How to SET BUILD_USER variable from REMOTE API CALL to Jenkins Job

[rohit verma]

Hello,

I am calling a Jenkins Job from remote system by following command.

curl -k -v -H -XPOST
"https://<USERNAME>:<AuthToken>@JenkinsURL/job/JobName/buildWithParameters?token=TokenName&PRM=PRM_VALUE"


What i noticed that the environment variable BUILD_USER is not set via
remote API call. (In my case BUILD_USER is null however the user is
triggering it with his/her authentication token). Is there a way to make
sure that BUILD_USER is set to the the user name of the caller of this job
via REST Like API (Curl command)?


Thanks in advance.

I don't think Jenkins has BUILD_USER var. If you're using a plugin to
generate it, you may want to check there.

I am using the user build vars plugin which has this variable. This
variable is normally set to the user name while you execute the jenkins job
normally from build the project option while when i call it via rest api
like curl command with a user name and his authentication token it’s not
being set to the user name. Instead it’s null.
