title: Gerrit

Gerrit

Gerrit is the code review system used by the OpenStack project. For a full description of how the system fits into the OpenStack workflow, see the GerritJenkinsGit wiki article.

This section describes how Gerrit is configured for use in the OpenStack project and the tools used to manage that configuration.

Gerrit Documentation

Installation

Gerrit is installed and configured by Puppet, including specifying the exact Java WAR file that is used. See sysadmin for how Puppet is used to manage OpenStack infrastructure systems.

Cinder Volumes

The Gerrit installation at /home/gerrit2 is located on a Cinder volume. See cinder for details on volume management. Note that SSD volumes are used (and they have a minimum size of 100G).

Gerrit Configuration

Most of Gerrit's configuration is in configuration files or Git repositories (and in our case, managed by Puppet), but a few items must be configured in the database. The following is a record of these changes:

Add information about the CLA:

sudo -u root
mysql
use reviewdb;
insert into contributor_agreements values (
'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'ICLA',
'OpenStack Individual Contributor License Agreement',
'static/cla.html', 2);

Groups

A number of system-wide groups are configured in Gerrit (rather than via Puppet). When installing a new Gerrit you should create these by hand (and capture their UUID - you will need them to setup the ACLs later).

The Project Bootstrappers group grants all the permissions needed to set up a new project. Normally the OpenStack Project Creater account is the only member of this group, but members of the Administrators group may temporarily add themselves in order to correct problems with automatic project creation.

The Third-Party CI group is used to grant +/-1 Verified access to external testing tools on a sandbox project.

The Voting Third-Party CI group is used to grant +/-1 Verified access to external testing tools for all projects.

The Continuous Integration Tools group contains Jenkins and any other CI tools that get +2/-2 access on reviews.

The Release Managers group is used for release managers.

The Stable Maintainers group is used for people maintaining stable branches - often distinct from the folk maintaining projects.

Users

The first user to log in becomes an administrator. Be sure to set an account name and add ssh keys - you'll need those.

Once you've created your groups you should create the openstack-project-creator account by hand (the account name is referenced from modules/openstack_project/templates/review.projects.ini.erb) using:

cat $pubkey | ssh -p 29418 $USER@$HOST gerrit create-account \
  --group "'Project Bootstrappers'" \
  --group Administrators \
  --full-name "'Project Creator'" \
  --email openstack-infra@lists.openstack.org \
  --ssh-key - openstack-project-creator

GitHub Integration

Gerrit replicate to GitHub by pushing to a standard Git remote. The GitHub projects are configured to allow only the Gerrit user to push.

Pull requests can not be disabled for a project in Github, so instead we have a script that runs from cron to close any open pull requests with instructions to use Gerrit.

These are both handled automatically by jeepyb.

Note that the user running gerrit will need to accept the github host keys. e.g.:

sudo su - gerrit2
ssh github.com

Auto Review Expiry

Puppet automatically installs a daily cron job called expire-old-reviews onto the gerrit servers. This script follows two rules:

If the review hasn't been touched in 2 weeks, mark as abandoned.

If there is a negative review and it hasn't been touched in 1 week, mark as abandoned.

If your review gets touched by either of these rules it is possible to unabandon a review on the gerrit web interface.

This process is managed by the jeepyb openstack-infra project.

Gerrit IRC Bot

Gerritbot consumes the Gerrit event stream and announces relevant events on IRC. gerritbot is an openstack-infra project and is also available on Pypi.

Launchpad Bug Integration

In addition to the hyperlinks provided by the regex in gerrit.config, we use a Gerrit hook to update Launchpad bugs when changes referencing them are applied. This is managed by the jeepyb openstack-infra project.

New Project Creation

Gerrit project creation is now managed through changes to the openstack-infra/config repository. jeepyb handles automatically creating any new projects defined in the configuration files.

Local Git Replica

Gerrit replicates all repos to a local directory so that Apache can serve the anonymous http requests out directly. This is automatically configured by jeepyb.

Access Controls

High level goals:

Anonymous users can read all projects.
All registered users can perform informational code review (+/-1) on any project.
Jenkins can perform verification (blocking or approving: +/-1).
All registered users can create changes.
The OpenStack Release Manager and Jenkins can tag releases (push annotated tags).
Members of $PROJECT-core group can perform full code review (blocking or approving: +/- 2), and submit changes to be merged.
Members of Release Managers (Release Manager and delegates), and $PROJECT-milestone (PTL and release minded people) exclusively can perform full code review (blocking or approving: +/- 2), and submit changes to be merged on pre-release proposed/* branches.
Full code review (+/- 2) of API projects (documentation of the API, not implementation of the API) should be available to the -core group of the corresponding implementation project as well as to the OpenStack Documentation Coordinators.
Full code review of stable branches should be available to the -core group of the project as well as the Stable Maintainers group.
Drivers (PTL and delegates) of client library projects should be able to add tags (which are automatically used to trigger releases).

To manage API project permissions collectively across projects, API projects are reparented to the "API-Projects" meta-project instead of "All-Projects". This causes them to inherit permissions from the API-Projects project (which, in turn, inherits from All-Projects).

The global gerrit permissions set out the high level goals (and manage-projects can then override this on a per project basis as needed). To setup the global permissions first create the groups covered above under Groups.

You need to grant yourself enough access to replace the ACLs over ssh (we use SSH because it's fast, and it gets syntax checked).

Visit https://$HOST/#/admin/projects/All-Projects,access and click on Edit.
Look for the reference to 'refs/meta/config', click on the drop-box for 'add permission' and choose 'PUSH'.
Type in Administrators as the group name
Click on Add
Click on Save Changes

Then... we need to fetch the All-Projects ACLs, update them, then push the updates back into Gerrit:

export USER=$your_gerrit_user
export HOST=$your_gerrit_hos
cd $anywhereyoulike
mkdir All-Projects-ACLs
cd All-Projects-ACLs
git init
git remote add gerrit ssh://$USER@$HOST:29418/All-Projects.git
git fetch gerrit +refs/meta/*:refs/remotes/gerrit-meta/*
git checkout -b config remotes/gerrit-meta/config

There will be two interesting files, groups and project.config. groups contains UUIDs and names of groups that will be referenced in project.config. UUIDs can be found on the group page in gerrit. Next, edit project.config to look like:

[access "refs/*"]
create = group Project Bootstrappers
create = group Release Managers
forgeAuthor = group Registered Users
forgeCommitter = group Project Bootstrappers
push = +force group Project Bootstrappers

[label "Code-Review"]
abbreviation = R
copyAllScoresOnTrivialRebase = true
copyMinScore = true
function = MaxWithBlock
value = -2 Do not merge
value = -1 I would prefer that you didn't merge this

value = +2 Verified

[label "Workflow"]
function = MaxWithBlock
value = -1 Work in progress
value = 0 Ready for reviews
value = +1 Approved

[project]
description = Rights inherited by all other projects

Now edit the groups file. The format is:

#UUID  Group Name
1234567890123456789012345678901234567890  group-foo

Each of the groups listed above under 'Groups' should have an entry as well as the built in groups such as 'Non-Interactive Users' which may or may not be present in the initial groups file. You can find the UUID values by navigating to Admin -> Groups -> Group Name -> General in the Web UI.

Finally, commit the changes and push the config back up to Gerrit:

git commit -am "Initial All-Projects config"
git push gerrit HEAD:refs/meta/config

Manual Administrative Tasks

The following sections describe tasks that individuals with root access may need to perform on rare occasions.

Renaming a Project

Renaming a project is not automated and is disruptive to developers, so it should be avoided. Allow for an hour of downtime for the project in question, and about 10 minutes of downtime for all of Gerrit. All Gerrit changes, merged and open, will carry over, so in-progress changes do not need to be merged before the move.

To rename a project:

Prepare a change to the Puppet configuration which updates projects.yaml/ACLs and jenkins-job-builder for the new name.
Stop puppet on review.openstack.org to prevent your interim configuration changes from being reset by the project management routines:
```
sudo puppetd --disable
```

Gracefully stop Zuul on zuul.openstack.org:

sudo kill -USR1 $(cat /var/run/zuul/zuul.pid)
rm -f /var/run/zuul/zuul.pid /var/run/zuul/zuul.lock

Stop Gerrit on review.openstack.org:
```
sudo invoke-rc.d gerrit stop
```

Update the database on review.openstack.org:

sudo mysql --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf reviewdb

update account_project_watches
set project_name = "openstack/NEW"
where project_name = "openstack/OLD";

update changes
set dest_project_name = "openstack/NEW", created_on = created_on
where dest_project_name = "openstack/OLD";

Move both the git repository and the mirror on review.openstack.org:

sudo mv ~gerrit2/review_site/git/openstack/{OLD,NEW}.git
sudo mv /var/lib/git/openstack/{OLD,NEW}.git

Reindex the lucene search index on review.openstack.org:

sudo su - gerrit2
cp -ax review_site/index index.backup.`date +%s`
java -jar review_site/bin/gerrit.war reindex -d /home/gerrit2/review_site

Move the git repository on git{01-04}.openstack.org:
```
sudo mv /var/lib/git/openstack/{OLD,NEW}.git
```
Start Gerrit on review.openstack.org:
```
sudo invoke-rc.d gerrit start
```
Start Zuul on zuul.openstack.org:
```
sudo invoke-rc.d zuul start
```
Merge the prepared Puppet configuration change, removing the original Jenkins jobs via the Jenkins WebUI later if needed.
Start puppet again on review.openstack.org:
```
sudo puppetd --enable
```
Rename the project in GitHub or, if this is a move to a new org, let the project management run create it for you and then remove the original later (assuming you have sufficient permissions).
If this is an org move and the project name itself is not changing, gate jobs may fail due to outdated remote URLs. Clear the workspaces on persistent Jenkins slaves to mitigate this:
```
sudo ansible-playbook -f 10 /etc/ansible/clean_workspaces.yaml --extra-vars "project=PROJECTNAME"
```
Again, if this is an org move rather than a rename and the GitHub project has been created but is empty, trigger replication to populate it:
```
ssh -p 29418 review.openstack.org replication start --all
```
Submit a change that updates .gitreview with the new location of the project.

Developers will either need to re-clone a new copy of the repository, or manually update their remotes with something like:

git remote set-url origin https://git.openstack.org/$ORG/$PROJECT

Third-Party Testing Access

The command to add an account for an automated system which gets -1/+1 code verify voting rights (as outlined in Third Party Testing) looks like:

ssh -p 29418 review.openstack.org "gerrit create-account \
    --group 'Third-Party CI' \
    --full-name 'Some CI Bot' \
    --email ci-bot@third-party.org \
    --ssh-key 'ssh-rsa AAAAB3Nz...zaUCse1P ci-bot@third-party.org' \
    some-ci-bot"

Details on the create-account command can be found in the Gerrit API documentation.

Resetting a Username in Gerrit

Initially if a Gerrit username (which is used to associate SSH connections to an account) has not yet been set, the user can type it into the Gerrit WebUI... but there is no supported way for the user to alter or correct it once entered. Further, if a defunct account has the desired username, a different one will have to be entered.

Because of this, often due to the user ending up with Duplicate Accounts in Gerrit, it may be requested to change the SSH username of an account. Confirm the account_id number for the account in question and remove the existing username external_id for that (it may also be necessary to remove any lingering external_id with the desired username if confirmed there is a defunct account associated with it):

delete from account_external_ids where account_id=NNNN and external_id like 'username:%';

After this, the user should be able to re-add their username through the Gerrit WebUI.

Duplicate Accounts in Gerrit

From time to time, outside events affecting SSO authentication or identity changes can result in multiple Gerrit accounts for the same user. This frequently causes duplication of preferred E-mail addresses, which also renders the accounts unselectable in some parts of the WebUI (notably when trying to add reviewers to a change or members in a group). Gerrit does not provide a supported mechanism for Combining Gerrit Accounts, and doing so manually is both time-consuming and error prone. As a result, the OpenStack infrastructure team does not combine duplicate accounts for users but can clean up these E-mail address issues upon request. To find the offending duplicates:

select account_id from accounts where preferred_email='user@example.com';

Find out from the user which account_id is the one they're currently using, and then null out the others with:

update accounts set preferred_email=NULL, registered_on=registered_on where account_id=OLD;

Then flush Gerrit's caches so any immediate account lookups will hit the current DB contents:

ssh review.openstack.org -p29418 gerrit flush-caches --all

Combining Gerrit Accounts

While not supported by Gerrit, a fairly thorough account merge is documented here (mostly as a demonstration of its unfortunate complexity). Please note that the OpenStack infrastructure team does not combine duplicate accounts for users upon request, but this would be the process to follow if it becomes necessary under some extraordinary circumstance.

Collect as much information as possible about all affected accounts, and then go poking around in the tables listed below for additional ones to determine the account_id number for the current account and any former accounts which should be merged into it. Then for each old account_id, perform these update and delete queries:

delete from account_agreements where account_id=OLD;
delete from account_diff_preferences where id=OLD;
delete from account_external_ids where account_id=OLD;
delete from account_group_members where account_id=OLD;
delete from account_group_members_audit where account_id=OLD;
delete from account_project_watches where account_id=OLD;
delete from account_ssh_keys where account_id=OLD;
delete from accounts where account_id=OLD;
update account_patch_reviews set account_id=NEW where account_id=OLD;
update starred_changes set account_id=NEW where account_id=OLD;
update change_messages set author_id=NEW, written_on=written_on where author_id=OLD;
update changes set owner_account_id=NEW, created_on=created_on where owner_account_id=OLD;
update patch_comments set author_id=NEW, written_on=written_on where author_id=OLD;
update patch_sets set uploader_account_id=NEW, created_on=created_on where uploader_account_id=OLD;
update patch_set_approvals set account_id=NEW, granted=granted where account_id=OLD;

If that last update query results in a collision with an error like:

ERROR 1062 (23000): Duplicate entry 'XXX-YY-NEW' for key 'PRIMARY'

Then you can manually delete the old approval:

delete from patch_set_approvals where account_id=OLD and change_id=XXX and patch_set_id=YY;

And repeat until the update query runs to completion.

After all the described deletes and updates have been applied, flush Gerrit's caches so things like authentication will be rechecked against the current DB contents:

ssh review.openstack.org -p29418 gerrit flush-caches --all

Make the user aware that these steps have also removed any group memberships, preferences, SSH keys, contact information, CLA signatures, and so on associated with the old account so some of these may still need to be added to the new one via the Gerrit WebUI if they haven't been already. With a careful inspection of all accounts involved it is possible to merge some information from the old accounts into new ones by performing update queries similar to the deletes above, but since this varies on a case-by-case basis it's left as an exercise for the reader.

Deleting a User from Gerrit

This isn't normally necessary, but if you find that you need to completely delete an account from Gerrit, perform the same delete queries mentioned in Combining Gerrit Accounts and replace the update queries for account_patch_reviews and starred_changes with:

delete from account_patch_reviews where account_id=OLD;
delete from starred_changes where account_id=OLD;

The other update queries can be ignored, since deleting them in many cases would result in loss of legitimate review history.
