Use android build environment image and run ruby gems

Roberto Altieri

I'm using the following yml file

image: uber/android-build-environment:latest

pipelines:
default:
    - step:
caches:
          - bundler
script: # Modify the commands below to build your repository.
          - apt-get update && apt-get install -y awscli
          - apt-get install rubygems
          - gem install bundler
          - bundle install
          - bundle exec fastlane test
          - bundle exec fastlane build
definitions:
caches:
bundler: ./vendor

Please notice that I'm using an Android build environment image.

The build fails on

apt-get install rubygems

with the error:

<span>E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied)</span><span>E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?</span>

so it seems like the build script does not run as root.

If I try to use sudo it fails with the error

sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified

What should I do to be able to run ruby gems with the Android build environment image?
