I spend several days setting up the file /etc/sudoers to be able to give permissions to root to the user jenkins. I have Jenkins installed on my server because I host several projects with symfony, ionic, neo4j, etc... The problem is that I can not do build in the projects with ionic, I get this error:sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified. This is the content of my /etc/sudoers file:

#
# This file MUST be edited with the 'visudo' command as root.
#
# Please consider adding local content in /etc/sudoers.d/ instead of
# directly modifying this file.
#
# See the man page for details on how to write a sudoers file.
#
Defaults    env_reset
Defaults    mail_badpass
Defaults    secure_path="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin"

# Host alias specification

# User alias specification

# Cmnd alias specification

# User privilege specification
root    ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
jenkins ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
# Allow members of group sudo to execute any command
%sudo   ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

I've tested the solution described by @Jayan in the comments of the question. You must include the new line at the end of the file:
