Question

After a build is finished I use the mail-ext-plugin (Jenkins Email Extension Plugin) to send an email to certain users.
I would like to include the user who started (requested) the build in that mail.
– I couldn’t find anything working with the default Jenkins vars.
– I Couldn’t find anything in the mail-ext vars.
– I tried Build User Vars Plugin to get $BUILD_USER

but I can’t get it to work.

How to get to $BUILD_USER, BUILD_REQUESTER, USERNAME or something like that

For now I have

$DEFAULT_CONTENT

--

{$BUILD_USER}

resulting in

zzz test GreenHat - Build # 27 - Still Failing:
Check console output....

--

{$BUILD_USER}

also tried without {}

Answer 1

I have finally found what I wanted,
adding:

$CAUSE

or

${CAUSE}

gives
