Steps to reproduce :

1. Create a module with a first_run script.

2. Create a .tar.gz file containing the module’s executable and first_run script inside it. Make sure both files match what’s written in meta.json.

3. Upload the module with the CLI.

4. Add this module to your machine

 Expected behavior :

 The first_run script runs

Actual behavior :

You get this line in the logs:

I think the thing to change is that the call to viam module upload should fail if the .tar.gz file does not contain meta.json. (or, use the meta.json from viam module update without needing a copy in your .tar.gz at all, which is how I assumed this all worked).

Workaround : ( if available)

Include your meta.json inside your .tar.gz file, I think? I’m trying this now…
