Jenkins - maven project fails at Build stage

Question

I'm running a Jenkins Maven Project using Docker, and I keep getting this error at the build stage:

 [simple-java-maven-app] Running shell script
sh: can't create /var/jenkins_home/workspace/simple-java-maven-app@tmp/durable-bae402a9/jenkins-log.txt: nonexistent directory
sh: can't create /var/jenkins_home/workspace/simple-java-maven-app@tmp/durable-bae402a9/jenkins-result.txt: nonexistent directory

To fix this, you need to change 2 things.

• docker run args
• Jenkinsfile docker agent args

For my own usage, I used this

docker run -d \
  --env "JENKINS_HOME=$HOME/Library/Jenkins" \
  --restart always \
  --name jenkins \
  -u root \
  -p 8080:8080 \
  -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
  -v $HOME/Library/Jenkins:$HOME/Library/Jenkins \
  -v "$HOME":/home \
  jenkinsci/blueocean

In the Jenkinsfile, replace the agent part

by

agent {
  docker {
    image 'maven:3-alpine'
    args '-v <host_home_path>/.m2:/root/.m2'
  }
