Re: Dir Step doesn't work inside container step when dir is outside the workspace

This seems to be an issue if we use multiple containers with container('golang')

{ dir("/go") }

Then the dir command seems to do it in jnlp container so i get a error that /go does not exist.

Please also note that environment variables existing in container golang is "null" if used
container('golang'){
dir("${env.GOPATH}") <-- tries to cd into pwd()/null
sh("echo $GOPATH" <-- echoes /go (WORKS)
}
