Deep link into a created change

[Andrew Allen]

Hey everyone,

I'm interested in adding a link to our documentation site that takes you to edit the page you're currently looking at. Does anyone know if it's possible to deep link into the gerrit "create change" UI with a file open? I don't know if it's possible to do, but ideally I would be able to construct something like

http://gerrit/createChange?project=project_name&branch=master&file=path/to/the/file.md&line=123

and it would create a stub commit against master on the "project_name" project and open the file "path/to/the/file.md" and put the cursor on line 123.

Is anything like this possible, or am I moving into the world of writing a custom plugin?

Thanks so much!

I think it would be adding something into https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/rest-api-changes.html#change-input that gives it a file you want to start editing in the change.

and it would create a stub commit against master on the "project_name" project and open the file "path/to/the/file.md" and put the cursor on line 123.

I would strongly support this as a core feature (and I suspect many others would too). It looks like it has already been requested in https://crbug.com/gerrit/11528

In spite of it taking me... *ahem*... a small amount of time to get around to this... I have a straw-man CL that I think we can start a conversation about here
