ParentJob and ParentBuild as properties

[Jakub Pawlinski]

Hi, 

In my declarative pipeline I'm using some data from parent job, till now I was processing those in single script clause and setting :

String ParentJobName = ""

String ParentBuildNumber = ""

pipeline {

stages {

stage ('Read Parameters') {

steps {

script {

def parentJob = GetParentJob(params.VERBOSE)

ParentJobName = parentJob.getName()

def parentBuild = GetParentBuild(parentJob, params.VERBOSE)

ParentBuildNumber = parentBuild.getNumber()

...

this was working fine, and both ParentJobName and ParentBuildNumer were populated fine, 

as I now wanted to do more than just getting single string I tried to declare

import org.jenkinsci.plugins.workflow.job.WorkflowJob

import org.jenkinsci.plugins.workflow.job.WorkflowRun

WorkflowJob ParentJob

WorkflowRun ParentBuild

outside of pipeline (like Strings previously)

but this ends up with java.io.NotSerializableException: org.jenkinsci.plugins.workflow.job.WorkflowJob exception

wonder if there is a way to achieve it, so I want have to evaluate those every time I want to use them.

thanks

Jakub
