Description of problem:

When using the pipeline builder and the default value for the parameter IMAGE_SCRIPTS_URL is used in the s2i-java task it fails with the error message "/usr/libexec/s2i/assemble: No such file or directory". The problem seems to be have been introduced in the 1.17 release and does not reproduce in prior versions.

Workaround:

Set value for the IMAGE_SCRIPTS_URL parameter to 
image:///usr/local/s2i
 
This problem also reproduces when using the "import from Git" to generate a pipeline for a Java application.
 
The s2i-java task fails with these errors:

Prerequisites (if any, like setup, operators/versions):

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a new pipeline in the OpenShift console
2. Add a workspace and name it shared-workspace
3. Add a git-clone task and set the following parameters
   URL = https://github.com/quarkusio/quarkus-quickstarts 
   output = shared-workspace
4. Add a s2i-java task and set the parameters 
   IMAGE = 
   image-registry.openshift-image-registry.svc:5000/PROJECT-NAME/quarkus-quickstarts
   CONTEXT = getting-started
   source = shared-workspace
5. Click Create
6. Start the pipeline

Actual results:

The execution of the pipeline fails with the error:

STEP 7/8: RUN /usr/libexec/s2i/assemble
/bin/sh: /usr/libexec/s2i/assemble: No such file or directory
subprocess exited with status 127
subprocess exited with status 127
Error: building at STEP "RUN /usr/libexec/s2i/assemble": exit status 127

Expected results:

The image metadata should be picked up and the value for the parameter IMAGE_SCRIPTS_URL should be set to a correct value.

Reproducibility (Always/Intermittent/Only Once):

Always

Acceptance criteria: 

A correct default value for the parameter IMAGE_SCRIPTS_URL should be set and the task should complete successfully 

Definition of Done:

When the default value for the IMAGE_SCRIPTS_URL in the s2i-java task can be used
