      Current behaviour

      I could not run emulator with android-emulator-plugin 2.15. It shows "PANIC: Missing emulator engine program for 'x86' CPU." and never starts emulator.

      Workaround

      It worked after I did these two steps.

      1. Add to global Jenkins environment variables:

      LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools/lib

      2. Add to android-emulator-plugin->Advanced->Emulator options:

      -engine auto

      I found somehow this stackoverflow question helpful.

      I guess adding QEMU2 support would solve the problem (ref. JENKINS-40178)
