This code works with 1.7.1.

We started investigating a bit and found a change which I was evaluating to possibly causing the issues. In 1.7.1, https://github.com/jenkinsci/coverity-plugin/blob/coverity-1.7.1/src/main/java/jenkins/plugins/coverity/CoverityLauncherDecorator.java#L227, and this works. In 1.8.0, https://github.com/jenkinsci/coverity-plugin/blob/be3051fbc6f5960917d05db7e40030396565bc37/src/main/java/jenkins/plugins/coverity/CoverityLauncherDecorator.java#L225 .. We are not sure exactly what if anything this may be evaluating to, need to dig deeper but it makes since if this isn't in the env that the build dir isn't getting evaluated properly, thus nothing to analyze at the end.
