Jenkins unable to use docker agent in pipeline

Hello !

I am running Jenkins in Docker container but getting the below error while running a pipeline job. The below pipeline snippet checks if maven is being used or not, it throws below error message.

Installed Plugins are,

  1. Docker plugin
  2. Docker pipeline

Additionally, I also configured docker on Jenkins UI, under tools section. Can someone suggest over this ?

Pipeline snippet:

pipeline {
agent {
docker {
image ‘maven:latest’
}
}
stages {
stage (‘Check’) {
steps {
sh ‘mvn -v’
}
}
}
}

Seems docker is not in the path of the user running jenkins. the user also needs to be in the docker group so it can successfully run docker commands

And when the user is in the Docker group and yet this error occurs?
