Gerrit Isue

Posted on · Tagged in git, gerrit

I was working on shell a script. Now that it was complete I need to send that script for review.So I started to work on this. Unfortunately I got the following error which took me almost took a day to resolve on my side. I decided not to ask my mentors until and unless I am not able to rsolve this issue. This has been common issue amongst all of us interns!

[gkadam@dhcp201-114 cert-openstack-scripts]$ git review -R
Could not connect to gerrit.

After going through lots of google serarches I realized that, the things that were going wrong are already mentioned in the error code that I was getting. Before this I made a very silly mistake of deleting the existing file in that directory from which I have to send the file for review. So just after knowing this issue, I copied the new script in to the same directory again. Then I renamed to it’s earlier name and performed following steps :

  1. Cloned the repository to new location :
[gkadam@dhcp201-114 ~]$ git clone ssh://gkadam@code.engineering.redhat.com:22/cert-openstack-scripts
Cloning into 'cert-openstack-scripts'...
Checking connectivity... done.
warning: remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout.
  1. Added the remote repository as we can see in the above error!
[gkadam@dhcp201-114 cert-openstack-scripts]$ git remote add gerrit ssh://gkadam@code.engineering.redhat.com:22/cert-openstack-scripts
  1. Then did a git review after adding the script and commiting it in that dierctory :
[gkadam@dhcp201-114 cert-openstack-scripts]$ git review -R
Your change was committed before the commit hook was installed.
Amending the commit to add a gerrit change id.
remote: Processing changes: new: 1, refs: 1, done.
remote: (W) 9dedc09: commit subject >65 characters; use shorter first paragraph
remote: (W) 9dedc09: too many commit message lines longer than 70 characters; manually wrap lines
remote:
remote: New Changes:
remote:https://code.engineering.redhat.com/gerrit/73014 Add user validation, and create functions : create_member,create_network and remote:
To ssh://gkadam@code.engineering.redhat.com:22/cert-openstack-scripts
* [new branch]      HEAD -> refs/publish/master

This was the workaround for my problem that I was facing.
