Turn 'Optional filter' to negative matching about generic-webhook-trigger-plugin HOT 9 CLOSED

Here is an example that triggers if the user is not "jenkins":

https://github.com/jenkinsci/generic-webhook-trigger-plugin/blob/master/src/test/java/org/jenkinsci/plugins/gwt/GenericTriggerTest.java#L37

from generic-webhook-trigger-plugin.

Weird, if i use ^((?!BUILD_USER))$ it does not work.
If i use ^((?!BUILD_USER).)*$ it works.
What is the diference ?

My variable contains ACTOR = "MY_NAME"

Logging:

Triggering GenericTrigger [genericVariables=[GenericVariable [expressionType=JSONPath, key=ID, value=$.pullRequest.id, regexpFilter=], GenericVariable [expressionType=JSONPath, key=ACTOR, value=$.actor.name, regexpFilter=]], regexpFilterText=$ACTOR, regexpFilterExpression=^((?!iBUILD_USER))$, genericRequestVariables=null]

Thanks in advance.

Forgot to mention, the plugin version is 1.10 on Jenkins 2.60.1

Perhaps remove the $ at the end of regexp or move it inside the parenthesis.

So you are saying that if I set the username of the user committing to "Jenkins" it will ignore it and skip the build????, if so, that is exactly the behavior I am trying to achieve.

It is all about the json string. if "set the username of the user " means you change the json being sent, then yes.

You should continue this discussion in the issue you originally created. Closing this one as the reporter dos not respond.

Hi, due to courses and work i was not able to answer in time. It seems that ^((?!BUILD_USER).)*$ is the only thing that works for me. Have tried different notations also the one 'hidden' in your code but i can not get that notation to work. This solution is fine for me at this moment. Thanks for the support.

I added a test case for this. If someone needs it in the future:

Thanks for the quick support, keep up the good work!
