Hello, I am trying to create a job using the job dsl.  
My code is present in github. I have created the admin-seedjob pipeline and the definition of the pipeline is as follows :-  
Definition :- Pipeline script from SCM  
REPO USR -: [XYZ.github.com/.../....git](http://XYZ.github.com/.../....git)  
Script Path :- PATH TO MY Script :-

def gitUrl = “[GitHub - kjaindevops/jenkins-jobs-group: Jenkins Job DSL scripts to create jobs and views](https://github.com/kjaindevops/jenkins-jobs-group.git)”  
def jobDslScript = “pipelines/group/functions\_terraform/fms\_pipelines\_rnd\_seedjob.groovy”

pipelineJob(‘Folder1/Folder2/Folder-3/NAME’) {  
description(‘Pipeline job for validating new groovy jobs’)  
logRotator(30,100)  
parameters{  
choiceParam(‘gitUrl’, [gitUrl], ‘Jenkins Git URL for Terraform repo’)  
choiceParam(‘gitBranchType’, [‘feature’, ‘main’])  
stringParam(‘gitBranchName’, ‘’, ‘Leave blank for Main branch’)  
choiceParam(‘dslScriptDirectory’,  
[  
‘functions\_terraform’  
], ‘select directory where your pipeline definition is located:   
  
it will pick up all the definition macthing patter: jobs/nonprod/group[dslScriptDirectory]/\*\*/\*.groovy  
  
Job will reload pipelines using definition from selected branch.’)  
stringParam(‘dslScriptfilename’, ‘’, ‘ **OPTIONAL** If you want to refresh just one job select directory and provide file name including extension, leave blank for whole directory   
  
jobs/nonprod/group/[dslScriptfile]/[dslScriptfilename]’)  
}  
definition {  
cps {  
script(readFileFromWorkspace(jobDslScript))  
sandbox()  
}  
}  
}

But when i am running the jenkins pipeline its throwin me the below error :-

Also: org.jenkinsci.plugins.workflow.actions.ErrorAction$ErrorId: 08813415-cfe5-4ead-a03e-b1f65c9f1192

But when i am simply creating a freestyle project and under the job dsl script i am giving  
pipelineJob(‘example’) {  
description(‘Test’)  
}  
Its creating the pipeline.

I have all the required plugins installed.  
Jenkins version :- [Jenkins 2.401.1]
