yes you can do if statements in a Jenkinsfile. However if you are using declarative pipeline you need to brace it with the step script.

Your issue comes from the fact you did not put any double quotes around "abc" and all the elements of your array

infra_services=[abc,def,xyz]

​ A second error will raise after you fix this. If infra_services is an array, to manipulate it you should not try to cast it as string. It should throw when you do "{$Infra_Services}"

here is a working example

​def Infra_Services = ["abc","def","xyz"]

if (Infra_Services.contains("xyz")) {
   println "found"
}​​

My advice is to test your groovy before running it on jenkins, you will gain precious time. Here is a good online groovy console I use to test my code. running the groovy console from terminal is an alternative
