Retrieve comment author from the plugin about github-pr-comment-build-plugin HOT 5 CLOSED

The plugin adds a cause to any build it triggers with information about the comment, including the author. See https://github.com/jenkinsci/github-pr-comment-build-plugin/blob/master/src/main/java/com/adobe/jenkins/github_pr_comment_build/GitHubPullRequestCommentCause.java or the other two causes next to it.

This can be retrieved from the pipeline using the currentBuild.rawBuild.causes (see https://javadoc.jenkins-ci.org/hudson/model/Run.html#getCauses--). It would need to be in a method marked @NonCPS because rawBuild is not serializable, and it may need to be approved in the script console, not sure.

Actually, looking at it, I don't see any fields for the author, but that would be easy to add. Just add the field in the cause class and then add it to the constructor in the events subscriber(s). That would do it, then you could just access it through the causes.

I pushed a fix for this, as soon as it builds and merges, I'll trigger a new release.

Waiting for jenkins-infra/repository-permissions-updater#2090 to be merged before this can be released.

I changed the versioning scheme for incremental releases, and 58.v945be9f1661f has been released with the fix for this.
