Agent creation fails for Linux machines

[joestr]

The preparation for Linux VM is flawed.

While in the prepare script JDK 13 gets downloaded and installed in the start script references a JDK 12 installation.

Prepare script

Thanks, feel free to submit a PR. Seems a trivial mistake able to be worked around by setting JAVA_HOME?

I think it's fair to say that this plugin is somewhat abandoned at the moment. It has never been updated to the latest elastic agent plugin API (#5) so I would be a little surprised if it works on current GoCD versions.

Personally i don't have an Azure account or Azure expertise so if you have a need for this or are using this currently and would like to whip it into shape, help would be welcome.

Hi,

Thanks for the response!

I mainly use Azure because they are rather cheap and can spin up Windows VMs comparatively fast.

The latest version of this plugin uses a hacky solution to function properly.

I created a fork where I fixed the scripts. Tackling the API change would take some time since I have to get familiar with the API.

Thanks - will take a look. Part of the reason that plugin hasn't been updated/re-released for a while is inability for me to sanity test it in a "real" environment. If you are able to help me do so, then that can be remedied.

I have some capabilities to test and validate proper functionality in Azure.
