Hi
i have a controller jenkins file as follows

pipeline {
    agent any

    parameters {
        choice(
            name: 'APPLICATION',
            choices : ['Option A', 'Option B', 'Option C'],
            description: 'Choose the Application to Deploy'
        )
    }

    environment {
        ACTION = 'Test action'
    }

    stages {
        stage('Load and Execute Other Jenkinsfiles') {
            steps {
                script {
                    switch (APPLICATION) {
                        case 'Option A':
            sh 'ls -al'
                                                      echo 'I am option A from master'

                            build job: 'Jenkinsfile-A', parameters: [
                                string(name: 'ACTION', value: "${ACTION}")
                                )
                            ]
                            break
                        case 'Option B':
                            sh 'ls -al'
                            echo 'I am option b from master'

                            build job: './Jenkinsfile-B', parameters: [
                                string(name: 'ACTION', value: "${ACTION}")
                              )
                            ]
                            break
                         case 'Option C':
                            sh 'ls -al'
                            echo 'I am option A with build job '

                            build job: 'Jenkinsfile-A', parameters: [
                                string(name: 'ACTION', value: "${ACTION}")
                               )
                            ]
                            break
                        default:
                            error "Unknown application: ${APPLICATION}"
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

    post {
        success {
            echo 'Test job completed'
        }
        failure {
            echo 'Test job failed'
        }
    }
}

From this controller jenkins file i want to call the other jenkins file in the same folder. Example of jenkinfile-A is as follows

pipeline {
    agent none

    environment {
        ACTION = 'I am file A'
    }

    stages {
        stage('Deploy Application on AWS') {
            agent any
            steps {
                script {
                    echo 'I am in this step in jenkins file a '
                    echo "${ACTION}"
                }
            }
        }
    }
    post {
        success {
            echo 'Job A success'
        }
        failure {
            echo 'Job A failed'
        }
    }
}

When i do an ls -l of the folder i have the following files

ls
Jenkinsfile-A  Jenkinsfile-B  master-Jenkinsfile

When i run this job in jenkins server it is not able to find the file and returns the error Jenkinsfile-A is not found

You can’t directly call Jenkinsfiles. You must create a job in Jenkins that makes use of the Jenkinsfile. Then you can use the build step to call that other job that uses Jenkinsfile-A
