Which plugin is required to have docker.build work in Jenkins? - linux

Question

I am using docker on Mac and have Jenkins running in docker container.
Client is interacting with docker daemon on host machine.
I have following plugins installed:
docker-plugin
workflow-aggregator
I do have docker client / command working in container. I have also checked it using sh and even docker cloud can spin up agents.
But below Jenkinsfile is contantly throwing error.
def image
pipeline {
agent {
label "container"
}
stages {
stage('Build') {
steps {
script {
image = docker.build("username/image:$BUILD")
}
}
}
}
}
But I am constantly facing below error message:
groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: docker for class: groovy.lang.Binding

Answer 1

Error: No such property: docker for class: groovy.lang.Binding
No such Docker property indicates that Docker Pipeline plugin is not installed.
It's little confusing because name of these three plugins are very much similar to each other's id:
Docker have id docker-plugin
Pipeline plugin have id workflow-aggregator
Docker Pipeline plugin have id docker-workflow

Answer 2

If you have this issue:
groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: docker for class: groovy.lang.Binding.
We most likely encountered the same issue, in order to fix it I only had to install the Docker Pipeline plugin in Jenkins, so all you have to do is go to:
Jenkins Homepage > Manage Jenkins > Manage Plugins > Available
Search for Docker Pipeline install it restart jenkins and you are ready to go.
