It is not enough to just add the xvfb plugin, you additionally have to add a default installation in global tool configuration view in Jenkins.

To resolve this error on a Jenkins server we have admin access to, one would go to Manage Jenkins -> Global Tool Configuration (at the bottom of the page) and add a default xvfb installation (as shown):

@smlambert I think you were going to help resolve this?
