Hot deploy of Spring Boot on OpenShift is not working with OpenShift Online --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBIDE-25700 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-25700 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Bug Components: openshift Affects Versions: 4.5.2.Final Reporter: Aurélien Pupier Assignee: Andre Dietisheim Priority: Critical Labels: online, springboot Fix For: 4.5.3.AM3 neither with open.paas.redhat.com so only when using the CDK. it seems to be due to the fact that the user in the pod are not the same. Jeff said: {quote} For SpringBoot deployments, the application file is called a fat jar and it placed in the /deployments folder (images are upstream fabric8/s2i-java or imagestream redhat-openjdk18-openshift). In order to get live update the file is then unzipped to the /deployments folder leaded to new sub folders BOOT-INF and META-INF The user permissions on those folders are the following: /deployments: writable by user jboss and group root /deployments/BOOT-INF: writable by user jboss readable only by group root /deployments/META-INF: writable by user jboss readable only by group root The rsync process with create some sub folders under /deployments/BOOT-INF. The problem that we have is that the user that is assigned for the rsync operation (or when you open a terminal in the OpenShift console) is not jboss (as opposed to Minishift/CDK) and thus we have permissions errors during the rsync operation. {quote}
