How to solve Error: docker: Error response from daemon: the working directory is invalid

Question

I am just starting to use Jenkins and Docker in Windows10. Currently I have installed both Jenkins and Docker and created a Dockerfile and a Jenkinsfile

Unfortunately whenever I try to build in Jenkins I keep getting an error. Below is the Jenkin logs

Your Dockerized Jenkins instance is attempting to use the Docker API to spin up a new Docker container to do your build in. This Docker API it wants to talk to is the same Docker daemon that Jenkins itself is running in.

On a normal Docker daemon running on Linux, you would simply pass in the Docker socket at /var/run/docker.sock as a volume to the Jenkins container (e.g. a -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock argument to your docker run command).

However, on Docker for Windows, you are running Docker in a Linux VM on Windows (either by WSL2 or Hyper-V). Depending on how you have your Docker environment setup, you can try to bind the Docker socket in your Jenkins container using one of the following:

-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
-v //var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
-v tcp://127.0.0.1:2376:/var/run/docker.sock

I've seen some solutions do this in addition to one of the above, in order to perform some hacks for Docker for Windows:

-v /usr/local/bin/docker:/usr/bin/docker

Or, a better solution that requires less hacks: Do this in a proper Linux OS install. Docker for Windows should not be used in production environments.
