I'm trying to upgrade from Gerrit 2.13.7 to 2.14 on a CentOS system using the binary packages. When I run a "yum update gerrit", it fails like this:

[root@gerrit-test ~]# yum update gerrit

Looking in the postinstall scriptlet for the .rpm, it looks like it failed on this line:

When I look in the log in /tmp/gerrit-installer.log, I see this:

Am I doing something wrong here, or should I open a bug for this?

NoSuchMethodError is most likely caused by a plugin being built against a different API version. In this case the stack trace looks like it's in its.base which would be included in one of the its- plugins (its-jira, etc).

If you have one of those plugins in your site's plugins/ folder, check its version and if necessary upgrade it to the one built for 2.14.

thanks,

Thanks -- that makes sense. It didn't occur to me that I'd need to upgrade the plugins before the upgrade for use during init (I was guessing I'd need to do that after the upgrade before I start the new version). I'll give that a try.

Yes, the problem is that its-jira plugin needs to be upgraded to the 2.14-compatible version.

The native packaging is unaware of what has been installed outside the RPM and thus did not know you had that plugin installed.

The its-jira for Gerrit 2.14 can be found at:

https://gerrit-ci.gerritforge.com/job/plugin-its-jira-bazel-master-stable-2.14/

I am planning to include a "plugin version detection and upgrade" in the plugin-manager, which ships for the very first time with Gerrit 2.14.
