[FIXED] Executing gcloud command in Jenkins pipeline

Issue

I'm trying to run the gcloud command in a Jenkins declarative pipeline just like in the following example:

pipeline {
    agent any

   stages {
      stage('Run gcloud version') {

         steps {
            sh 'gcloud --version'           
         }
      }
   }
}

I downloaded the "GCloud SDK Plugin" and configured it like this (in "Global Tool Configuration" for Jenkins):

but when I try to build the pipeline using the above Jenkinsfile, I'm getting a 'gcloud: not found' error in the pipeline.

Solution

I was able to run the command using the following Jenkinsfile:

pipeline {
   agent any

stages {
    stage('Run gcloud') {

        steps {
            withEnv(['GCLOUD_PATH=/var/jenkins_home/google-cloud-sdk/bin']) {
                sh '$GCLOUD_PATH/gcloud --version'
            }


         }
      }
   }
}

Note: I'm running Jenkins in kubernetes, so first I had to install the gcloud sdk in the Jenkins pod
