Change to
PATH="~/.local/bin:$PATH"
This will ensure portability across different distros/images.

Please hold off on merging until Aman has a chance to sync his changes to the labs. He did a direct commit on the internal version, and these changes might conflict on merge.

Are you sure this works without sudo? without error? Our concern is that the sudo is usually on the pip3 install because the user can't install packages. If you remove sudo, I assume you need to add --user to the command. Please explain.

Verified: This breaks the lab. Rejecting this change.

The merge of the internal diffs to the master branch are complete. Now, I talked to Rob and he and I have concerns about the removal of sudo on the pip3 command. Can you respond to that specific comment? Once that's resolved, we can squash and merge. |

The problem was with the second line. The initial change installs pip then updates the python path. Changing the the update path statement from I made the original change because using pip3 install chalice mysql-connector-python This works and is in line with best practice. |

Hi! I rejected it because it uses the export and that would be lost on reboot. Changes to the PATH need to be done in the shell's profile file, such as the .bashrc file. In line with other workshops, this should be done in the instance bootstrap step via the userdatac9.sh script. Your change didn't use that method. These instances can be rebooted or stopped as they run on C9. While sudo pip3 install is not ideal, it works and it's one line. I was able to run chalice fine after the sudo pip3 install command with no changes to the path, hence the export is removed from the merged commit. I didn't do the rest of the lab, assuming that the working chalice command is sufficient. |
Updated the git hash to use in LSQL module so the chalise app is not tied to the us-west-2 region.
