[JENKINS-49531] Docker ps command output is empty when adding a command to the image.run() section

Scenario 1:

I try to run the Selenoid image via Jenkinsfile with the following command:

stage('Start services') {

docker.image('aerokube/selenoid').

run('--name selenoid ' +

'-p 4444:4444 ' +

'-v C:/workspace/selenoid:/etc/selenoid ' +

'-v C:/workspace/output:/opt/selenoid/video ' +

'-v //var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock ' +

'-e "OVERRIDE_VIDEO_OUTPUT_DIR=/C/workspace/output/"',

'-video-output-dir /output')

}

After the completion of this code and run the 

docker ps

 

I don't see any information related to the selenoid. When I try to run this command from my PC manually I see the following: 

docker: Error response from daemon: Conflict. The container name "/selenoid" is already in use by container "ce43d0476d5d388d8471e6891b981df8b2e52206f94c3f7f2b81180ae95de821". You have to remove (or rename) that container to be able to reuse that name.

Please see the docker logs for this container:

2018/02/13 14:13:32 /usr/bin/selenoid: browsers config: read error: open config/browsers.json: no such file or directory

 

Scenario 2:

If I delete the next command

 '-video-output-dir /output'

 

selenoid runs and I see it in the docker ps output. But without this parameters, I'm unable to link the video to the output dir. Please see the following logs:

Raw content of original issue

Scenario 1:

I try to run the Selenoid image via Jenkinsfile with the following command:



stage('Start services') {

        docker.image('aerokube/selenoid').

                run('--name selenoid ' +

                        '-p 4444:4444 ' +

                        '-v C:/workspace/selenoid:/etc/selenoid ' +

                        '-v C:/workspace/output:/opt/selenoid/video ' +

                        '-v //var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock ' +

                        '-e "OVERRIDE_VIDEO_OUTPUT_DIR=/C/workspace/output/"',

                '-video-output-dir /output')

}



After the completion of this code and run the 



docker ps





 


I don't see any information related to the selenoid. When I try to run this command from my PC manually I see the following: 



docker: Error response from daemon: Conflict. The container name "/selenoid" is already in use by container "ce43d0476d5d388d8471e6891b981df8b2e52206f94c3f7f2b81180ae95de821". You have to remove (or rename) that container to be able to reuse that name.





Please see the docker logs for this container:

Scenario 2:

If I delete the next command



 '-video-output-dir /output'



 


selenoid runs and I see it in the docker ps output. But without this parameters, I'm unable to link the video to the output dir. Please see the following logs:
