How to use Jenkins String Parameter in pipeline

Question

We am using Jenkins Pipeline to configure jobs in jenkins. For a bunch of jobs we need user input for which we use parameterised build where user can input parameter values and later we use the values in our .jenkinsfile in sh like

 sh "./build-apply.sh ${accountnumber} ${volumename} ${vpcname} services ${snapshotid}"

This used to work with

Jenkins 2.16
Pipeline 2.3
Groovy 2.15

However, when I rebuild Jenkins to:

2.16 or latest 2.26
Pipeline 2.5
Pipeline: Groovy 2.19

The above sh stopped working. Error being

groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: accountnumber for class: groovy.lang.Binding

Any idea what I am missing? Is the syntax not correct?

For reference full Jenkinsfile for reference

node {
  // Mark the code checkout 'stage'....


  stage 'Checkout'
  git branch: '****', credentialsId: '***', url: '****'

  stage 'Provision Volume'
  withCredentials([[$class: 'AmazonWebServicesCredentialsBinding', accessKeyVariable: '*****',
                    credentialsId: '****',
                    secretKeyVariable: '*****']]) {
    // Run the terraform build
    env.PATH = "${env.PATH}:/jenkins/terraform"
    sh "./build-apply.sh ${accountnumber} ${volumename} ${vpcname} services ${snapshotid}"
  }
}

Where do you expect accountnumber, volumename, vpcname, and snapshotid to come from? Are you running the job with the right parameters? — mkobit
These are set as parameters on the job, this job has parameters with these names. So this comes from user input and are set. — user3073335
Can you please share those parameters definition from this Jenkinsfile? — hakamairi

Copy and paste the below code in the pipeline script node: {

stage ('BCCdlVsLib') {
build job: 'BCCdlVsLib', parameters:
[
    [$class: 'StringParameterValue', name: 'BINPATH', value: 'BINPATH'], 
    [$class: 'StringParameterValue', name: 'SOURCEFILE', value: 'SOURCEFILE']
        ]
}

In the jobs (BCCdlVsLib) enable the option "this project is parametrized" and enter 2 string parameters job_binpath,job_sourcefile.

Print the variables in the pipeline jobs echo job_binpath echo job_sourcefile

After run the pipeline job,will get the below output. BINPATH SOURCEFILE
