Build initiator [message #1095226]

I need to know if a build was kicked off by a user or by an upstream job or via SCM.

Based on how the build was initiated I need to perform slightly different actions in the build.

Is there a way to determine this from within a job?

We need to find what is the replacement for the API getJob on the class Hudson.

We're trying to find out how a job was launched.

There used to be methods getCause() / GetCauses().

The method getCauses in defined in the class Run?

I'm guessing you are doing this in a plugin. In your builder or publisher Extension, you can use the method getProjectActions(AbstractProject<?,?> project). In the returned Collection of Actions look for CauseAction and retrieve the List of Causes using CauseAction.getCauses()
