title: exception while executing groovy script from jenkinsfile groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: args for class: groovy.lang.Binding
body: <p>I am trying to execute "myGroovyScript.groovy" from a jenkinsfile which is running at a remote server. Groovy script is kept in a path in server (not checked in scm). But I am getting exception. Is there a better way to do if I checkin the groovy script in github in same repo where jenkinsfile is also there.</p>
  
  <p>I have a jenkinsfile as below</p>
  
  <pre><code>node('abcd'){
  
          def buildInput;
  
        echo 'Deploying build'
       if(!params.buildName) {
           buildInput = input(
                            id: 'userInput', message: 'What is the build name?', parameters: [
                            [$class: 'TextParameterDefinition', defaultValue: 'BuildNameIsABC', description: 'Environment', name: 'buildName']
                            ])
        }
        buildToUse = params.buildName ? params.buildName : buildInput;
        echo ("Env: "+buildToUse);
  
        if ( "${params.buildParam}" == 'prequal' || !params.buildParam ){
  
          stage('Prequal') {
                  echo 'Checking prequal status for my product build'
              def rootDir = '/home/pathToGroovyScript'
              def example = load "${rootDir}myGroovyScript.groovy"
  }
