Gerrit new feature: Browser Notifications

[Milutin Kristofic]

Hi Gerrit Users,

We are releasing browser notifications - a new way to be notified about your attention set. The notifications work only when Gerrit is open in one of the browser tabs.

When you open Gerrit, you will be asked by a popup to allow desktop notifications on your browser to see them.

If you deny notifications on all sites, there won’t be a popup. But you can change it in your browser settings.

Automatic notifications are enabled by default, but you can turn them off in the Gerrit user preferences.

 

The latency to get the notification is up to 5 minutes.

Reach out to us!

• Ask a question or give us some feedback: repo-d...@googlegroups.com

• File a Bug or Feature Request: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/gerrit/issues/entry?template=GoogleSource+Issue

complementary to that, you may find https://crbug.com/gerrit/2726 worth
implementing. (this wouldn't use popups, but rather a kind of banner, i
think.)

Hi,

will this feature be part of Gerrit v3.8 and should be mentioned in release notes? Or is the feature flag protected and not ready for wider audience?

[Paladox]

This will be apart of gerrit 3.8. It's protected behind a feature flag though. See https://github.com/GerritCodeReview/gerrit/blob/5b3e1400dae5a44e999b7e5439deff1eb00dc00b/polygerrit-ui/app/services/service-worker-installer.ts#L104.

Hi Vitaliy,

This feature is staying behind a feature flag for easy way to disable it. It's a risk mitigation if for a bug in service worker (or front-end) we end up flooding server with queries - since current implementation of push notifications is based on periodic polling. I hope there is a way for admins to enabled/disable feature.

Best,
Milutin
