Jenkins Groovy unix Script Error java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 'boolean mightBePositionalArgumen-CodePudding

I am trying to to create Jenkins pipeline and have the below line which I copied from existing working pipeline in the same Jenkins instance.

script {
                def GitDValue = sh (
                    script: "pwd",
                    returnStdout: true
                 ).trim()
                echo "GitDirectory: ${GitDValue}"
            }

I replaced actual shell script command with pwd in this question for simplicity. Even pwd fails. I also followed below article to set up my pipeline https://levelup.gitconnected.com/how-to-create-an-automatic-ecs-deployment-with-jenkins-84c0e83e7cd0

Interestingly above code doesn't fail in my local jenkins instance. It only fails in server.

Exception stacktrace is below.

Any help is appreciated.

Finished: FAILURE

[UPDATE] I found a work around for this. Instead of sh (script, returnStdout), I am sending output to file and reading from file. Thanks to another stackoverflow answer.

Now, when I assign that to int , it fails again. If I don't specify datatype, it works fine.

something to do datatypes int, true

It worked after updating groovy.
