Jenkins executing maven from incorrect path

Question

This happens for both: maven projects, and freestyle projects, when maven target is envoked, it tries to execute mvn using absolute path.

[MY-Job] $ tools/Maven/Jenkins_Private_Maven/bin/mvn -f cc/pom.xml -Ddeploy_env=xxx.dev.prv   -Dbranch=dev -D-Dsmdist.target=/opt/builds -U clean test -DtestGroups=unit,delegate -Do verride:server=xxx.dev.prv
FATAL: command execution failed 
java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "tools/Maven/Jenkins_Private_Maven/bin/mvn" (in    directory "workspace/MY-Job"): java.io.IOException: error=2, No such file or directory

I can see that mvn is installed at user's home :

/home/jenkins/tools/Maven/Jenkins_Private_Maven/bin/mvn

but it's trying to run it from the workspace:

/home/jenkins/workspace/MY-Job/tools/Maven/Jenkins_Private_Maven/bin/mvn

Add the default maven installation under (Jenkins -> configuration)
Goto the failing job and make sure you choose the default maven installation from dropdown
Run the job. Success!

In new Jenkins version 2.x it's under Global Tool Configuration under Manage Jenkins and 2nd step is not required. I'm not sure with newer version is it necessary at all ? – vikramvi Oct 07 '16 at 13:16

Are you sure you have set up Maven in Jenkins -> configuration like this

enter image description here

I have hunch you have a accidental **"."** current directory reference somewhere in your maven set up.

This looks like an auto installed Maven by Jenkins. In which case the previous answers are not correct.

It would seem in this occasion that you have not specified a "remote fs root" for your slave in the salve setup - later versions of Jenkins flag not setting this up correctly as an error.

if maven have installed, then uncheck 'Install automatically' and specify maven name and path. Finally specify maven name in job config instead default – frank Mar 31 '18 at 02:16
