commit-msg hook missing

[jo...@norricorp.f9.co.uk]

Hi,

I installed gerrit from 2.9.3 (the latest version) and can not find a tools directory or a commit-msg hook anywhere. Hence I can not down load it to my clone of a gerrit generated git repository (project). 

As you can probably guess I am new to Gerrit. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Regards,

John

You have to download it from your server with scp or curl.

See:

Hi David,

that is the problem - it is not on my Gerrit server.

John

It is. The fact that you do not see it anywhere in the FS doesn't mean that
it is missing.

Please post the full command that you use for downloading of that hook,
along with the error message it prints. Be sure to use a correct port
number (this has to go through Gerrit's SSH at port 29418, not the
systemwide one at port 22).

Cheers,
Jan

curl: (52) Empty reply from server

So I am able to do a git clone anonymously and get a copy of the repository from the gerrit server. But gerrit is not supplying the hook. So you are right, the hook may well be in the gerrit server but getting it is not working. Any ideas?  

As an aside, if gerrit is not running then curl just waits and racks up the seconds. But with the server running, the reply is instant.

John

Have you tried installing it again on a separate machine *without* SSL and with a default config?

Strange that when Gerrit is down the CURL is hanged and not failing immediately for a connection refused error.
