Gerrit configuration

Perforce provides a custom Python plug-in script named gconn-change-merged.py. When properly renamed, the script enables Gerrit to generate a webhook for a specific type of Git commit, either change-merged or ref-update. You might want to have two copies of the script, one for each type of action.

System requirements with Gerrit

  • Helix Git Connector 2017.1 July patch or later
  • Gerrit version 2.13 or 2.14 installed and working on the Git server with Python version of 2.7.x. or later
  • The Perforce webhook for Gerrit gconn-change-merged.py, which is in the /opt/perforce/git-connector/bin directory of the Git Connector
  • A user in the Gerrit application that is limited to the minimal privileges necessary for mirroring
  • A source repo in Gerrit that already exists and is not empty
Important

The target repo must NOT already exist in Helix Server.

The source repo must NOT be empty.
