Run Jenkins Pipeline Tests Inside Docker Container

I'm trying to run my pipeline tests inside (or against) a docker container that I have. I originally used a Dockerfile to create the container, but the tests would always run against the jenkins node executing the job. I modified my jenkinsfile to use something standard, but still don't get what I expect.

What I'm ultimately trying to accomplish is:

  1. Throw up a docker container
  2. Copy my source code to the container
  3. Run my python script on the container

I've got 1 & 2 working, but not 3. For now I'd be happy if I could just run tests against a container, which is why I modified the Jenkinsfile to be simpler.

My Jenkinsfile:

pipeline {
    agent {
        docker { image 'node:7-alpine' }
    }
    stages {
        stage('Test') {
            steps {
                sh 'pwd'
                sh 'ls -al'
            }
        }
    }
}

When I run docker run node:7-alpine pwd, docker run node:7-alpine ls -al locally, I get the following:

/

and

bin
dev
etc
home
lib
linuxrc
media
mnt
opt
proc
root
run
sbin
srv
sys
tmp
usr
var

But on Jenkins I get:

[test_job] Running shell script
+ pwd
/srv/jenkins/workspace/test_job

and 

[test_job] Running shell script
+ ls -al
total 36

As far as I know these commands mount the current directory from jenkins into the container and sets it as workdir. Also there is a bug and you can not switch directory inside the container.

Try ls / which should list whatever is in the root directory of that container
