Sparse checkout leaves no entry on working directory

I was trying to use Sparse checkout option to reduce the size of checkout in my Jenkins Pipeline. It worked for some time and then when I did small modifications to the script (not in the checkout section), I started getting this error

pipeline {
  agent none
    parameters {
      string(name: 'CommitID', defaultValue: '', description: 'This is to take the commitID for checkout')
      choice choices: ['FRST', 'QA', 'PROD'], description: 'Please select the environment to which the package needs to be deployed', name: 'depServer'
  }
  options {
        buildDiscarder logRotator(artifactDaysToKeepStr: '', artifactNumToKeepStr: '', daysToKeepStr: '', numToKeepStr: '5')
  }
  stages {
    stage('CodePull-Linux') {
      agent {
        node {
          label 'Master'
        }
      }
      steps {
        timestamps() {
            echo "Hello"
          // Checkout code from github incase commitID from the past is given
checkout([$class: 'GitSCM', branches: [[name: "${params.CommitID}"]], doGenerateSubmoduleConfigurations: false, extensions: [[$class: 'SparseCheckoutPaths', sparseCheckoutPaths: [[path: 'LINUX']]], [$class: 'CleanBeforeCheckout']], submoduleCfg: [], userRemoteConfigs: [[credentialsId: 'fceddep', url: '<git_url>']]])        
          
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Git repository has folder LINUX in it. and I am using commit ID 8c544c33e438965f97039bceb885940023e20257 in paramters enter image description here

I get the following error:

Then I removed the sparse checkout extension

Jenkins pipeline After:

pipeline {
  agent none
    parameters {
      string(name: 'CommitID', defaultValue: '', description: 'This is to take the commitID for checkout')
      choice choices: ['FRST', 'QA', 'PROD'], description: 'Please select the environment to which the package needs to be deployed', name: 'depServer'
  }
  options {
        buildDiscarder logRotator(artifactDaysToKeepStr: '', artifactNumToKeepStr: '', daysToKeepStr: '', numToKeepStr: '5')
  }
  stages {
    stage('CodePull-Linux') {
      agent {
        node {
          label 'Master'
        }
      }
      steps {
        timestamps() {
            echo "Hello"
          // Checkout code from github incase commitID from the past is given
checkout([$class: 'GitSCM', branches: [[name: "${params.CommitID}"]], doGenerateSubmoduleConfigurations: false, extensions: [[$class: 'CleanBeforeCheckout']], submoduleCfg: [], userRemoteConfigs: [[credentialsId: 'fceddep', url: '[email protected]:FC-MIS/DS_FCNA_GDW.git']]])
          
        }
      }
    }
  }

I still get error related to sparse checkout

I did not figure out the root cause for this behavior yet. However I was able to get past this error by deleting the job and creating another one with same script. Not sure if some old runs were messing with the new ones in workspace.

Thank you all!
