Post Gitilesplugin-2.10 installation in gerrit unable to see Browse option

[Mohan Kumar]

  My Environment:-

 My Gerrit Version is -2.10.2

  Gitilesplugin-gitiles-stable Version -2.10 - (In Gerrit under Plugin category installed status shows Enabled).

 Problem:

 I have installed Gitiles plugin and restarted my gerrit application service. After gerrit service restart, I am unable to see “Browse” option under Repository Browser category in our gerrit. Whereas I am able  to browse under plugin menu. Means if I can click over installed gitiles plugin, then I am able to browse the repository & branches etc..(A separate link opens in a New-Window [http://our-gerrit-hostname /gerrit/plugins/gitiles/] from here I can browse it). How do I configure link from “Repository Browser” in gerrit itself?

 Gitiles Stable-Plugin I have installed from http://gerrit-ci.gerritforge.com/job/plugin-gitiles-stable-2.10/

 Also I have tried adding below in my gerrit.config file. Still Browse link option not showing in gerrit Web.

 [Gitiles]

        type = custom

        linkname = gitiles

        url = plugins/gitiles/

        revision = ${project}/+/${commit}

        project = ${project}

        branch = ${project}/+/${branch}

        filehistory = ${project}/+log/${branch}/${file}

 

 url = plugins/gitiles/  I tried with url = gerrit/plugins/gitiles/ as well still not working.

 Do I need to configure/enable anything else?

 Any help would be highly appreciated.

This section should be named "gitweb", not "gitiles".

 

        type = custom

        linkname = gitiles

        url = plugins/gitiles/

        revision = ${project}/+/${commit}

        project = ${project}

        branch = ${project}/+/${branch}

        filehistory = ${project}/+log/${branch}/${file}

Given that the section name is wrong, I guess you've configured it manually.  Note that the plugin has an init step that will set up the necessary configuration for you, so you don't need to do it manually.

Looking at the code [1], I can see a couple of options being set that are not included in your config:

- file

- roottree

also the init step is removing the "cgi" and "pathSeparator" settings.

If you fix the section name and it still doesn't work properly, please either run the init and let the plugin configure itself, or adjust your config to make the same settings as in the init code.

As an aside, if you upgrade to Gerrit 2.12 and the corresponding plugin version, it is not necessary to configure it with the gitweb options because it will automatically add weblinks. 

 Any help would be highly appreciated.

Dear David,

 

Thank you very much for your help, it is working perfectly as expected.

 

I have changed the section in gerrit.config file from "gitiles" to “gitweb”. And also I have added below lines.

 

file = ${project}+${commit}/${file}

roottree = ${project}

 

Now working perfectly without init step.

 

Thanks.
