How to add a jmeter build step to jenkins pipeline when using jmeter maven plugin - jenkins

Question

I have two stages on jenkins pipeline, and it is expecting to add steps in execute jmeter stage
Could someone help to resolve this....
I got below error:
org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed:
WorkflowScript: 339: Expected one of "steps", "stages", or "parallel" for stage "Execute Jmeter" # line 339, column 9.
stage('Execute Jmeter') {
Below is the code snippet of jenkins pipeline:
pipeline {
agent {
label 'qatest'
}
tools {
maven 'Maven'
jdk 'JDK8'
}
environment {
VIRTUOSO_URL = 'qa.myapp.com'
}
stages {
stage('BUILD') {
steps {
sh 'mvn clean verify'
}
}
stage('Execute Jmeter') {
post{
always{
dir("scenarioLoadTests/target/jmeter/results/"){
sh 'pwd'
sh 'mv *myapp_UserLoginAndLogout.csv UserLoginAndLogout.csv '
sh 'mv *myapp_myappPortfolioScenario.csv myappPortfolioScenario.csv '
sh 'mv *myapp_myappDesign.csv myappDesign.csv '
perfReport '*.csv'
}
}
}
}
}
}

Answer 1

Shouldn't you use script blocks like:
pipeline {
agent {
label 'qatest'
}
tools {
maven 'Maven'
jdk 'JDK8'
}
environment {
VIRTUOSO_URL = 'qa.myapp.com'
}
stages {
stage('BUILD') {
steps {
script { // <----------------- here
sh 'mvn clean verify'
}
}
}
stage('Execute Jmeter') {
post {
always {
dir('scenarioLoadTests/target/jmeter/results/') {
script { <-------------------------------------- and here
sh 'pwd'
sh 'mv *myapp_UserLoginAndLogout.csv UserLoginAndLogout.csv '
sh 'mv *myapp_myappPortfolioScenario.csv myappPortfolioScenario.csv '
sh 'mv *myapp_myappDesign.csv myappDesign.csv '
perfReport '*.csv'
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
