email notification testing

[ffa]

Hi,

 I'm not receiving emails. How can I debug email notifications? I tried searching for anything related to verbose debugging or a test email button, but I only found a discussion thread which didn't have a solution I could use.

Have you looked in the error log? Which version of Gerrit are you running? For a while email problems weren't reported properly, but I don't remember which public releases (if any) that were affected by this.

yes, and it does not contain mail related errors. 2.4.2.

I really wish a test email button existed.

Have you checked the logs of the smtp server you configured in gerrit.config
under the sendemail.smtpServer?
Maybe Gerrit properly passes emails to the smtp server but the server itself
has a problem?

Also, don't you receive mail at all, or sometimes you receive mails
but not all the mails you expected?
I once had an issue that ended up to be because of bad configuration
of the groups:
the "Send email notifications about comments and actions by users in
this group only..." checkbox was checked...

I don't see that checkbox.


under "/etc/mail/", I see a bunch of templates with a ".example"
suffix. Do I need to remove ".example" from the files? I assumed
gerrit would just use the default either way.

Also, here is my mail config.

[sendemail]
enable = true
from = MIXED
smtpServer = smtp.gmail.com
smtpServerPort = 587
smtpEncryption = TLS
smtpUser = <the email address gerrit will use>

This checkbox was removed, it is replaced by the 'Email Reviewers' global capability [1]
that can be assigned on the 'All-Projects' project.

Yes, you only need to touch and rename these file if you want to customize the templates.

okay, I set that to allow for all registered users. But, I doubt that
was the problem. I'll see what happens with that since I can't really
test it out.

would my permissions be apart of the problem? I set up a "read" deny
on the "All Projects" project's "refs/*" ref for "Registered Users"
and "Anonymous Users".

Also, I compiled my version. Is it possible the compilation skipped
this feature?

Finally, is there verbose debugging? I will recompile if I have to
because this is driving me batty.

                           ^^^^^^ is this a gmail login address?

  You have to use a gmail address that can log in to gmail (and also provide the password here).

Yes, it is a gmail google apps email address. And, my password is in the secure config file. Also, wouldn't I get some type of error in my error log if gerrit couldn't login? There must be someway to turn on verbose debugging.

wooohoooo, I finally got some errors. Please help me debug.

Yep, I tried that recently and it worked. Thank you.

Are you still having trouble? I never was able to get an exception out of it but my configuration looked exactly like the one you posted earlier. I fixed it by changing the smtpEncryption to ssl (lower-case, not sure if that matters).

I hope this helps!
