Define environment variables with agent none in Jenkins pipeline - jenkins

Question

I have a pipeline where I do:
#!/bin/groovy
pipeline {
agent none
environment {
agent any
INSTANCE_NAME = "Jenk"
}
stages {
stage("Print Debug Vars"){
steps {
sh 'echo "INSTANCE_NAME is $INSTANCE_NAME"'
}
}
stage("Git Checkout") {
agent { label 'docker' }
steps {
// ...
}
}
}
stage("Ansible Galaxy"){
agent { label 'ansible' }
steps {
// ...
}
}
}
}
Problem I that if I put
agent any
in environment section, it says:
WorkflowScript: 6: "agent any" is not a valid environment expression. Use "key = value" pairs with valid Java/shell keys. # line 6, column 5.
agent any
^
WorkflowScript: 5: Expected name=value pairs # line 5, column 5.
environment {
^
And if I don't put it, I get:
Required context class hudson.Launcher is missing
Perhaps you forgot to surround the code with a step that provides this, such as: node
[Pipeline] // withCredentials
[Pipeline] }
[Pipeline] // withEnv
[Pipeline] End of Pipeline

How should I do it ?

Answer 1

have you tried to use only agent with any value, like this :
#!/bin/groovy
pipeline {
agent any
stages {
stage("Print Debug Vars"){
steps {
sh 'echo "INSTANCE_NAME is $INSTANCE_NAME"'
}
}
stage("Git Checkout") {
agent { label 'docker' }
steps {
// ...
}
}
}
stage("Ansible Galaxy"){
agent { label 'ansible' }
steps {
// ...
}
}
}
}
