Get logged user BEFORE job execution

[Giorgio T]

I'm trying to choose options for a job execution, and these options should defined respect to logged user in rundeck console.

Eg.
I'm "user1" logged in rundeck, and "user1" is not an admin, so "user1" will have just some options.

To retrieve the options I'm using "option value plugin", but on scripting in this plugin there's no variable that contains the "user1" value.

It seems that ${job.user.name} is not defined in plugin environment.

Has someone find a solution to this issue?

Thanks

Hi Giorgio,

Probably a good approach is to use the getUserName method on JobPreExecutionEvent interface. This is available on a custom Job Lifecycle plugin.

Take a look at this, this example, and this example.

Thanks a lot for suggestion.

So we compiled the example suggested and it seems working.

Now we have to capture getUserName, so we'll do:

String optVal = event.getUserName()

but now, how we can assign the optVal to a variable that we can share between plugins in the job environment execution?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Giorgio,

Debugging and trying the plugin, I'm seeing that doesn't exist a way to put that value directly in an option (maybe a tricky/dirty way is to put the value in a JSON file for a cascade option).

Anyway, you can open a new request here.

Greetings.

Hi Sirs,

we're spending a lot of time in this issue. 
How are we able to debug the plugin?
It seems that this class:


@Override
public JobLifecycleStatus beforeJobExecution(JobPreExecutionEvent event) throws JobLifecyclePluginException {

String optVal = event.getOptionsValues() != null ? event.getOptionsValues().get(optionName) : null;
if (!secretValue.equals(optVal)) {
return JobLifecycleStatusImpl.builder().successful(false).errorMessage(String.format("The option %s value was incorrect!",optionName)).build();
}

return null;
}

is not able to logging something before job execution.

May you kindly suggest us a way to log before job execution? (before clicking on "run job now")

Thanks in advance.

Hi Giorgio,

I checked printing the content using System.out.println to see the string in the console output, but it seems doesn’t exist a way to put that string directly in an option :/

Regards.
