gerrit-code-review-plugin: Gerrit checks plugin has been deprecated

[Wade Carpenter]

Hi folks,

(I was torn betwen -dev and -users for this thread, so hopefully I got it right!)

While I was looking at https://gerrit.googlesource.com/plugins/checks today, I saw the following:

DEPRECATION NOTICE

The Gerrit team at Google has decided to discontinue work on the checks plugin. The recommended solution is Checks UI which surfaces results from an external CI/analysis system.

This seems to suggest that either we need to come up with a gerrit "jenkinsci" plugin to provide a checks UI, or consider some other approach. At this point I'm sorta waiting to see which direction gerrit-review.googlesource.com goes in, but I was also wondering if anyone here has thoughts on this.

Thanks!

Wade

I'm sorry but what does this have to do with Jenkins?

It's about the gerrit-code-review-plugin jenkins plugin, https://github.com/jenkinsci/gerrit-code-review-plugin#integrating-with-the-gerrit-checks-plugin. It's using the now-obsolete gerrit checks plugin to publish the build status back to gerrit. The gerrit change is about restructing the way that CI systems are integrated with gerrit, so this plugin is impacted.

Possibly a question for the repo-discuss mailing list?

The Checks plugin isn't a mandatory requirement of the Gerrit Code Review plugin: if you have it, it can be used. If you don’t have it, you’ll keep on using the labels.

HTH

Luca.

Thanks Luca, it's a big help. I found a nice thread (with you and Ben, of course) that covers this exact question.
