Doesn't ask for permissions second time about sudo-prompt

[jorangreef]

It looks like the User you are passing does not exist as a valid user on the system.

I have create a new user, without admin privileges, and is continuous happening. I have to restart or log out and it works again, but only first time.

[jorangreef]

Your command (chown -R User) shows that you are passing in User literally as your user name?

[jorangreef]

What does ls /Users return on that system?

[debelop13]

I do a whoami, my user is named "test".

My real code
var user = execSync("whoami").toString().replace("\n", "");
var command = "chown -R " + user + " '" + destination + "';
sudo.exec(command, options,.....

It is like my chown destroys something

First time before run my app:

Admins-MacBook-Pro:~ test$ /usr/bin/sudo -n -E -- chown -R test '/Applications/Example/Plugins/'
sudo: a password is required
Admins-MacBook-Pro:~ test$ ls /Users
Shared admin test

After run my app:

Admins-MacBook-Pro:~ test$ /usr/bin/sudo -n -E -- chown -R test '/Applications//Example/Plugins/'
test is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.
Admins-MacBook-Pro:~ test$ ls /Users
Shared admin test

Curiosuly I dont need to restart, 5 minuts later open application, I run again and works fine.
Restart / 5 minuts after.. (only in yosemite):

Admins-MacBook-Pro:~ test$ /usr/bin/sudo -n -E -- chown -R test '/Applications/Example/Plugins/'
sudo: a password is required
Admins-MacBook-Pro:~ test$ ls /Users
Shared admin test

Thanks, if you are logged in as the test user, what does running id in the Terminal return (make sure you are logged in as the test user)?

[debelop13]

Yes, i am logged in test user:

Before run my app:

Admins-MacBook-Pro:~ test$ /usr/bin/sudo -n -E -- chown -R test '/Applications/Example/Plugins/'
sudo: a password is required
Admins-MacBook-Pro:~ test$ id
uid=503(test) gid=20(staff) groups=20(staff),703(com.apple.sharepoint.group.3),12(everyone),61(localaccounts),702(com.apple.sharepoint.group.2),100(_lpoperator),701(com.apple.sharepoint.group.1)

After run my app:

Admins-MacBook-Pro:~ test$ /usr/bin/sudo -n -E -- chown -R test '/Applications/Example/Plugins/'
test is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.
Admins-MacBook-Pro:~ test$ id
uid=503(test) gid=20(staff) groups=20(staff),703(com.apple.sharepoint.group.3),12(everyone),61(localaccounts),702(com.apple.sharepoint.group.2),100(_lpoperator),701(com.apple.sharepoint.group.1)

I think the problem is that your test user is not a member of the admin group. Your default sudoers file will probably only allow root and users who are members of the admin group. You need to add your test user to the admin group (this may work: http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/76088/how-do-i-give-a-user-sudo-permissions).

But this can be solved in my mac, but If I have to distribute this app, it is a problem..

[jorangreef]

If you restart your computer, and without running the app, what does the following give?

/usr/bin/sudo -E -- chown -R test '/Applications/Example/Plugins/'

[debelop13]

Sorry, I did not understand correctly last comment, and I have delete it.

This command is asking for password, and after error is the same:

Admins-MacBook-Pro:~ test$ /usr/bin/sudo -E -- chown -R test '/Applications/Example/Plugins/'
Password:
test is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.

[jorangreef]

Thanks, running the command I gave you confirms that the issue is either with sudo or chown. To see which one it is...

Can you try and run this command in your Terminal:

sudo -k && whoami && sudo echo hello

And then try this:

sudo -k && sudo chown -R test '/Applications/Example/Plugins/'

What do these two commands return?

[debelop13]

Can be possible the same error?

Admins-MacBook-Pro:~ test$ sudo -k && whoami && sudo echo hello
test
Password:
test is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.

Admins-MacBook-Pro:~ test$ sudo -k && sudo chown -R test '/Applications/Example/Plugins/'
Password:
test is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.

How did you create the test user on your Mac?

I think it's because your test user is not a member of the admin group, or perhaps because of how the user was created.

There's nothing that sudo-prompt can do since your command fails with sudo itself. sudo-prompt can only do what sudo can do.
