I have a couple of prototype Gerrit integration builds up and running, with some issues. All of the builds are freestyle projects, in case that matters.

One of the issues is that I do not seem to be able to kick off a build manually because of the way that the sourcecode management has to be configured. I have to use a repo Refspec of $GERRIT_REFSPEC, which is not valid unless the build is triggered by the Gerrit plugin.

For a build-now pushbutton build or a dependent build, how can I set this value to some default that can be overloaded when triggered by Gerrit?

Hi,

I think you can add "GERRIT_REFSPEC" parameter to this job (and all others needed parameters by your job) with a default value and it'll be overridden when triggered by a Gerrit event.

But the GERRIT_REFSPEC parameter, and some others Gerrit's parameters will change on each changeset. Not sure that you really want this behaviour.

If your usecase is to rebuild a previous build, you can use the "Retrigger" button on the build page.
