withDockerContainer in pipeline failing

[Jeeva Chelladhurai]

Hello All,

I am running Jenkins (2.121.1) inside a Docker container and I use ssh node as build nodes. I want to use  withDockerContainer in my pipeline as shown in /1/ and getting an error as shown in /2/. Could you please help me to resolve this issue?

/1/
pipeline {
    agent { label "build" }   
    stages {
        stage("test") {
            steps {
                withDockerContainer (image: 'busybox') {    
                         sh 'pwd'
                }

            }
        }
    }
}

/2/

I had this error couple of weeks ago. Go to global configuration, there is probably an empty environment variable declared.

Hi, did you find a solution ? I'm facing the same problem. How did you correct it ?

[Ivan Fernandez Calvo]

hi,

I've never used `withDockerContainer`,   if you take a look to the documentation you'd see the way to run commands inside a docker container in pipeline https://jenkins.io/doc/book/pipeline/docker/ this is the same code that was in this email thread

pipeline {

  agent {

    label "build"

  }

  stages {

    stage("test") {

      steps {

        script {

          docker.inside(image: 'busybox') {

            sh 'pwd'

          }

        }

      }

    }

  }

}
