Hi Team,

We are running Gerrit instance version 2.13.2. There is a requirement to block all binary push in order to any size to the Gerrit repositories in Instance level.

As checked, there is a plugin "uploadvalidator" but that can be configured specific to the one project and that cannot be inherited from parent to child projects.

Let me know if any alternative ways to achieve the Binary push to Gerrit repositories.

Regards,

Ashwini

When setting up a fresh Gerrit installation with 2.15 it seems that All-Projects contains this by default:

So I assume it’s required J

Cheers,

Did you look at a server-side hook? You'll need to google a bit to find out how to do it.

Are you sure that you want to block *all* binary files, no matter how small? That seems like an unusual requirement - most projects have icon files or similar that they check in.

Do you have to block it at the server, or is it sufficient for your developers to have a .gitignore that ignores files *.png, *.ico etc?

Is that true? I would have assumed uploadvalidator configuration is inherited.

Thanks,

Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,

Correct me, if i have misread the configuration file. Since our Gerrit version running is 2.13.2 have checked the below link.

https://gerrit.googlesource.com/plugins/uploadvalidator/+/stable-2.13/src/main/resources/Documentation/config.md/

Ashwini

See https://gerrit.googlesource.com/plugins/uploadvalidator/+/master/src/main/resources/Documentation/config.md/#inheritance. I don't know if stable-2.13 has the same behavior, but it should be possible to check.
