Today, while trying to restructure one of our primary pipelines in Concourse, I ran into a weird issue with a new resource I was working on:
no workers satisfying: resource type 'snapshot'
available workers:
- platform 'linux'
- platform 'linux'
“snapshot” was the name of the resource I was working on. That error was
confusing mostly because of its reference to the two workers labelled as
platform 'linux'. At first I thought I had mistaken put/get operations on a
resource with defining a task.
That led to nothing but while looking through the complete pipeline definition
again I noticed that I had forgotten to also define the resource_type for
snapshot. So, all I had there was a resource but no resource-type for it.
Once I added that, the error disappeared. In case you get the same error: Check
your resource-types 😅
