Started-By Environment Variable Plugin does not work

XMLWordPrintable

      It is expected that the following will print the user that started the job when placed in a shell script:
      echo ${JENKINS_STARTED_BY}

      But it does not. It appears that the value is not populated as it should be.

          The plugin works for me on Windows with Jenkins 1.420
          The environment variable is printed as follows:
          JENKINS_STARTED_BY=first.second@ourdomain.com

          So it looks like it may be affected by a change btw. 1.420 and 1.442

          This plugin is using UserCause to find the user that started the job, but this has been deprecated and replaced with UserIdCause. I can submit a fix, but I suggest that people just use the Build User Vars plugin instead (https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Build+User+Vars+Plugin)
