packages/stacks could not have their rosdep keys resolved
to system dependencies (ROS distro is not set. Make sure `ROS_DISTRO` environment variable is set, or use `--rosdistro` option to specify the distro, e.g. `--rosdistro indigo`):
autoware_auto_examples: Cannot locate rosdep definition for [ament_lint_common]
trajectory_spoofer: Cannot locate rosdep definition for [ament_lint_common]
# etc...

Is there a file of rosdep rules that should be available but isn't ? I tried to find one in the Autoware repo but couldn't.
