Good Day,
I am trying to setup our Gauge Project in Jenkins in a Docker. I followed the Gauge Docs and use the Selenium project in the Gauge Docs but still I can't get past this error in my Pipeline:

Can someone please help me?

Have you tried running the test using the Gauge Gradle plugin instead of gauge run specs?

Here’s info about plugin: https://github.com/getgauge/gauge-gradle-plugin
