Problem Description

Detailed problem description goes here.

When compiling any code, I get a permission denied error like so
.arduino15/packages/esp8266/hardware/esp8266/2.5.0-beta1/tools/signing.py: permission denied
Permisions for that folder looked fine, but I even did a chmod 777 on the entire directory to see if that would change anything, it did not.

This is with the latest beta version of the board info (2.5.0beta)
When I downgrade it to the previous version, it works fine.

Looks like a paranoid system configuration. Can you give the full OS config?

I'm assuming you're running from a Linux/UNIX-like system, yes? And there is a "~/" before the ".arduino15" that you've not copied? If not, then maybe your Arduino copy is having trouble with $(HOME)

From a bash prompt, please try
python ~/.arduino15/packages/esp8266/hardware/esp8266/2.5.0-beta1/tools/signing.py

.arduino15/packages/esp8266/hardware/esp8266/2.5.0-beta1/tools/signing.py

Both should give some form of "ERROR: Mode not specified..." message.

If they don't, then could you have the Arduino tree on a filesystem mounted as NOEXEC (so that nothing can run from it?). Another possibility is a SELINUX enforcing mode config that doesn't allow executing the file.

Samer problem here on OSX (Mojave), will try suggestions and revert.

Install was done via board manager.

UPDATE: Solved by issuing command:

chmod u+rwx /Users/xxx/Library/Arduino15/packages/esp8266/hardware/esp8266/2.5.0-beta1/tools/signing.py

Correct on linux, ubuntu 18.04And the path was fully qualified, I just removed the /home/user I had tried running the command direct from the command line and it does give me the mode not specified message, so there is something about it being called from the ide that's messing with things  Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone -------- Original message --------From: "Earle F.

Samer problem here on OSX (Mojave), will try suggestions and revert.

Install was done via board manager.

UPDATE: Solved by issuing command:

chmod u+rwx /Users/xxx/Library/Arduino15/packages/esp8266/hardware/esp8266/2.5.0-beta1/tools/signing.py

Worked like a charm :)

[wabbitguy]

Same thing on Mac OS High Sierra and the suggested command in the terminal worked perfectly. Thanks @Swiftnesses

[Swiftnesses]

Welcome guys, glad I could help :)

Yup, looks like there is a packaging issue in the IDE installed package. Deleting my GIT copy and using the boards manager to install 2.5.0-b1 I too see:

fork/exec /home/earle/.arduino15/packages/esp8266/hardware/esp8266/2.5.0-beta1/tools/signing.py: permission denied

The GIT version itself has the +x bit set on the file, so I'll have to peek at our packing script...

Actually, it;s even worse. The packaged platform.txt is missing many lines vs. the GIT repo!
