Upload stemcell not workgin (bosh-init installation)

[joek]

Hi,
we deployed a new microbosh using bosh-init. The installation works really well, thank you for building this great tool.

After we finished the installation we tried to upload a new stemcell and got the following error:

 Started update stemcell > Verifying stemcell manifest. Done (00:00:00)
  Started update stemcell > Checking if this stemcell already exists. Done (00:00:00)
  Started update stemcell > Uploading stemcell bosh-aws-xen-ubuntu-trusty-go_agent/3012 to the cloud.

Task 6 error

The problem was, the sudo is requiring a password.

$ sudo -l
Matching Defaults entries for vcap on 84bc124e-0c15-45f8-7b08-ed8e72b83a3f:
    !lecture, tty_tickets, !fqdn

User vcap may run the following commands on 84bc124e-0c15-45f8-7b08-ed8e72b83a3f:
    (ALL) ALL
    (root) NOPASSWD: /var/vcap/jobs/director/bin/stemcell-copy

Is there already a solution for this issue (except of ssh in to the microbosh and fix sudo)?
From my perspective it is quiet hard to fix the sudoers file, since the path to the script is generated including version numbers. Any ideas?

Cheers
Johannes

Uploading full AWS stemcell (when using external CPI) currently does not work. We have a story coming up to fixing that: https://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/show/97308026

@cppforlife I might got a solution on CPI level. I guess this ticket can be closed.

For the absolute noob, what do I do to get around this? Can I get the stemcell uploaded without using bosh upload stemcell?

Solved this for bosh-init by using the latest AWS CPI release, which includes the fix. Change bosh.yml lines 9 and 10 to use v=28 instead of v=27. Change sha1 to c7ce03393ebedd87a860dc609758ddb9654360fa.
