Stephen Brandwood commented on JENKINS-12074:
---------------------------------------------
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)
> Started-By Environment Variable Plugin does not work

> Key: JENKINS-12074
> URL: https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-12074
> Project: Jenkins
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: started-by-envvar
> Environment: Jenkins 1.442 with plugin version 1.0
> Reporter: Stephen Brandwood
> Labels: jenkins, plugin
>
> 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.
