How can I run a Jenkinsfile from a particular folder

I am new to Jenkins. I am trying to run a Freestyle Jenkins project in which I want to execute a Jenkinsfile from a particular folder. Now, when I run the project the Jenkinsfile is not detected. Path to my Jenkinsfile: /pipelinescript/Jenkinsfile

Consider the below points: The Freestyle project of Jenkins has some trouble calling Jenkinsfile. I would suggest you to select a Pipeline job to use the Jenkinsfile. Here, just give the path to the Jenkinsfile. Consider the below screenshot:

To load a jenkins file from a custom location, you have to do like this by adding this line to the script.

load "/<custom path here>/Jenkinsfile"

Try mentioning absolute path to your jenkins file instead of /pipelinescript/Jenkinsfile. Hope this helps as it worked for me.

Try loading using the following syntax

"/<custom path here>/Jenkinsfile"

As when you don't use the "/" before the path it selects the current workspace and loads from it. If you want to select a custom location add the entire path with a slash prefix.
