Unable to run sh steps inside docker agent: script.sh Not Found

Question

When trying to run the following declarative pipeline:

pipeline {
    agent { docker 'alpine' }
    stages {
        stage('Test') {
            steps {
                sh('printenv')
            }
        }
    }
}

I get the error:

When monitoring the pipelines @tmp directory whilst its running I can see script.sh created for a short period. I am unable to tell if it has been created, or already deleted, when the pipeline tries to execute it in the running container.

some system details

Jenkins running as a single node system which has docker installed.

Jenkins v2.60.1
(all plugins fully updated)

docker --version
Docker version 17.06.0-ce, build 02c1d87

Answer 1

Have the same setup (single Jenkins 2.73.1 host on an EC2 instance, not inside a container, with Docker 17.09.0-ce) and the same behavior, with both declarative and scripted pipeline. It tries to run the script on the host itself if you specify

sh 'sh ./yourscript.sh'

or

sh './yourscript.sh'

instead of sh 'script.sh'
