How to run a Jenkins job inside a windows docker container












2














I am trying to run a jenkins job inside a windows docker container. I have successfully created an image with windows server code docker image which will have MSBuildEngine 4.7.



The problem I am facing is I am not able to run a Jenkins job inside that container.



I am able to do it easily with linux environment.



The actual problem is, Jenkins first puts a shell file which will have the command to run the container and inspect it.



How do I tell Jenkins that my environment is not Linux and it is Windows.



Note: Searching in google does not help now a days. So I directly reached out here

          I am working on this issue as well. I am finding that the (maybe just a) underlying issue is how Jenkins tells Docker to mount a volume to the container. I have yet to get around this issue.

          There's a PR addressing this issue and I tested the fork with both Linux and Windows slaves to work as we intend.




          1. Download Rbutcher's fork of the plugin:


            • git clone https://github.com/rbutcher/docker-workflow-plugin.git



          2. Change to the working branch:


            • git checkout feat/windows_slaves



          3. Build the plugin:


            • mvn -DskipTests clean install



          4. Manually import into Jenkins:


            • Manage Jenkins> Manage Plugins> Advanced>Upload Plugin and select ./target/docker-workflow.hpi.
