where is the project.config file stored?

[jo...@norricorp.f9.co.uk]

Hi,

have read thru' https://gerrit-documentation.storage.googleapis.com/Documentation/2.13.7/config-project-config.html and am still not sure where the project.config file.

I have looked in the refs/meta directory of a gerrit project git repository and there is a config file that contains a hash.

So bit confused.

Regards,

[thomasmu...@yahoo.com]

Hi, it's stored in refs/meta/config which should be accessible through All-Projects

[Edwin Kempin]

refs/meta/config is branch (not a directory) which should exist in every project.

You may need to grant READ permission on it, if you want to fetch it.

many thanks Edwin and Thomas.

Still a bit unsure on this. This is what I did

 git fetch origin HEAD:refs/meta/config
From ssh://mint-rtc:29418/groovyTest
 * [new ref]                    -> refs/meta/config

$ git checkout refs/meta/config
Note: checking out 'refs/meta/config'.

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can......

HEAD is now at 1cdf1d3... comments for change

So where is project.config supposed to be / go?

 

[Golan Davidovits]

After you fetch it you still need to create the branch locally:

git fetch origin refs/meta/config:remotes/origin/meta/config

git checkout -b refs/meta/config remotes/origin/meta/config

Hi Golan,

when I try both commands above, I get a fatal error

$ git checkout master
Switched to branch 'master'
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'.

$ git fetch origin refs/meta/config:remotes/origin/meta/config
fatal: Couldn't find remote ref refs/meta/config

$ git checkout -b refs/meta/config remotes/origin/meta/config
fatal: Cannot update paths and switch to branch 'refs/meta/config' at the same time.
Did you intend to checkout 'remotes/origin/meta/config' which can not be resolved as commit?

Hi,

Does https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/intro-project-owner.html#edit-access-rights help?

The important thing is to have read permission.

Hope that helps,

Jonathan

Hi Jonathon,

yes that was the problem - my user was not in a group that had read permission on that. 

Having now run fetch and checkout, I have a project.config file.

Many thanks

 Still having problems .....

So I edited project.config, added it and committed. Then tried to push.

git push origin refs/meta/config:remotes/origin/meta/config
error: src refspec refs/meta/config matches more than one.
error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://jnorris@mint-rtc:29418/groovyTest'

git branch -a
  master
* refs/meta/config
  remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master
  remotes/origin/master
  remotes/origin/meta/config

I am in a group that has write permission to the branch.

What am I doing wrong?

[Jonathan Nieder]

See https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/user-submodules.html#_ensure_the_subscription_is_allowed for an example of modifying the project.config file.

Filed http://crbug.com/5948 to document this better.

You are pushing to a local ref spec, the remote one would
not have "remotes" in it. Try:

git push origin refs/meta/config:refs/meta/config

or simpler:

git push origin HEAD:refs/meta/config

Correction: that should be http://crbug.com/gerrit/5948.

Sorry for the confusion,

Of course, even better create a change for review first
without needing write perms to refs/meta/config:

git push origin HEAD:refs/for/refs/meta/config
