How do I access variables provided by Build User Vars Plugin in Pipeline jobs.

Environment

Resolution

Example:

wrap([$class: 'BuildUser']) {
 // https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Build+User+Vars+Plugin variables available inside this block

  sh 'echo ${BUILD_USER}'
}

    I tried this on multibranch pipeline and it doesn't work.

    stage('stage1') {
      steps {
        wrap([$class: 'BuildUser']) {
          sh 'echo "${BUILD_USER}"'
          sh 'echo "${BUILD_USER_ID}"'
          sh 'echo "${BUILD_USER_EMAIL}"'
        }
    }


    I am using version 1.5 of Build User Vars Plugin

    Try without invoking sh, just echo direct like so:

    stage('stage1') {
      steps {
        wrap([$class: 'BuildUser']) {
          echo "${BUILD_USER}"
          echo "${BUILD_USER_ID}"
          echo "${BUILD_USER_EMAIL}"
        }
    }

    ```

    pipeline {
  agent any

  stages {
    stage('build user') {
      steps {
        wrap([$class: 'BuildUser']) {
          sh 'echo "${BUILD_USER}"'
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
    ```

    WORKS!
