gerrit-to-platform 0.2.2

Gerrit to GitHub / GitLab

gerrit-to-platform

Gerrit to GitHub / GitLab (not yet available)

Gerrit hooks to allow using GitHub and GitLab as CI platforms.

To use, install the Gerrit hooks plugin and then symlink the hooks from the virtualenv that has the package installed.

A Python 3.8 or greater environment

Repositories that use the CI platform must have full mirroring replication configured. In specific refs/* must be in the replication set and not refs/heads/*

To activate a given hook, symlink the installed hook in the gerrit hooks directory.

Two configuration files needed. These files are:

• ~gerrituser/.config/gerrit_to_platform/gerrit_to_platform.ini

• ~gerrituser/.config/gerrit_to_platform/replication.config

The replication.config file should be a symlink to the standard Gerrit replication.config file

The gerrit_to_platform.ini file has the following format:

[mapping "content-added"]
recheck = verify
remerge = merge

[github.com]
token = <a_token_that_allows_triggering_actions>

[gitlab.com]
token = <a_token_that_allows_triggering_workflows>

The content-added mapping section is a key value pair for comment triggers to the corresponding workflow name or filename

GitHub Workflow Configuration

There are three hooks that gerrit-to-platform handles:

• patchset-created (search filter: verify)

• change-merged (search filter: merge)

• comment-added (comment mapping for keyword to search filter)

Configuration for triggered workflows must meet the following requirements:

• The workflow filename must contain ‘gerrit’

• The workflow filename must contain the search filter

Required workflows must be part of the ORGANIZATION/.github magic repository. These workflow filenames must also contain ‘required’

ex: .github/workflows/gerrit-verify.yaml or .github/workflows/gerrit-required-verify.yaml

Standard workflows (non-required ones) must have the following primary configuration:

---
name: Gerrit Verify
