Please, User:Shirayuki, notice the previous line in the Czech translation. Something is wrong with this line
Talk:Gerrit/Troubleshooting
@Rebulka Thanks for finding this! This looks like a misbehavior in the software itself and nothing wrong with the translations, so I reported it as a bug in phab:T367669. (I could not find a Phabricator account of yours to subscribe you.)
Looks like casual users cannot see this:
Access Denied: Restricted Task
You do not have permission to view this object. Users with the "Can View" capability:
This object has a custom policy controlling who can take this action. The owner of a task can always view and edit it.
Thank you for your response. I don't have an account. I only try to be a thorough translator.
Hi! I'm attempting to add a change to languages/i18n/en.json to https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/core/+/714448 via the web interface (part of phab:T151682), but I keep getting this error:
An error occurred Error 502 (Bad Gateway): <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"> <html><head> <title>502 Bad Gateway</title> </head><body> <h1>Bad Gateway</h1> <p>The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.<br /> </p> </body></html> Endpoint: /changes/*~*/edit/*
Could someone help?
Are you using patch uploader for that? Pushing directly via SSH from the command line?
I'm fairly new to git and didn't realize I could patch multiple files with a single diff. I uploaded a single file through PatchUploader (resulting in the linked patch), and then tried to add the others by editing through the web interface, which invariably resulted in the error above. I cannot change the uploaded file, nor add additional files. I would upload a new patch with the three files all in one, but there also isn't an option to abandon the current patch (presumably because Gerrit Patch Uploader is set as the owner).
Let's move this to Phabricator: task T289642.
when i run git clone ssh://qdinar@gerrit.wikimedia.org:29418/mediawiki/core.git mediawiki i get : " The authenticity of host ... can't be established. RSA key fingerprint is ....". i asked about this in irc and i got this answer: " this is the right fingerprint https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:SSH_Fingerprints/gerrit.wikimedia.org:29418 " " https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Help%3ASSH_Fingerprints%2Fgerrit.wikimedia.org%3A29418&type=revision&diff=1908069&oldid=1872718 ". then i compared fingerpints and typed yes, enter. i think this may help somebody. (copied from https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:Wba935o4h49w537z ).
now, i think, i needed not to copy this here. editors of this page probably review discussions of gerrit tutorials and add topics from there to this page.
Thank you @Qdinar: - I have added https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Gerrit/Troubleshooting&diff=4657657&oldid=4602949 - can you read this and tell me if this is clear enough? « Saper // talk » 20:28, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
yes, it seems clear to me, but it may be not clear to somebody
If you have some ideas how to improve the text, please feel free to edit it... don't worry if you make mistakes!
Good day! In the first steps I have written "yes" after $ssh -p 29418 gerrituser@gerrit.wikimedia.org but then it haven't been continued. So the next time I have had an error like this "debug1: No more authentication methods to try. ...@gerrit.wikimedia.org: Permission denied (publickey)." and I cannot find on your page how this problem may be solved. Two variants mentioned here are not devoted to this case.
@Фәрһад What is your user name for your Wikitech developer account, and which exact complete command did you enter (copy and paste, please)?
user:AKlapper (WMF), in wikipedia and other neighbouring projects my name is written in cyrillic script "Фәрһад". For gerrit it passed not, so I create another account with only latin letters "Faerhad". As it was written here I have made all the steps before this in step "$ssh -p 29418 gerrituser@gerrit.wikimedia.org". it always write "Identity added: .ssh/id_rsa (Фәрһад@F▒rhad)" but the next step don't pass.
@Фәрһад If you are following the Gerrit/Tutorial#Add SSH Private key to use with Git and if you literally entered "ssh -p 29418 gerrituser@gerrit.wikimedia.org" then you did not read the instructions which say "Replace gerrituser by your username".
Edit: Ah, and if you follow https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit/Troubleshooting#%22Permission_denied_(publickey)%22_error then you should replace "username" with your username.
I have found a mistake in previous steps... So now it has been improved. Thanks!
I tried cloning the "REL1_31" core branch and then submitting a change for review, but while doing so, got several lines that say "remote: ERROR: Implicit Merge of" as well as one line that says "! [remote rejected] HEAD -> refs/publish/master/(branch name) (implicit merges detected)" and another line that says "error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://geoffreytrang@gerrit.wikimedia.org:29418/mediawiki/core.git'". Perhaps, a new subsection about the "implicit merge" issue should be added under the "Miscellaneous" section.
1. Can you post the exact command used to publish the change?
2. Can you post the output of the command
git log HEAD ^REL1_31
while you are on the branch containing your changes?
From the Gerrit documentation:
* New project option to reject implicit merge commits.
The 'Reject Implicit Merges' option can be enabled to prevent non-merge commits from implicitly bringing unwanted changes into a branch. This can happen for example when a commit is made based on one branch but is mistakenly pushed to another, for example based onrefs/heads/masterbut pushed torefs/for/stable.
Most probably you are trying to push your commits to master (git push <gerrit> HEAD:refs/for/master) instead of submitting them to REL1_31 (git push <gerrit> HEAD:refs/for/REL1_31).
Who can amend other's changes? How to deal with the message above the best way? « Saper // talk » 09:35, 12 November 2019 (UTC)
Might also be a question for https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit/Privilege_policy ...
I want to modify the file https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/GTWN/browse/master/groups/Wikimedia/CommonsAndroid.yaml
So I cloned using the URL https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/p/translatewiki
Following the instructions at Gerrit/Tutorial#Prepare to work with Gerrit I uploaded my SSH public key, modified and added/committed the file. Then whenI ran git review -R I got prompted for a a username and password. Despite entering the name that appears near Username at https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/settings/ and the password I use successfully to log into https://gerrit.wikimedia.org, it failed:
~/src/translatewiki$ git review -R
Username for 'https://gerrit.wikimedia.org': nicolas-raoul
Password for 'https://nicolas-raoul@gerrit.wikimedia.org':
remote: Unauthorized
fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/p/translatewiki/'
What am I doing wrong?
Which exact full complete command did you use for cloning?
When it asks for your password, you have to use the HTTP password from https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/settings/http-password
Don't people usually clone using the ssh:// protocol and not https?
That's why I asked for the full complete command, indeed :)
I was using the wrong URL indeed. It works now, with SSH :-)
The trick seems to be that at https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/admin/projects/translatewiki you can not see the SSH URL unless you log in.
Thanks all!
