Hello everyone,

We are currently planning to use owners and owners-autoassign plugin for Gerrit 3.5, but we found out that owners-autoassign is not installed when initiating the Gerrit site.

It had no problem when building both plugins and building Gerrit site, and owners-autoassign.jar is present under gerrit_site/plugins.

Also, manually installing owners-autoassign plugin using gerrit_site/plugins/owners-autoassign.jar also doesn't work, and it outputs an error message as shown in the attachment.

I also could not replicate this issue on Gerrit 3.4, so it seems to be happening in Gerrit 3.5 only.

Is there anyone facing a similar issue, or had a chance to solve this problem?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you

Hello everyone,

We are currently planning to use owners and owners-autoassign plugin for Gerrit 3.5, but we found out that owners-autoassign is not installed when initiating the Gerrit site.

This is because of: [1], that was implemented in: [2]. Since: [3] the

usage of libModule: owners-api from owner-api plugin is mandatory.

See the updated installation instructions for owners-autoassign plugin

in: [4], [5].

You can download owners-api.jar for gerrit 3.5 release line from Gerrit CI: [6].

As a side note, if you are getting this exception:

NoClassDefFoundError: com/googlesource/gerrit/owners/api/OwnersAttentionSet

You could have tried to search for this class on Zoekt, e.g.:

This is a known CI issue, see discussion in the context of this issue: [1].

I uploaded a fix to address it: [2], but the review was staled. I've just

applied the fix to the plugin-owners-bazel-master-stable-3.5 job on the CI

and restarted the build. Now the artifact for owners-api plugin is gathered

correctly: [3].
