I'm seeing a strange error during the Jenkins checkout scm stage after the initial Jenkinsfile checkout and node selection on one of my two nodes.

For one particular node, Jenkins is omitting the "git" command in "git init" which expectedly fails the build.

What I see on the failing node is this:

> init /home/hudson/build/workspace/androidplatform_pipeline # timeout=10

On my working node, running the exact same pipeline script, I see this:

> git init /home/hudson/build/workspace/androidplatform_pipeline # timeout=10

Both of my nodes are Amazon EC2 instances, so I tried deleting the failing one and replacing it with a clone of the working one, but the "git" command is still being omitted.

Maybe this issue has been addressed? I've had a hard time structuring useful a query string for this issue.

Thanks!
