| The powershell plugin when used within docker container enters a hang state. I would expect it to fail if powershell core is not installed, which works if the same thing is ran outside docker. The jenkins agent is a Ubuntu 16.04 machine. I dont see any other process also running within the docker container in the hung state except cat // CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES xxxx alpine:latest "cat" 5 minutes ago Up 5 minutes ecstatic_galileo PS /home/administrator> docker top 2a2a21fe5dbc WARNING: Error loading config file: /home/administrator/.docker/config.json: open /home/administrator/.docker/config.json: permission denied UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD adminis+ 5372 5350 0 07:39 pts/0 00:00:00 cat //Sample Jenkinsfile timestamps { //linux docker node("LinuxDocker") { //Works docker.image("alpine:latest").inside { sh("echo command inside docker") } // Hangs docker.image("alpine:latest").inside { powershell(script:"echo command inside docker") } } } Hung output ================================================== [Pipeline] { [Pipeline] sh 20:39:30 + echo command inside docker 20:39:30 command inside docker [Pipeline] } $ docker top <xxxxguid> -eo pid,comm WARNING: Error loading config file: /home/administrator/.docker/config.json: open /home/administrator/.docker/config.json: permission denied $ docker stop --time=1 <xxxxguid> $ docker rm -f <xxxxguid> [Pipeline] // withDockerContainer [Pipeline] sh 20:39:32 + docker inspect -f . alpine:latest 20:39:32 WARNING: Error loading config file: /home/administrator/.docker/config.json: open /home/administrator/.docker/config.json: permission denied 20:39:32 .
