Import properties file from jenkins

I'm using Jenkins 2.289.2 on RHEL8.

I tried to read a property file from the pipeline.

def properties = readProperties file :'my.properties'

When I build the project I got the below error. I installed Plugin Utilities API plugin in Jenkins. Am I missing any steps?

org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed:
WorkflowScript: 35: Expected a step @ line 35, column 9.
            def properties = readProperties file :'my.properties''
            ^

1 error

If you are using a declarative pipeline this kind of statement must reside inside a script block. In general any scripted pipeline syntax or plain groovy DSL should be encapsulated inside a script block when used in a declarative pipeline.
You can read more about it in the Pipeline Syntax documentation.

To solve it try using something like:

pipeline {
   agent any
   stages {
       stage('Hello') {
           steps {
               script {
                   def properties = readProperties file :'my.properties'
                   // Rest of code
               }
           }
       }
   }
}
