Prevent Jenkins pipeline commands from being executed in different shells

Question

I have the following code in my Jenkins pipeline script:

sh("alias git='/my/file/path/libexec/git-core/git'")
mvn "-e -X release:prepare"

The second line is calling git and it fails with:

The git-tag command failed.
Command output:
/bin/sh: git: command not found
Caused by: org.apache.maven.plugin.MojoFailureException: Unable to tag SCM

That shouldn't happen because I am aliasing it first.

My suspicion is that the statements are ran in different shells.

Is that true? In which case, how can I prevent this?

I don't think it has any connection with `pom.xml` because that doesn't have any git plugin or dependency. — bsky, Mar 06 '17 at 12:48
Also, you might want to have a look here: http://maven.apache.org/maven-release/maven-release-plugin/examples/prepare-release.html — Adonis, Mar 06 '17 at 13:12
Yes, I'm using this plugin, according to the example. I don't think it's an issue with Maven. I suspect it's a problem with the environment on Jenkins. — bsky, Mar 06 '17 at 13:14
And I suppose adding git as an environment variable on your Jenkins is not possible? See: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10625259/how-to-set-environment-variables-in-jenkins — Adonis, Mar 06 '17 at 13:54

Not sure what mvn is in your script (there is no built-in Maven function in Pipeline), but I think you want something like this:

sh '''
  export PATH=$PATH:/my/file/path/libexec/git-core/git
  mvn -e -X release:prepare
'''

try `git status` instead of calling Maven, something else must be wrong in your build node. – amuniz Mar 06 '17 at 19:19
`git status` works. So I'm assuming the issue must come from Maven and the way it's calling Git. Maybe it's opening a subshell with no configuration and calling Git there, but I'm not sure. Do you have any idea? – bsky Mar 07 '17 at 14:24
