Getting error after Jenkins update: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: No such DSL method 'pipeline' found among steps

[Shifa Shaikh]

My Jenkins pipeline is failing after I updated by Jenkins version from 2.224 to 2.234 along with all the plugins to the latest version.

Below is my pipeline script was working fine on older Jenkins and older plugin.

With Jenkins and plugin update, the pipeline is failing.

pipeline { 
agent none 
    stages { 
     stage ("Check Parameters") {
       steps { 
          echo "In pipeline" 
          script { echo "Start condition check" } 
                                } 
             } 
           }
    }

I get the following Error when i run the pipeline.

[Pipeline] Start of Pipeline
[Pipeline] End of Pipeline

I do see downgrade button next to a few plugins. 

However, do not wish to downgrade due to vulnerability and bug fixes.

Can you please suggest some solution please ?
