Commits can be rejected due to the following issues in the commit message: - Change-Id tag is missing or incorrectly formatted - Multiple Change-Id tags are present - Signed-off-by tag is missing or does not specify the correct user However the error messages raised in these cases do not make it clear that the required tags are expected to be found in the footer (last paragraph) of the commit message. Update the error messages and related documentation to explicitly mention that the tags should be in the commit message footer. Change-Id: I7d2d2dfb66bed3697745733c4fe19c177e9bc56b

not Signed-off-by author/committer/uploader in commit message footer
|
|
====================================================================
|
|
|
|
Projects in Gerrit can be configured to require a link:user-signedoffby.html#Signed-off-by[Signed-off-by] in
|
|
the footer of the commit message to enforce that every change is signed by the
|
|
author, committer or uploader. If for a project a Signed-off-by is
|
|
required and the commit message footer does not contain it, Gerrit rejects
|
|
to push the commit with this error message.
|
|
|
|
This policy can be bypassed by having the access right
|
|
link:access-control.html#category_forge_committer['Forge Committer'].
|
|
|
|
This error may happen for different reasons if you do not have the
|
|
access right to forge the committer identity:
|
|
|
|
. missing Signed-off-by in the commit message footer
|
|
. Signed-off-by is contained in the commit message footer but it's neither
|
|
from the author, committer nor uploader
|
|
. Signed-off-by from the author, committer or uploader is contained
|
|
in the commit message but not in the footer (last paragraph)
|
|
|
|
To be able to push your commits you have to update the commit
|
|
messages as explained link:error-push-fails-due-to-commit-message.html[here] so that they contain a Signed-off-by from
|
|
the author, committer or uploader in the last paragraph. However it
|
|
is important that you only add a Signed-off-by if you understand the
|
|
semantics of the link:user-signedoffby.html#Signed-off-by[Signed-off-by] and the commit applies to the rules
|
|
that are connected with this footer.
