"'Merge conflict' Status Disappeared from Status Columns"

[Dasari vamshipriya]

We are experiencing an issue where the 'merge conflict' information is visible when opening a change directly, but this information does not appear in the UI views such as the dashboard or search queries. This problem occurs only for a subset of changes that have merge conflicts.

Our setup includes:

• Gerrit version: 3.4.8

• Configuration: mergeabilityComputationBehavior=API_REF_UPDATED_AND_CHANGE_REINDEX

We would appreciate any insights or suggestions to resolve why the 'merge conflict' status is missing in these UI contexts despite being present when viewing changes individually.

Hi All,

We have observed that the mergeability status is correctly reported when using the Get Change endpoint of the Gerrit REST API, 

for example:

curl -fsSL https://<gerrit-server>/a/changes/<change-id> | sed 1d | jq '.mergeable' 

false

However, when using the Query Changes endpoint (which is used by the dashboard and search features in the Web UI), the mergeability status is incorrect:

curl -fsSL https://<gerrit-server>/a/changes/?q=<change-id> | sed 1d | jq '.[].mergeable' 

true

Would appreciate any further suggestions or fixes from the community.

Thanks!

Did you try to reindex the affected changes ?

Queries are executed against the search indexes not on the primary data stored in git (notedb).

If an index entry is stale the query result might be outdated/wrong. This may happen since indexing 

in Gerrit is typically done asynchronously. 

Would appreciate any further suggestions or fixes from the community.

Thanks!

• Gerrit version: 3.4.8

3.4.8 is EOL since Nov 2022

You should consider upgrading to a supported version 3.10.8, 3.11.5 or 3.12.2.

See https://endoflife.date/gerrit 

• Configuration: mergeabilityComputationBehavior=API_REF_UPDATED_AND_CHANGE_REINDEX
