hudson*.groovy not found in jenkins

Question

I am trying to configure jenkins job with groovy scripts, I donot know what I am doing wrong with the configuration that I could not execute even a simple groovy command like

println System.getenv("PATH")

it shows the following stack trace when the jenkins tries to build then following error is thrown

I am using default groovy version in jenkins configuration and have installed the jenkins plugins for groovy.

I am new to both jenkins and groovy. Thanks in advance.

You need to have an install of Groovy which your Jenkins can see - which is the default option

Alternatively, you can add one in the global config

which can then be used in the build step
