You need to use brackets when using the fileExists step in an if condition or assign the returned value to a variable

Using variable:

def exists = fileExists 'file'

if (exists) {
    echo 'Yes'
} else {
    echo 'No'
}

Using brackets:

if (fileExists('file')) {
    echo 'Yes'
} else {
    echo 'No'
}
