pipeline {
agent none
stages {
stage('example') {
agent { label 'master' }
steps {
script {
wrap([$class: 'BuildUser']) {
echo "BUILD_USER=${BUILD_USER}"
echo "BUILD_USER_FIRST_NAME=${BUILD_USER_FIRST_NAME}"
echo "BUILD_USER_LAST_NAME=${BUILD_USER_LAST_NAME}"
echo "BUILD_USER_ID=${BUILD_USER_ID}"
echo "BUILD_USER_EMAIL=${BUILD_USER_EMAIL}"
echo "---"
echo "env.BUILD_USER=${env.BUILD_USER}"
echo "env.BUILD_USER_FIRST_NAME=${env.BUILD_USER_FIRST_NAME}"
echo "env.BUILD_USER_LAST_NAME=${env.BUILD_USER_LAST_NAME}"
echo "env.BUILD_USER_ID=${env.BUILD_USER_ID}"
echo "env.BUILD_USER_EMAIL=${env.BUILD_USER_EMAIL}"
}
}
}
}
}
}
In order to make the variables available you need to have your code wrapped in:
wrap([$class: 'BuildUser']) {
}
Sometime it is inconvenient to do that for the whole code, so inside the wrapper, you can copy the values to Other variables that can be then accessed outside of the wrapper as well.
See also Jenkins pipeline: get current user using currentBuild and getBuildCauses.
