[JENKINS-49600] Ant in pipeline DSL doesn't import env vars correctly.

[jenkins-infra-bot]

The DSL

 

pipeline {
    agent {
        node {
            label 'lowpriority'
        }
    }
    environment {
        BRANCH_NAME = 'feature/jenkins-pipline-poc'
    }
    tools {
        ant 'Ant 1.9'
        jdk 'wca-jdk-prod'
    }
    stages{
        stage ('Checkout') {
            steps {
                cleanWs()
                checkout scm
            }
        }
        stage ('Build') {
            
            steps {
               sh "ant clean -v"
            }
        }
    }
}

Ant property "build-common-ant.dir" depends on ENV vars "NODE_NAME" and "EXECUTOR_NUMBER"

It get following errors

[property] Loading Environment env.
Property "NODE_NAME" has not been set
Property "EXECUTOR_NUMBER" has not been set

It works if I modify the ant step like this.

steps {
   sh '''#!/bin/bash
         env > env.props
         source env.props
         ant clean -v
      '''
}
