Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Gerrit Patch Set Submission Problem

[Roland Knall <rknall@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Paul

You have a merge branch in between two syncro branches. That happens, when you are not working cleanly of branches, but instead pull changes into the master branch.

Take a look at 

git log

You should see your Syncro at the top, then a merge-branch and then again a syncro at the bottom. The issue here is, that you have not rebased cleanly on top of master after pulling the patchset fix, or that you have pulled the master into your syncro branch. Both things are bad.

There is a rather annoying step you have to do, and I suggest you do that with a graphical tool like "GitExtensions".

* Rename the review/unknown/syncro branch to something else (call it temp for instance)

* Remove it (your work is stored in temp)

* Checkout master locally

* Recheckout your last patchset (creating again the branch review/unknown/syncro)

* Now make a diff compare between your temp and the new syncro to import your new stuff

* make a "git commit --amend" in the syncro branch

* make a "git review" to upload the new patchset

This will solve it for you

cheers

Roland

Hi,

 

I’m struggling with git again.  I want to submit a new patch set for change 19666 - https://code.wireshark.org/review/#/c/19666/

 

When I try git review I get:

 

C:\Development\wireshark>git review

You are about to submit multiple commits. This is expected if you are

submitting a commit that is dependent on one or more in-review

commits. Otherwise you should consider squashing your changes into one

commit before submitting.

 

The outstanding commits are:

 

[33m519336c915[m[33m ([m[1;36mHEAD -> [m[1;32mreview/unknown/syncro[m[33m)[m Syncro: Program access to plugin_if via TCP

[33m25c72c3a24[m Merge branch 'master' of https://code.wireshark.org/review/wireshark into review/unknown/syncro

[33m5854989e62[m Syncro: Program access to plugin_if via TCP

 

Do you really want to submit the above commits?

Type 'yes' to confirm, other to cancel: yes

remote: Processing changes: refs: 1, done

remote: ERROR: missing Change-Id in commit message footer

remote:

remote: Hint: To automatically insert Change-Id, install the hook:

remote:   gitdir=$(git rev-parse --git-dir); scp -p -P 29418 PaulOfford@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:hooks/commit-msg ${gitdir}/hooks/

remote: And then amend the commit:

remote:   git commit --amend

remote:

To https://code.wireshark.org/review/wireshark

! [remote rejected]       HEAD -> refs/publish/master/syncro (missing Change-Id in commit message footer)

error: failed to push some refs to 'https://code.wireshark.org/review/wireshark'

 

It says the Change-Id is missing but that’s not true because if I check with git –amend I get:

 

Syncro: Program access to plugin_if via TCP

 

Extensive re-write of the code.  The C++ Qt code now

only handles the TCP server component.  All other code is written

in C.

 

Change-Id: I05e96a3efdfed13bf779fecde6677aa9f0a0c12c

 

# Please enter the commit message for your changes. Lines starting

# with '#' will be ignored, and an empty message aborts the commit.

# Date:      Tue Jul 4 22:41:41 2017 +0100

Sorry to keep bothering the list with repeated git questions, it’s just that I have spent more than an hour trying to overcome this.

 

Thanks and regards…Paul
