Jenkins ansible plugin can't find executable

I'm running a Jenkins on Amazon EC2--the master in a Docker container and an agent on a separate box. My playbook executes an Ansible script, using the Jenkins Ansible plugin.

I had to install a new version of Ansible on the agent. I installed Ansible from git using the Running from Source instructions, and installed to /home/ec2-user/ansible. If I ssh to the agent and run which ansible I get ~/ansible/bin/ansible as expected. I entered /home/ec2-user/ansible/bin in the 'Ansible executables directory' for my new install, at the Manage Jenkins > Global Tool Configuration page.

When I run my Jenkins pipeline, however, I get this: 

Running on docker-agent-1 in /home/ec2-user/jenkins/workspace/planet-healthcare-pipeline
[Pipeline] {
[Pipeline] pwd
[Pipeline] stage
[Pipeline] { (Download source and capture commit ID)
[Pipeline] sh
[planet-healthcare-pipeline] Running shell script
+ which ansible
which: no ansible in (/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin)

It says it's running on docker-agent-1 (which is the name of my agent), and I can see Ansible if I ssh there. Why can't Jenkins find the ansible executable?

UPDATE: After adding PATH as an environment variable, it can find Ansible, but now something else breaks. Here's the new output:

Running on docker-agent-1 in /home/ec2-user/jenkins/workspace/planet-healthcare-pipeline

    catch(err) {

        mail body: "project build error: ${err}\n\n\n ${currentBuild.description}" ,
        subject: 'project build failed',
        to: 'me@example.com'

        throw err
    }

}

It's failing in the "Run test suite" stage--it can't find rails to run rails db:migrate, even though I know it's in the container.

Why would setting PATH on the agent affect a script that happens inside a Docker container?

Do you execute which ansible in your script? It searches only defined PATHs.
And it seems /home/ec2-user/ansible/bin is not in /usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin (from your output).
You may go to agent-node's settings in Jenkins and add PATH environment variable with $PATH:/home/ec2-user/ansible/bin value.
