Steps to reproduce

1. Clone the repository at https://github.com/rgl/go-diskfs-create-fat32-img
2. Compile with (see full details at https://github.com/rgl/go-diskfs-create-fat32-img?tab=readme-ov-file#usage-webassemblywasmer):

GOOS=wasip1 GOARCH=wasm go build -o go-diskfs-create-fat32-img.wasm
dd if=/dev/urandom of=Setup.bin bs=123456 count=1 && rm -f Setup.bin.img
wasmer run --mapdir .::/ go-diskfs-create-fat32-img.wasm

3. See error:

2024/01/03 07:19:31 open Setup.bin: Capabilities insufficient
panic: open Setup.bin: Capabilities insufficient

goroutine 1 [running]:
log.Panic({0x1461f00, 0x1, 0x1})
        /opt/go/src/log/log.go:432 +0x5
main.main()
        /home/vagrant/Projects/go-diskfs-create-fat32-img/main.go:17 +0x6

Expected behavior

Expected it to work.

Actual behavior

Crashes with:

2024/01/03 07:19:31 open Setup.bin: Capabilities insufficient
panic: open Setup.bin: Capabilities insufficient

goroutine 1 [running]:
log.Panic({0x1461f00, 0x1, 0x1})
        /opt/go/src/log/log.go:432 +0x5
main.main()
        /home/vagrant/Projects/go-diskfs-create-fat32-img/main.go:17 +0x6

Additional context

This seems related with https://github.com/wasmerio/wasmer/issues/4259, but this issues reproduces the problem with a go application.

RUN-39 with a go app opening a file fails with Capabilities insufficient

[syrusakbary]

I think you mapped on the wrong direction, you probably want: wasmer run --mapdir /::. go-diskfs-create-fat32-img.wasm.

Can you let us know if this fixed your issue?

@syrusakbary oh indeed, the mapping was swapped. thank you for spotting it! the way wasmer does this is different than docker and wastime, so I was completely oblivious about the error :-(

but still, it errors with the same Capabilities insufficient error :-(
