changing recipe location causes an error

[aleksei-burlakov]

Changing recipe location to something else rather than codenvy/ubuntu_jdk8 causes an error when startin the workspace.

Reproduction Steps:

I have created a workspace 'default blank'. It's default recipe location is codenvy/ubuntu_jdk8

"recipe": {
        "location": "codenvy/ubuntu_jdk8",
        "type": "dockerimage"
      }

I have also created a new docker image using $docker commit command and pushed to the docker hub. The new image is based on codenvy/ubuntu_jdk8 and it's name is marmolata/ubuntu_jdk8_123

When I change the receipe location to

"recipe": {
        "location": "marmolata/ubuntu_jdk8_123",
        "type": "dockerimage"
      }

then I have an error when start the workspace. I also tried with other images, like

"recipe": {
        "location": "ubuntu",
        "type": "dockerimage"
      }

or

"recipe": {
        "location": "ankitkariryaa/sbt-javac",
        "type": "dockerimage"
      }

and it only failed to start.

Expected behavior:

I expect it would work as if it was codenvy/ubuntu_jdk8.

Observed behavior:

Che version: 5.0.0-latest
OS and version: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Docker version: 1.12.1, build 23cf638

Additional information:

• Problem started happening recently, didn't happen in an older version of Che: Yes
• Problem can be reliably reproduced, doesn't happen randomly: Yes

@aleksei-burakov you need a non terminating CMD in your recipe. Can you add tailf /dev/null to your CMD, rebuild and re-upload an image?

Thank you! That worked.
