Jenkins pipeline branch name returns null

Question

I\'m trying to get the name of my branch for a jenkins groovy script. I cannot get the current branch name. I try the following:

stage(\'Check out code\')
ch

From a simple pipeline you can use the following script:

\\...
stage('Test') {
        steps {
            script {
                branchName = sh(label: 'getBranchName', returnStdout: true, script: 'git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD').trim()
                println branchName
            }   
        }
      } 
\\...
