Same comment as Christian. Can this be resolved? We are not using the dead plugin but rather Blue Ocean with GitHub Branch Source plugin.

When configuring a multibranch pipeline repository to detect Pull Requests from GitHub, I get  the following CHANGE_* env variables populated properly:

CHANGE_AUTHOR
CHANGE_AUTHOR_DISPLAY_NAME
CHANGE_BRANCH
CHANGE_ID
CHANGE_TARGET
CHANGE_TITLE
CHANGE_URL

The CHANGE_AUTHOR_EMAIL var is critically missing from this list, which is paramount to alert users about regressions in their pull requests.

Environment:

Jenkins ver. 2.128 

GitHub Branch Source Plugin 2.3.6 (latest)

Pipeline: Multibranch 2.19 (latest)

Is there any progress on this? Need some of the above env. variables to be used in a project. Any ETA on this?

It has been a while since any action on this page, mostly likely because it is a closed issue, but I am seeing the same problem as Amir Barkal was seeing above above. The listed CHANGE_* vars are set, but not CHANGE_AUTHOR_EMAIL.

Environment:

Using a multibranch job with the Branch Sources plugin using a github app for authentication.

Jenkins 2.235.1
GitHub API Plugin 1.114.3
GitHub Branch Source Plugin 2.8.2
GitHub plugin 1.30.0

I am happy to open a separate ticket for this issue if someone suggests that.  My main reason for commenting here is to let others know that I am also seeing this problem, as it seems like if it is a valid problem, then it ought to affect many people.

FWIW for now, I am planning on working around the issue by simply examining the email address belonging to the author of the most recent git revision on the PR branch.  However don't be mislead... I don't believe this solution is equivalent to what we should expect from CHANGE_AUTHOR_EMAIL, as I believe that email address ought to be whatever email address the PR author has set up in Github, which is not necessarily the same as the author of the most recent commit on the PR branch.

I will also note that I am migrating from Bitbucket to Github, and the Bitbucket plugin does provide CHANGE_AUTHOR_EMAIL, so we should aim for feature parity here also.

Same issue. env.CHANGE_AUTHOR does exist but env.CHANGE_AUTHOR_EMAIL is empty.

Jenkins ver. 2.204.2
GitHub plugin 1.29.4
GitHub API 1.110
GitHub Branch Source 2.6.0
GitHub Organization Folder Plugin 1.6
