On Jenkins, I cannot start appium. Everything is working perfectly fine locally on my mac. What am I doing wrong? I am using java-client-3.3.0
The error message is “The ANDROID_HOME environment variable is not set to the Android SDK root directory path”, even though I have $ANDROID_HOME set properly on the Jenkins machine as below.
*** Error shown in the Jenkins console.

**** My Jenkins shell script
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
export ANDROID_HOME=/usr/local/opt/android-sdk
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin:$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools/
adb devices
echo $PATH
echo $ANDROID_HOME
They all show correct info!
