      Pipeline: Declarative 1.7.2
      Kubernetes plugin 1.27.1.1

    Description

      The following declarative pipeline does not run the desired code in the JNLP container:

      final pod = '''
      apiVersion: v1
      kind: Pod
      spec:
        containers:
          - name: busybox
            image: busybox
            command: ['/bin/sh', '-c', 'sleep infinity & wait']
      '''
      
      final block = {
        sh returnStdout: true, script: 'git --version'
      }
      
      pipeline {
        agent {
          kubernetes {
            yaml pod
            defaultContainer 'busybox'
          }
        }
      
        environment {
          one = container('jnlp', block)
          two = container('jnlp') {
            sh returnStdout: true, script: 'git --version'
          }
        }
      
        stages {
          stage('A') {
            steps {
              sh 'echo $one'
              sh 'echo $two'
            }
          }
        }
      }
      

      So the assignment of environment variable one succeeds but two fails with a message like:

      /home/jenkins/agent/workspace/_test@tmp/durable-96f999a3/script.sh: line 1: git: not found

          Looks like a declarative bug, or an unsupported syntax. Doesn't seem to be related to the kubernetes plugin.

          Attached the generated step tree view from the above pipeline, we can clearly see the second call isn't nested under container('jnlp').
