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

Build step 'Execute Groovy script' marked build as failure

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
