No such DSL method 'waitForQualityGate' found among steps

Question

I have problem with method waitForQualityGate() . I got an error "No such DSL method 'waitForQualityGate' found among steps". Another strange thing is that I must use parameter -DX for sonarscanner. I don't know what is wrong. Thanks for help.

pipeline {
agent { label 'builders' }

tools {
    maven 'maven 3.3.9'
}

stages {
    stage ('Checkout'){
        steps {
            git branch: 'develop', credentialsId: 'credential', url: 'ssh://repository'
        }
    }
    stage ('Build'){
        steps {

            }
        }
    }
    stage ('SonarQube Scan'){
        steps {

                }

            } // SonarQube taskId is automatically attached to the pipeline context
        }
    }
    stage ('Quality Gate') {
        steps {
                timeout(time: 1, unit: 'HOURS') { // Just in case something goes wrong, pipeline will be killed after a timeout
                script {
                    def qg = waitForQualityGate() // Reuse taskId previously collected by withSonarQubeEnv
                    if (qg.status != 'OK') {
                        error "Pipeline aborted due to quality gate failure: ${qg.status}"
                    }
                }
            }
        }   
    }
}

This will not be an immediate answer, but the reason for the error is, you are calling a custom method without even loading it initially. Load the groovy file that have the method, which jenkins is complaining that dsl doesn't exist... only when you load the groovy file/the class, then you can instantiate it.

Cannot do this, without loading it ... def qg = waitForQualityGate() If its a method, u have to call it and it should return something...
