Error adding Open Liberty feature to a container on Linux

[turkeylurkey]

Log in to a machine using Ubuntu 18 or 20. Using demo-devmode project, devc branch note the server.xml does not contain mpHealth. Edit Dockerfile to use a slim image such as openliberty/open-liberty:kernel-slim-java8-ibmjava-ubi Edit Dockerfile to include RUN features.sh Start dev mode with mvn liberty:devc Edit pom.xml to add

        <dependency>
            <groupId>io.openliberty.features</groupId>
            <artifactId>mpHealth-2.2</artifactId>
            <version>20.0.0.12</version>
            <type>esa</type>
        </dependency>

to the dependencies section. Save the file. Wait one or two minutes. This error appears in the dev mode console:

[ERROR] An error occurred while installing features: CWWKF1289E: The following file cannot be created: /opt/ol/wlp/dev/api/stable/com.ibm.websphere.org.eclipse.microprofile.health.2.2_1.0.47.jar. Ensure that its parent directory exists and that you have the necessary permissions to create files in the directory, then run the command again. RC=21

There is a similar error using gradle:

An error occurred while installing features: CWWKF1289E: The following file cannot be created: /opt/ol/wlp/dev/api/stable/com.ibm.websphere.org.eclipse.microprofile.health.2.2_1.0.47.jar.

Just verified this is still happening on the 3.8.2 version of the plugin. I see the following error message when trying to add mpHealth-4.0 feature to the server.xml. Note that if I stop the container and start it again with this feature in the server.xml, it successfully starts.

[ERROR] An error occurred while installing features: CWWKF1016E: Unable to create the directory structure /opt/ol/wlp/lafiles/com.ibm.websphere.appserver.eeCompatible-6.0/wlp/lafiles.
