Note: Resave your repository settings in your projects, which use Gerrit, to store your settings with the most recent format and save mechanisms.
- Login as admin.
- Select 'Configure Plan' under 'Actions' in the dropdown menu on the right.
- Select the 'Source Repositoryies' Tab.
- Select 'Add Repository'.
By default, gReview is configured to draw down changes from Gerrit using the master branch. If you choose, you may overide this setting and configure to poll all branches or a specific custom branch. However, keep in mind, this setting may be redundant if you use Bamboo's branching features. If you choose to overide the default branch, you will find the settings available here:
- Login as admin.
- Select 'Configure Plan' under 'Actions' in the dropdown menu on the right.
- Select the 'Source Repositoryies' Tab.
- Select the repository you intend to configure.
- If the repository is 'linked', follow the link to your repository.
- Goto 'Advanced options'
- Under 'Default Branch', select master, 'All branches', or specify your custom branch.
- Save
- Login as admin.
- Select 'Plan Configuration' under 'Actions' in the dropdown menu on the right.
- Select the 'Stages' Tab.
- Select the job you're interested in. Usually there is only one, 'Default Job'.
- Under the job configuration, select the "Miscellaneous" tab.
- Check 'Run Gerrit Verification after main build.'
Gerrit change information is available under the Build Summary Gerrit Tab
- Login as admin.
- Select 'Configure Plan' under 'Actions' in the dropdown menu on the right.
- Select the 'Source Repositoryies' Tab.
- Select an existing Gerrit Repository or add one.
- Drop down 'Advanced Options' and select the GitWeb repository.
- Provide your details and save
- Login to Gerrit.
- Select Projects->List->'YourProject'
- Enter your new branch below beside "Branch Name"
- Provide the initial revision, leave as HEAD for branch off master
- Hit 'Create Branch'
- git fetch origin
- git checkout new-branch
- git checkout -b new-branch origin/master
- git checkout master
- git push origin HEAD:new-branch
- git checkout new-branch
- git push origin HEAD:refs/for/new-branch
- Go under 'Plan Configuration'=>'Triggers'.
- Select trigger which applies, usually the first trigger.
- Switch the setting from existing 'Polling the repository for changes' to 'Repository triggers the build when changes are committed'.
- Make sure the checkbox is selected for the repository you're using in your plan.
- If you enter an IP for security reasons, make sure it matches the hostname in your repo configuration. However, it should work fine if you leave empty.
- Hit 'Save'.
Make sure you have Gerrit setup correctly with SSH identity key generated and host used in the SSH connection string added to known host. Detailed instructions are available in the Gerrit documentation.
Note: Some builds will still hang in native msysgit mode on Windows due to the following issue with the bamboo-git-plugin: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BAM-11096.
You can work around this issue by manually adding your hostname, used in the repository configuration, to the msysgit/.ssh/known_hosts file. Example:
127.0.0.1 ssh-rsa XXXXB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABBBBgQC699HzXHwr1H6OJeVlRo7h4r+3PY d0wNkqzl6EUAeU2iZjqFqQL2ZiNVqs2JrpTNadbgtXBNk9rhQIWajQZG9ZJG/OPxe+NOkbWQVev rcELsw5N2wxcJOWz+ey1tFv3VCtNCLUGgF7yIg0kZZVQ+HvAzLoMbiHs0haVmEjnLherSw==
If this is an upgrade, and you encouter a NullException when attempting to build, you may need to resave your repository settings.Release 1.2.3 changed the way the ssh private key is stored for multiple repositories. Resaving should resolve this issue.
This is an old issue and has been fixed in new releases of Bamboo. Here's the ticket.
If problems persist, you can turn on debugging in the Administration console to help resolve and report issues. Steps to turn on debugging:
- Goto Administration->System->Log Settings
- Add com.houghtonassociates.bamboo.plugins=DEBUG
Check your Bamboo home directory for log output:
Ex: bamboo-home\logs\atlassian-bamboo.log
