Initial run of parameterized pipeline always fails the first time

      The first run of a pipeline that has parameters will fail when execution reaches any reference to a parameterized variable. Subsequent runs of that pipeline will have the default value set properly and will behave normally.

      I was explicitly told to open a new issue, despite there being two tickets closed that seem to be this exact problem, with one being supposedly fixed in workflow-cps-plugin version 2.19 (https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-35698).

      An example of a pipeline that will fail (copied from https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-37330, which was closed as a duplicate of JENKINS-35698):

      properties ([[
  $class: 'ParametersDefinitionProperty',
  parameterDefinitions: [[
    $class: 'StringParameterDefinition',
    name: 'dependency_revision',
    defaultValue: 'master',
    description: 'Revision of dependency project to build'
    ]]
  ]])
echo "Verifying build with dependency project version ${dependency_revision}"

      Will fail with an error like the following:

      groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: dependency_revision for class: groovy.lang.Binding
