Answer 1

I tried entering all these commands in the jenkins snippet generator for pipeline and it gave the following output:

sh '''         echo "Executing Tests"
         URL=`curl -s "http://localhost:4040/api/tunnels/command_line" | jq -r \'.public_url\'`
         echo $URL
         RESULT=`curl -sPOST "https://api.ghostinspector.com/v1/suites/[redacted]/execute/?apiKey=[redacted]&startUrl=$URL" | jq -r \'.code\'`
         echo $RESULT
'''

Notice the escaped single quotes in the commands jq -r \'.public_url\' and jq -r \'.code\'. Using the code this way solved the problem

UPDATE: : After a while even that started to give problems. There were certain commands executing prior to these commands. One of them was grunt serve and the other was ./ngrok http 9000. I added some delay after each of these commands and it solved the problem for now.
