Invalid Version Format Issue with CMake in Jenkins

Question

I am encountering an inconsistency when executing CMake through Jenkins compared to my local environment.

Locally, I utilise build.sh to run CMake without any issues. However, in Jenkins, I get the following error:

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:49 (project):
    
VERSION "-128-NOTFOUND.-128-NOTFOUND.-128-NOTFOUND" format invalid.

The related section in CMakeLists.txt (line 49) is:

project(myproject VERSION ${VERSION_MAJOR}.${VERSION_MINOR}.${VERSION_PATCH}
  DESCRIPTION "myproject"
  LANGUAGES C CXX)
set(CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS ON) 

I tried clearing cache on Jenkinsfile like this, but never worked:

stage("Cmake") {
  steps {
    script {
      // Clear CMake Cache 
      def clearcache = "${WORKSPACE}/build"
      sh "rm -rf ${clearcache}" // Modified to remove directory recursively
      cmakeRun()
    }
  }
}

Why might this version format error be occurring only in Jenkins, and how can I resolve it?
