I wanted to show the user who triggered a Jenkins job in the post job email. This is possible by using the plugin Build User Vars Plugin and the env variable BUILD_USER. But this variable do not get initialized when the job is triggered by a scheduler.
How can we achieve this? I know we have a plugin called - EnvInject Plugin, and that can be used...
But I just want to know how we can use this and achieve the solution...

I wanted to show the user who triggered a Jenkins job in the post job email. This is possible by using the plugin Build User Vars Plugin and the env variable BUILD_USER .
You can use ${currentBuild. durationString} to get build duration.
As soon as we will hit the URL in the browser, Jenkins will trigger the build automatically like in the below image.
Developers can follow these three steps to implement a remote Jenkins build trigger: Create a Jenkins build job and enable the Trigger builds remotely checkbox. Provide an authentication token; This can be any text string of your choice. Invoke the Jenkins build URL to remotely trigger the build job.
Build user vars plugin wasn't working for me so I did a quick-and-dirty hack:
BUILD_CAUSE_JSON=$(curl --silent ${BUILD_URL}/api/json | tr "{}" "\n" | grep "Started by") BUILD_USER_ID=$(echo $BUILD_CAUSE_JSON | tr "," "\n" | grep "userId" | awk -F\" '{print $4}') BUILD_USER_NAME=$(echo $BUILD_CAUSE_JSON | tr "," "\n" | grep "userName" | awk -F\" '{print $4}') If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
