Cherry-pick of PR #25423 to 7.x branch. Original message:
What does this PR do?
The problem is when agent tries to invoke watcher which checks upgraded agent for failures and at the same time unversioned home path is set.
Usually agent took its home path which is
{top_path}/data/elastic-agent-{hash}/elastic-agent
and invokedwatch
sub-command on binary at that path.When unversioned path is set it tries to run watcher from
{top_path}/data/elastic-agent
and as so it results in binary not found.Fixes: #25371
Why is it important?
Reduce noise created by failng attempt to run this. This is just a case when running
container
sub-command which tempers paths.Checklist
