Editing project.config file of All-Projects

[Amal Babu S]

Hi all,

I am quite new to gerrit.

I need to add a new submit requirement in gerrit 3.7.0. I came to know that we can  achieve it by adding a new label  in project.config file of All-projects. But i don't know how to edit the project.config file.

If there is any other method of adding submit requirement, please advice.

Regards,

Amal

Hi Amal,

you can do it from the UI by browsing to this URL <$GERRIT_SITE>/admin/repos/All-Projects,commands, click on "Edit Repo Config" and edit online your file. 

Alternatively, you can do it from the command line:

1. clone  All-Projects

2. git fetch origin refs/meta/config && git checkout FETCH_HEAD

2. modify the project.config

3. git add . && git commit -m'your commit description'

4. git push origin HEAD:refs/for/refs/meta/config

5. review your change and merge it (if you want to skip the review you can push it this way "git push origin HEAD:refs/meta/config")

HTH,

Ponch

Alternatively from the UI:

1. Browse -> Projects , query for All-Projects

2. Select All-Projects

3. Commands -> Edit Repo Config, to open an online edit for the project.config file.

4. #Edit

5. Save & Publish

Hi all,

Thank you for all your advice.

I have tried to edit in the UI with my administrator account. It shows "you lack forge author" permission.

When I try to add "Forge Author identity" to "refs/*", I am getting the following error.

Also I have tried cloning All-projects. But when I do git fetch origin refs/meta/config  I am getting an error fatal: couldn't find remote ref refs/meta/config.

My All-Projects have the following branches

Any help is much appreciated.

Regards

Amal.

The key part of the error message is "You have not registered any email adress".
The edit creates a commit, and in order to create a commit there needs to be an author and a committer, both of which require name and email:
"John Johnnysson <joh...@soncorp.com>".

If you follow the suggestions in the error message and add an email to your account Gerrit can create the commit and you will be able to Edit.

Hi sven,

Will try adding email address. Users in my gerrit comes from github.com via github plugin.

But I am able to commit to other repositories with out adding email. Even I have provided access to other users in my repository by creating " forge committer identity" permission for them.
