Java version?

Operating system

Docker

What happened?

I’d like to congratulate you on the release and say that Apache Hop 2.19.0 is amazing.

I believe I found a bug when running Hop Long Lived with Docker.

When setting the variable HOP_DRIVERS_DOWNLOAD="databricks",

the installer did not recognize the Databricks driver, even though it is available in the Maven repository at: https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/databricks/

Execution logs:

Unknown driver id: 'databricks'.
Run 'hop driver list' to see the available drivers.
2026/08/21 11:57:05 - Error: failed to install JDBC driver 'databricks'
2026/08/21 11:57:06 - Running the entrypoint script with PID 7
2026/08/21 11:57:06 - Installing JDBC drivers: databricks
2026/08/21 11:57:06 - Installing JDBC driver 'databricks'

Thanks.

The error message could be improved, we have not specified how and where to download the databricks driver. It should also not show up in the 'hop drivers list' command

Apologies for the English; I am using Google Translate.

The error appears in the container logs when attempting to install the Databricks driver.

link for driver: https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/databricks/

I noticed that when running the hop driver list command, the Databricks driver does not appear in the list.

However, the driver is published on Maven, as shown in the link provided.

Yes, but then it is not a bug, it is an improvement/feature request.
