How can I get currentuser with scriptrunner in jira cloud?

Question

I want to get the current user using scriptrunner in jira cloud. I want to add in currentuser name in the comment of an issue. But I couldnot figure out how to do so with scriptrunner in jira cloud. I did try

* currentUser, 
* executionUser.displayName
* currentUser?.displayName
* event.user.displayName

But didnot have any luck with them.

Can someone please help?

There are also exists a HAPI "wrapper" by Adaptivist ScritpRunner Team.
It is availabel in ScriptRunner for Jira Cloud

//get current user display name
def user = Users.getLoggedInUser()
user.displayName

// group membership check
Groups.getByName("jira-admins").contains(user.accountId as String)

@Kedar Kanel , @Shawn Doyle - ReleaseTEAM is absolutely right..

When you run the listener/script - use Current User. If you use SR add-on, then it will show as SR add-on.....

so try:

def response = get('/rest/api/3/myself')
.header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
.asObject(Map)
assert response.status == 200

def currentUsername = response.body.displayName

then use ${currentUsername} in the comment.
