Package installed using Dockerfile not available on Jenkins pipeline stage

Question

I'm having sort of a weird problem with my Jenkins pipeline. I've defined a Dockerfile which installs some tools I need for my CI/CD pipeline, such as node, npm, sfdx, and sfpowerkit (a plugin for sfdx). This is the Dockerfile:

FROM node:14.14-alpine

#add usefull tools
RUN apk add --update --no-cache  \
  git \
  findutils \
  bash \
  unzip \
  curl \
  wget \
  nodejs-npm \
  openjdk8-jre \
  openssh-client \
  perl \
  jq

# install Salesforce CLI from npm
RUN npm install sfdx-cli --global
RUN sfdx --version

# install sfpowerkit - https://github.com/Accenture/sfpowerkit
RUN echo y | sfdx plugins:install sfpowerkit
RUN sfdx plugins

My Jenkinsfile is pretty simple as well:

pipeline {
    agent {
        dockerfile true
    }

    stages {
        stage("build") {
            steps {
                echo "build step"
                sh 'node --version'
                sh 'npm --version'
                sh "sfdx --version"
                sh "sfdx plugins --core"
                sh "sfdx plugins"
                sh "sfdx commands"
                sh 'sfdx sfpowerkit --help' <-- this command fails
            }
        }
    }

}

The problem is that even though I install the plugin sfpowerkit and it shows on the job output that it was successfully installed, the plugin is not available inside the build stage.

This is during the Dockerfile image construction:

And this is during the build stage on the pipeline:

I can't find out what the problem is, and why the plugin is not available after constructing the container through the Dockerfile.

Would anyone be kind to help?

Thank you!!

Answer 1

I have same issue, adding mkdir .local && chmod g+rwx .local before instalation helped me.

RUN mkdir .local && chmod g+rwx .local \
&& echo 'y' | sfdx plugins:install sfpowerkit

or

install it whithin jenkins 'steps'. it might not be very clever or wise but it should work.

I was able to solve this issue by using the following docker image instead of the Dockerfile:

"dxatscale/sfpowerscripts"

Here is an example:

pipeline {
    agent {
        docker { image 'dxatscale/sfpowerscripts' }
    }

    stages {
        stage("build") {
            steps {
                echo "build step"
                sh 'node --version'
                sh 'npm --version'
                sh "sfdx --version"
                sh "sfdx plugins --core"
                sh "sfdx plugins"
                sh "sfdx commands"
                sh 'sfdx sfpowerkit --help'
            }
        }
    }

}
