Re: "zip" step is not working according to the documentation

I have found the same error, after some time trying to understand why on a simple pipeline works and on a declarative does not, I found that on a script blocks works

This works

 
                                                                pipeline {
    agent any 
    stages{
        stage('test'){
            agent { label 'linux' }
            steps{
                deleteDir()
                sh 'mkdir -p archive'
                sh 'echo test > archive/test.txt'
                script{
                    zip archive: true, dir: 'archive', glob: '', zipFile: 'coverage-files.zip'
                } 
            }
        }
    }
}
 
                                                            

This does not work

 
                                                                pipeline {
    agent any 
    stages{
        stage('test'){
            agent { label 'linux' }
            steps{
                deleteDir()
                sh 'mkdir -p archive'
                sh 'echo test > archive/test.txt'
                //script{ remove the script block
                    zip archive: true, dir: 'archive', glob: '', zipFile: 'coverage-files.zip'
                //} 
            }
        }
    }
}

I am getting a very different error. The code:

    stage('Checkout'){
        checkout scm    // This is only for sample code flow - original code works fine here
    }
    stage('Zip test'){
        zip zipfile: "test.zip", archive: true, dir: "${WORKSPACE}", glob: "Jenkinsfile" 
   }  // Jenkinsfile exists in the repo and is in the ${WORKSPACE} directory for this job
}
