Android Emulator Plugin Failed to Initialize backend EGL display

Question

I set up a Jenkins Job on Cloudbees and I can successfully checkout and compile my Android project there. Now I would like to run some JUnit tests in the android emulator and added the Android emulator plugin. I set the “Show Emulator Window“ option to false but after startup of the emulator I always get the error message: “Emulator did not appear to start; giving up”. Has anyone experience with Android builds on Cloudbees?

Build log:

Compare your job configuration with https://partnerdemo.ci.cloudbees.com/job/Android-dev/job/stockfish-android-cloud/, paying particular attention to the following settings:

Inject env var: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/android/android-sdk-linux/tool/lib
Target ABI: armeabi-v7a
Advanced -> Emulator Options: -no-audio -gpu off
Advanced -> Emulator Executable: emulator64-arm
