Hmm,

$ docker inspect -f '{{.Id}}' centos:centos7
ae0c2d0bdc100993f7093400f96e9abab6ddd9a7c56b0ceba47685df5a8fe906

works for me. What does docker version say? Do you have a self-contained script to reproduce?

Hi Jesse, it worked when you run with the terminal, only fails when you run from the workflow-docker-plugin.
The docker version is: 1.8.3

Interesting, should just be running that command internally. Will check if I can reproduce. Do you have only one version of Docker installed on the system?

Yes, I have only one version running in a CentOS 7 and the CentOS is a jenkins slave.

I just got the same issue building from centos:centos7 on a Jenkins slave:

Any workaround for this?

I have just run into this problem. I have several projects that all use the same function to build a docker image. The one I set up a few minutes ago is throwing this same exception. The other projects seem to build fine.

The extra whitespace looks suspicious, perhaps you have FROM␣␣␣␣something? As usual, a self-contained, minimal, reproducible test case would expedite a fix (as well as possibly make a workaround obvious).
