I noticed that Gerrit use dk.brics.automaton to compute regular expression.

It's a little bit tricky for me. Is it possibel to search branch starts with "master-t" or "release-t"?

branch:^master-t.* OR branch:^release-t.* does the trick.

But is it possibel to combine them into one regular expression

branch:^(master-t.*|release-t.*) doesn't work

To be honest. what i really want to do, is to enable code owner plugin only on branch starts with "master-t" or "release-t"

But disabledBranch = ^refs/(?!heads/(master-t|release-t)$).* doesn't work

syntonyze

I think your regex breaks because you're not escaping your forward slashes ('/' should be escaped '\/')

Have you tried to see if your regexp works outside Gerrit at all?

You can use any online tool, for example, this [1]

Yes, i've already tried my regular expression and it seems OK.

But i find another way of regualr expression to solve this. Thanks for your help
