How to create a run object outside of a job?

[Michael Carter]

The situation in a nut shell.   I've got a validation behind a button that calls a REST service to do the validation.   So the validation is happening outside any running job.

The only code I can find to lookup the password for the REST call is this one.

    StandardCredentials credResult = CredentialsProvider.findCredentialById(secretId,
                                                                            StandardCredentials.class,
                                                                            run,
                                                                            Collections.<DomainRequirement>emptyList());

The run parameter can't be null.   So how do I create a dummy run job inside a Jenkins Plugin.   Or better yet create some type of run object that tells where it was running because I'd love to be able to track who's running the command against the credential.  (side project in another place)

You can pass the Jenkins instance as the context.

Jenkins.get()

You cannot. You must not use that method. Find another.

Kind ironic first answer was more helpful because it when it didn't work it forced me to look at the code behind findCredentialById and to this code:

    List<IdCredentials> candidates = new ArrayList<>(
                    CredentialsProvider.lookupCredentials(MyCredentialsImpl.class, (Item)null, null, Collections.<DomainRequirement>emptyList())
                    );


    return Test(secretId, (MyCredentialsImpl)CredentialsMatchers.firstOrNull(candidates, CredentialsMatchers.withId(secretId)));

And your answer was the cold water that I needed to use it.  ;)

Thanks for the help.
