Jenkinsfile not found

Question

I'm just starting out with Jenkins, and can't seem to get it to work. I created a text file called 'Jenkinsfile' in the root directory of my repository, but when I try to buil I'm getting the error "‘Jenkinsfile’ not found Does not meet criteria". This is the full Jenkins output:

Totally new to this, so I appreciate any help.

The '.txt' extension may be the issue: Jenkins is looking for 'Jenkinsfile' without extension. git mv Jenkinsfile.txt Jenkinsfile && git commit will rename the file.
