Jenkins pipeline docker agent - docker run error - Failed to run image - java.io.IOException

Question

I have tried used jenkins with docker, both are installed on my machine (w10) and I run docker images with jenkins. But when i followed the example in the jenkins documentation (example from doc) it didn't work. Different pipeline scripts worked when not involving the agent { docker ... }, I also tried adding the docker plugin from the jenkins config interface.

pipeline script

// Jenkinsfile (Declarative Pipeline)
pipeline {
    agent { docker { image 'maven:3.3.3' } }
    stages {
        stage('build') {
            steps {
                sh 'mvn --version'
            }
        }
    }
}

error stack

I have found a similar issue on SO (the same but no clear solution)

Answer 1

I fixed this issue just adding the environment parameter HOME equals to the dot value. I tried with the workspace value also but it didn't worked. The main idea is to modify the workspace folder path to the right one.

pipeline {
        agent { docker { image 'maven:3.3.3' } }
        stages {
            stage('build') {
                environment {
                  HOME="."
                }
                steps {
                    sh 'mvn --version'
                }
           }
        }
    }

Answer 2

your working directory and -v should be like :

docker run -d -t -w /$PWD -v /$PWD:/$PWD .......

that is because of thw windows path it should be //

UPDATE

I think there is now no solution for it the case is still open an currecnt
