This is the jenkins file code

pipeline{
    agent any
    tools{
        maven 'Maven'
    }
    stages{
        stage("SCM Checkout"){
            steps{
            git 'https://github.com/samben01/KarateWithJenkins.git'
            }
        }
        stage("Maven Build"){
            steps{
                sh 'mvn clean package'
            }
        }
    }
}

I have attached all the data above if anyone know the answer please answer the question

Take a look at [This Answer](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45140614/jenkins-pipeline-sh-fail-with-cannot-run-program-nohup-on-windows) and on this [JENKINS-33708](https://issues.jenkins.io/browse/JENKINS-33708). Basically yo are trying to run an `sh` step on a Windows system which is not supported, use `bat` step instead. — Noam Helmer, Jul 13 '21 at 11:44

 In Linux/Mac we have to use 'sh' command.

In windows we have to use 'bat' command.

Jenkins Code:

pipeline{
    agent any
    tools{
        maven 'Maven'
    }
    stages{
        stage("SCM Checkout"){
            steps{
            git 'https://github.com/samben01/KarateWithJenkins.git'
            }
        }
        stage("Maven Build"){
            steps{
                bat 'mvn clean package'
            }
        }
    }
}

You seem to be running the job which executes a Shell block on an Windows agent. Instead of using the "agent any", try to see if you can run this against a Linux agent if you plan to use the Shell block or change the Shell block to a bat and run it against a Windows agent.

I was also getting the error for JDK for Jenkins, where I found in .jenkins in config.xml that the old JDK path was mentioned. I have changed as per %PATH%.

The issue has been fixed.

As mentioned before, this issue is resolved by specifing the agent to Linux or update the sh commands. Another option, would be to specify the agent either with name or with a label running.

This would require you to specify the add a label to jenkins agent before.

pipeline{
agent { 
    label 'linux'
}
tools{
    maven 'Maven'
}
stages{
    stage("SCM Checkout"){
        steps{
        git 'https://github.com/....' #... should be your git path
        }
    }
    stage("Maven Build"){
        steps{
            sh 'mvn clean package'
        }
    }
}

}
