Issue executing CloudSaga

[Ameurdx]

Hi,

I have a problem executing CloudSaga.

I executed it in CloudShell and I have administrator access to the AWS account.

I am getting this error:

The code has the DryRun flag enabled where possible, so that's where those specific error messages are coming from. Here's an example within the code: https://github.com/awslabs/aws-cloudsaga/blob/main/cloudsaga/scenarios/network_changes.py#L53-L55

Yes, I got That. With the DryRun Flag nothing will be executed, but the permissions will be tested.
If I want to simulate the security events/ execute the script, how can I deactivate the DryRun Flag?
Thank you

Hi @Ameurdx I think cloudsaga is designed to run only with DryRun to True. It's hardcoded in the code, I am afraid it's not possible to deactivate it. CMIIW @hackersifu .

[hackersifu]

Correct @za , you'd have to modify the underlying script to make that change.

In that case, I think we can close this issue @hackersifu cc: @Ameurdx
