      Dockerfiles are allowed to have ARG directives before the FROM directive, in which case the value for FROM can reference build arguments:

      ARG TAG
      FROM alpine:$TAG

      Using docker.build('foo', '--build-arg TAG=3.7 .') in scripted pipeline on such a Dockerfile fails with:

      java.io.IOException: Cannot retrieve .Id from 'docker inspectalpine:$TAG'
