ctr: failed to create shim task, wasmtime can't handle spec?

[matsbror]

I have compiled and installed the wasmtime shim (and wasmedge and wasmer), and I am able to run a wasm module using docker:

docker run --rm --runtime io.containerd.runtime.wasmtime.v1 matsbror/serwasm2:0.1

However, I would like to run it directly using ctr if possible, but I get this error:

sudo ctr run --rm --runtime io.containerd.runtime.wasmtime.v1 docker.io/matsbror/serwasm2:0.1 myapp bogus
ctr: failed to create shim task: Others("exec process failed with error error in executing process : wasmtime executor can't handle spec"): unknown

I can run a spin app directly using ctr with the spin shim from spinkube.

It's hard to tell what's going on with this error, and perhaps it would be helpful to add containerd logs.

If you are running containerd as a service in Linux, you can check containerd logs by journalctl -u containerd. It seems like this error msg is from https://github.com/containerd/runwasi/blob/main/crates/containerd-shim-wasm/src/sys/unix/container/executor.rs#L40

Same error here but inside a pod of Kubernetes (Kind) and using WasmEdge. Kubectl logs empty.

Any ideas?

The error message should be more explicity after #655.
