ecr login from Jenkins returns unknown flag: --password-stdin

Question

I'm trying to login to ecr to pull the image from Jenkins using

sh '''aws ecr get-login-password --region us-east-1 | docker login
--username AWS --password-stdin .dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com'''

But it returns

+ aws ecr get-login-password --region us-east-1
+ docker login --username AWS --password-stdin {account-id}.dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com
unknown flag: --password-stdin
See 'docker login --help'.

It is expecting some alternative for docker --password-stdin. Needed help in running this command from Jenkins for pulling the docker image from ecr. Thanks in advance!

--password-stdin expects the password from standard input hence using the below code in jenkins script solved my problem!

sh '''docker login -u AWS https://<>.dkr.ecr.<>.amazonaws.com -p $(aws ecr get-login-password --region us-east-1)'''

I have the same problem, I result it by using the docker plugin instead of the command shown in AWS

Indeed, check this blog that allows you to connect to the AWS easily && Push or Pull the images from AWS ECR https://betterprogramming.pub/how-to-push-a-docker-image-to-amazon-ecr-with-jenkins-ed4b042e141a
