Docker error "working directory is invalid"

[Ralph Connors]

I am working through the Maven/Java Jenkins tutorial.

I was able work up to running the Pipeline, but the following fails:

docker run -d -t -v /root/.m2:/root/.m2 -w C:/Users/ralph.connors/.jenkins/workspace/simple-java-maven-app/ -v C:/Users/ralph.connors/.jenkins/workspace/simple-java-maven-app/:C:/Users/ralph.connors/.jenkins/workspace/simple-java-maven-app/ -v C:/Users/ralph.connors/.jenkins/workspace/simple-java-maven-app@tmp/:C:/Users/ralph.connors/.jenkins/workspace/simple-java-maven-app@tmp/ -e ******** -e ******** -e ******** -e ******** -e ******** -e ******** -e ******** -e ******** -e ******** -e ******** -e ******** -e ******** -e ******** -e ******** -e ******** -e ******** -e ******** -e ******** -e ******** -e ******** -e ******** -e ******** -e ******** -e ******** -e ******** -e ******** -e ******** maven:3-alpine cmd.exe

Why are you using an Alpine Linux image with Windows paths? If you want to run a Linux container, you need to setup your volumes to use Linux paths mapped to the Windows equivalent (if you are running this on a Windows host).

Thanks for your quick answer. I am new to both Docker and Jenkins - how do I do this?

You will probably want to read up on volumes in Docker from the Docker documentation (https://docs.docker.com/storage/volumes/).
