[Solved] How to setup Gerrit Mylyn task repository and queries [message #1710889]

Hello,

I would like to integrate my Gerrit instance to my setup. But I failed to do so.

First of all I failed to include my user name and password. If I specify them in the setup file there are errors about not base64 encoded strings.

What should I enter for 'Connector kind'? Just 'gerrit'? What kind of attributes are available? How do I set them? Is there any documentation on this? Or can you provide me a link to relevant source files?

Lots of questions ... Very Happy

Sorry.

A short explanation of how to setup such a task would be helpful.

Thanks in advance.

Dieter

I'm not sure what you mean by your Gerrit instance. Is this an issue
for cloning. Look at some of the other setups to see how they specify
choices of URIs some of which support gerrit...

Hello Ed,

instance = server

Perhaps I should explain my scenario a little bit more:

I have a gerrit server with serveral projects. In my setup file I managed to clone my projects into my local git root directory using SSH. I was able to checkout the projects into my workspace.

So cloning is not an issue.

I would like my gerrit server to appear in the task repositories view. My problem is if I specify my user name and password in the setup file, an error message apears that my password is not base64 encoded. I tried to encode it but then another error message says it must be a multiple of 8 (the encoded string has a length of 16 ???). Another question is if "gerrit" is the correct type for the "connector kind"?

Next thing I want to do is to create a query on the gerrit task repository. What are the attributes I should/could use? Is there a list of valid attributes?

Thanks.

Dieter

Dieter,

I think I see. Will your clones push to Gerrit?

For passwords, it seems bad to ever put them directly in the setup.
Better you define a variable of type password and have the system prompt
you for it and save it in secure storage so you don't need to enter it
each time. Have a look at the password variables in the two project
catalogs.

Hello Ed,

I got it working. For people with similar problems, I add the XML snippet:

  <setupTask
      xsi:type="mylyn:MylynQueriesTask"
      connectorKind="org.eclipse.mylyn.gerrit"
      repositoryURL="${URL of gerrit server}"
      userID="${eclipse.user.name}"
      password="${eclipse.user.password}">
    <query summary="open reviews">
      <attribute
          key="gerrit query type"
          value="all open changes"/>
      <attribute
          key="gerrit query project"/>
      <attribute
          key="gerrit query string"/>
    </query>
  </setupTask>

The reason it failed was that I used just 'gerrit' as connectorKind value, but it should be 'org.eclipse.mylyn.gerrit'. Now a task repository is created and the query is synchronizing.

One last question is still unclear to me:

What are the possible values for the query attributes for the Gerrit connector? Are these documented somewhere or is there some source code available where I can find these values?

By the way: Thank you very much for your excellent support, Ed!

Dieter

You can use the Net4j Introspector view to reflectively look at the internal dtata of any object that is selectable in
the workbench, such as an already configured Gerrit query. I use to install the introspector with this snippet:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<setup.p2:P2Task
xmi:version="2.0"
xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI"
xmlns:setup.p2="http://www.eclipse.org/oomph/setup/p2/1.0"
label="Net4j Utilities">
<requirement
name="org.eclipse.net4j.util.ui.feature.group"/>
<repository
url="http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/cdo/updates/integration"/>
</setup.p2:P2Task>

Cheers
