Plugin unable to find existing tool path

Jenkins and plugins versions report

Environment

Paste the output here

What Operating System are you using (both controller, and any agents involved in the problem)?

Windows 10 (Latest) (PC | Kubernates)

Ubuntu (Latest) (Kubernates)

Reproduction steps

1. https://plugins.jenkins.io/plasticscm-plugin/ outlines the tool configuration has to be set up if not set it will use the existing node configuration.
2. But when even I didn't set the configuration also it is trying to install the latest client and getting failed even the latest plastic client is installed in the node
3. I tried the cm version command by myself it is printing the result but the plugin is still unable to find it.
4. In nodes the download is getting failed due to the proxy server doesn't allow the installation. so, the pipeline is getting failed due to this.
5. The Command I have used is as very old one
   scmVars = cm (branch: "${Branch_Name}", changeset: "${Change_set}", cleanup: 'DELETE', repository: "${Repo_Name}", server: "${Plastic_Server}:${Plastic_Port}")
   (which should use the existing configuration and system client path)
6. I am also facing this in the Linux OS too.

Expected Results

11.0.16.7303
[Pipeline] }
[Pipeline] // withCredentials
[Pipeline] cm

Hi @krishna3008 ,

Thanks for your report. From the output trace you shared, the plugin is unable to find the cm tool installed in the container.

• How did you install that global cm for the machine? What's its current location?
• What's the value for the PATH environment value in the current session for the running process? Can you share it with us?
