TLDR: The line “Jenkinsfile (Declarative Pipeline)” in the Jenkins get started page is just a comment, don’t paste it in the Jenkins file.
Following the steps in https://www.jenkins.io/doc/pipeline/tour/hello-world/ to try out Jenkins Pipeline, got below error during build:

I uploaded the Jenkinsfile to the github repo and provide it as a Git source when creating the Jenkins Job.
If I use the Scripted Pipeline, I got the same error.
Downgrade pipeline (to the same version), didn’t help.
Uninstall Pipeline: Declarative and Pipeline, restart Jenkins (
The first time I install Jenkins, there’s some network issue when installing plugins, I retried installing the plugins at that time, everything looks good but failed. Try reinstalling the whole jenkins this time.
[root@jenkins-host ~]# rm -rf .jenkins/ .groovy/
[root@jenkins-host ~]# java -Dhttp.proxyHost=some.proxy.host -Dhttp.proxyPort=1234 -Dhttps.proxyHost=some.otherorsame.host -Dhttps.proxyPort=2345 -jar jenkins.war –httpPort=8080
Issue persist.
After reaching out to my colleague, my colleague pointed me out that the first line is just a comment. After removing the first line, and using a much simpler Jenkinsfile like below, the build got succeed.
