Add support for Gerrit as a hosting service
Review Request #8938 — Created May 11, 2017 and submitted — Latest diff uploaded
This patch adds support for Gerrit as a hosting service when the Gerrit
server has thegerrit-reviewboard
plugin installed (see: /r/8919/ et
al.). The Gerrit API does not provide sufficient information (e.g., it
cannot retrieve files by blob ID, cannot list commits, and cannot
retrieve diffs for arbitrary commits not related to changes), so we rely
on the plugin for this. This hosting service will check for the plugin's
presence via the Gerrit API and will not allow repositories without it
installed.
- Tested post-commit review request creation.
- Tested
rbt post
with a Gerrit-backed repository. - Ran unit tests.
