Where do I find my password for gerrit?

[Richard Wallis]

Hi, trying to submit a patch and I can't authenticate.

I go to https://gwt.googlesource.com

I click generate password and I get instructions on how to generate a cookie on a Unix system.  I'm on Windows.

I have signed the contributor agreement. Can I submit my patch via github?

[Manuel Carrasco Moñino]

You cannot submit your patch via github.

In windows, probably your git installation comes with a terminal where you can copy and paste the instructions google give you to setup your cookies.

Otherwise I recommend to install cygwin, it comes with a terminal which almost emulates a unix system environment, when installing cygwing select git, and any other utility you could need.

Richard,

You could find interesting information on how to contribute by reading the documents we've written for the "contributor workshop" at gwtcreate this year:

Thanks for the help. 

I've contributed before, so everything is setup.  I just need the password (Is this not possible?).

It's a bit too much to ask Windows users to install cygwin, I'll setup a vm if it's not possible to get a password.

Julien, I've read through the slides and they seem to have the same info as the contribution guide.

Thanks Daniel, maybe the gerrit failed authentication prompt should point there:

At the moment it reads:

Please generate a new password at:
  https://gwt.googlesource.com/new-password

Anyway thanks for the help everyone.

Sorry, spoke to soon.  Daniel obtain password under HTTP password also redirects to the create a cookie page.

Can I not read the password out of the cookie somehow?

[Julien Dramaix]

I don't think you can read the password. 

During the contributor workshop, several people have had this problem and resetting the password using: 

  https://gwt.googlesource.com/new-password

solve the issue.

https://gwt.googlesource.com/new-password is the page that everything else directs to.

It tells me how to setup a cookie.

When I open that page, I see a "Windows Users ↴" yellow box. Clicking on it, it then says “We recommend Git for Windows. Paste the following script into Git Bash.”

It's no so much, actually 'git for windows' is built on the top of cygwin, it installs a bash shell and iirc, some utilities like perl etc. You can even select if it installs some other unix like utilities like find etc.

 

[Richard Wallis]

Thanks Thomas & Manuel for the handholding :)

Managed to find git bash and create the cookie.

If anyone has the time, please can the contribution process be made more standardized.

What do you mean as standard, accept github pull requests?

 

[Richard Wallis]

I know it's too much to ask to move the project to github.  But even the authentication on this project is not done in the standard way.

Last time I tried to submit a patch I was stuck for days because I'd done the checkout with --depth 1.

There's a lot of friction to contributing to this project.

I'm useless with git / the unix command line but things could be made easier.

I agree 100%, the friction for contributing this project is huge. Not only the setup of the project, but the review process, tools, build, etc.

We are trying to improve the process, right now contribution to the documentation has been enormously simplified (please don't hesitate improve to the contributors page if you found something wrong or unclear) but anyway we must continue working to facilitate code contributions, we love hearing suggestions and ideas from you.
