Jenkins : java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: No such DSL method '$' found among steps - jenkins

Question

I am trying to read a file inside jenkins pipeline.
#!groovy
// pipeline config
def javaAgent = 'build && java'
def environment = "test"
def machineName = "dev1"
#Library(['my-lib#feature/jenkins-pipeline-for-index-creation']) _
// pipeline
node(javaAgent) {
properties([
[$class: 'BuildDiscarderProperty', strategy: [$class: 'LogRotator',daysToKeepStr: '1', numToKeepStr: '4']],
parameters([
choice(
choices: ["test","production"].join("\n"),
defaultValue: 'test',
description: 'Env for Index deployment',
name: 'environment'
)
])
])
try{
stage('Collect info') {
checkout scm
}
stage('Creating Indexes'){
environment=params.environment
if(environment=="production"){
machineName = "prod1"
}
myVar.createIndexes environment: environment,
deployToMachine: machineName
}
} catch (e){
pcSlack.notify channel:"ksr", message: ${environment}+" Couchbase index creation failed : "+e
currentBuild.result = 'FAILURE'
}
}
For that, i have defined below function in a library which I have imported in my jenkins file.
void createIndexes(Map args) {
String files = sh script: "ls -lart", returnStdout: true
echo "workspace files: ${files}"
def filePath = readFile('./indexes/test.txt')
def queries = filePath.readLines()
//To-do Add code for reading queries
}
However, i keep getting below exception.

Further, if i remove the readFile function call, my jenkins pipeline executes successfully.
Any idea what is the issue here?

Answer 1

The slack statement in catch block has wrong syntax for string concatenation, ${environment} should either be wrapped in double quotes (") or ${} removed to fix the issue:
pcSlack.notify channel:"ksr", message: "${environment}"+" Couchbase index creation failed : "+e
pcSlack.notify channel:"ksr", message: environment+" Couchbase index creation failed : "+e
Or all in a single string:
pcSlack.notify channel:"ksr", message: "${environment} Couchbase index creation failed : ${e}"
