Gerrit 2.8.5 REST API Add Comment

[Mike Watson]

Hi,

I would like to add a comment to a change in Gerrit (2.8.5) via REST API. However, I don't see any endpoint in the REST API documentation for adding a comment.

Can anyone point me to a doc or provide info if this is possible via REST API?

thx

Never mind...I found it under Create Draft in documentation.....

Thanks for the link.  I am having issues understanding what the api requires for change id in many of the rest api methods for the changes end point.

In the docs it reads "'POST /changes/{change-id}/revisions/{revision-id}/review'"

In the example it reads "POST /changes/myProject~master~I8473b95934b5732ac55d26311a706c9c2bde9940/revisions/674ac754f91e64a0efb8087e59a176484bd534d1"

My question is ..are we supposed to prepend the change id with the project and branch using the tilde?  I can't get the simple call to "get a change" to work...using the change id alone, or by prepending the project and branch to the change id.

I am using the change id that is visible in gerrit UI when you open the change.  The revision id I am using is the ID assigned to the only patch set for the change (patch set 1).

Am I not using the correct IDs?

thx

Have you checked the documentation of the ID's [1,2] ?

thanks for the link...and although I had not seen that info before, I have tried using all three variations in my testing...i used the change id that you see in the emails..I used the change id that is displayed in the UI when viewing a change....and I prefixed the change id (from UI) with my project and my branch....each time I get a 404 Not Found error. Driving me crazy ...

Make sure to inlcude the /a/ into the URL so that you are authenticated:
  https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/rest-api.html#authentication

Otherwise your request is anonymous and anonymous users may not have read permissions on your change which would result in 404.

Hmmm...Just got get change working using the legacy change id...and also tested with change ID from UI...and it is working....this is weird....perhaps there may have been some corruption in the curl strings I was using to test it.  I was being very careful though...oh well...it is working now.  thanks!

Thanks for your help Edwin!
