Step to obtain raw contextual objects

XMLWordPrintable

      Sometimes it is useful to directly work with Jenkins model objects from a Workflow, such as the FilePath representing the workspace for the enclosing node block. Currently you cannot access these. It would be useful to have a Step which just gave access to a specified contextual object (given as a String class name I suppose). Typically you would need to run in whole-script approval mode, since relevant methods on such objects are not likely to be safe to whitelist for use from the sandbox.

          Might be useful in some cases for JENKINS-37011.

          For JENKINS-37011 or trusted libraries it would perhaps be useful to have two (advanced!) steps: context, taking a Class (no need for Snippetizer support), and returning Object; and withContext, taking Object and a block. The combination could allow AntStepExecution in ant PR 22 to bypass ConsoleLogFilterStep.
