TypeScript SonarQube Scan in Docker Container

Question

I am trying to build my TypeScript application through a Jenkins pipeline. To manage the build, test and code quality scan I am having Jenkins use a Docker agent based on node:7-alpine.

The Dockerfile for my container is:

FROM node:7-alpine

RUN npm install -g gulp sonarqube-scanner

My Jenkins file looks like:

pipeline {
   agent {
      dockerfile { dir 'build-image' }
   }
    stages {
        stage('Build') {
            steps {
                  sh 'npm install'
                  sh 'npm run build'
            }       
        }
        stage("SonarQube Analysis") {
           steps{
              sh 'gulp sonar'
           }
        }

Everything seems to be ok until sonar is run. When it runs I get the error:

I have played around with just the node:7-alpine container and I get the same error. What's odd is that the container has the java executable but it does not seem to be recognized:

I had the same error. I don't know the reason of this error, but the workaround was using the non-alpine version of node. Maybe you could use a multistage docker build so your final image is based on alpine version anyway.
