Trying to use default kubernetes elastic agent profile (demo-app)

[Vijay Dirisala]

Hi,

I have the latest version of gocd installed via helm on Docker for Desktop on Windows. The default getting_started_pipeline is working fine. The installation created an cluster configuration called k8-cluster-profile and an elastic agent profile called demo-app. The getting_started_pipeline is running on this agent without any problems.

Now I tried to create my own simple, test pipeline and job settings used the same Elastic Agent Profild Id (demo-app). Run Type is "Run on one instance." However, my test pipeline is never running. The agent is never launched. It's stuck in "Waiting for an agent" state. Is there any other configuration/selection logic I'm missing? Is the demo-app profile only limited to the getting_started_pipleline somehow? I can't figure out where else I can specify the demo-app agent to be used for my test pipeline.

I hope that's clear. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi Vijay

That sounds odd. The demo-app profile isn't limited in any way I can think of. Specifying the Elastic Agent Profile ID is all you should have to do.

What does the console say for the job while it is "waiting for an agent"? You should see it saying things like:

[go] Waiting to create agent pod.
[go] Creating pod: k8s-ea-b65a313d-fb8d-41db-b13e-7fd3394993c5
[go] Agent pod k8s-ea-b65a313d-fb8d-41db-b13e-7fd3394993c5 created. Waiting for it to register to the GoCD server.
[go] Job Started: 2022-03-20 09:57:42 GMT

Do you see it creating a pod within your cluster? By default you should see a pod like "k8s-ea-<UUID>" being created, and transition to running state within Kubernetes.

Perhaps you can share the rest of the job/pipeline configuration if you can't figure out what is going on.
