Groovy Plugin: TriggeredBy & MSBuild

Created June 12, 2012 15:59

Hi,

I need the current username of the author who triggered the current build on TC 7 (from a Mercurial repo). Using Groovy (v7.0-8 it is installed!), in my MS build script, I have this:

<Message Text="Build Start: $(build_start_date)" />
<Message Text="Current User: $(build_triggeredBy)" />
<Message Text="Current User: $(build_triggeredBy_username)" />

...however, looking at the build log, nothing gets substituted for the triggeredby values. I get this output;

[Build] Build Start: 20120612

[Build] Current User:

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Paul

Hi Paul,

build.triggeredBy is a configuration parameter (no "system." prefix), so it is not passed into the build automatically. You can pass it if you define a new system property with the value %build.triggeredBy%.
