title: groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: pipeline for class: groovy.lang.Binding
body: <p>I have a simple jenkinsfile as shown below:</p>
  
  <pre><code>pipeline { 
  agent any 
  stages {
      stage('Build') { 
          steps { 
              sh './mvnw compile' 
          }
      }
      stage('Test'){
          steps {
              sh './mvnw test'
          }
      }
    }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and a simple Jenkins pipeline with repository URL and credentials( I can confirm that the credentials are fine because otherwise jenkins gives error rightaway). </p>
  
  <p>But when I run this pipeline, I get error  as follows:</p>

  <p>I am new to groovy, but this seems to be strange. I tried to follow other questions on stackoverflow but with no help. </p>
  
  <p>If anybody has encountered this before, your guidance will help and will be really appreciated. </p>
  
  <p>Thanks a lot,
