| = missing Change-Id in commit message footer |
| |
| With this error message Gerrit rejects to push a commit to a project |
| which is configured to always require a Change-Id in the commit |
| message if the commit message of the pushed commit does not contain |
| a Change-Id in the footer (the last paragraph). |
| |
| This error may happen for different reasons: |
| |
| . missing Change-Id in the commit message |
| . Change-Id is contained in the commit message but not in the last |
| paragraph |
| |
| You can see the commit messages for existing commits in the history |
| by doing a link:http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-log.html[git log]. |
| |
| To avoid this error you should use the link:cmd-hook-commit-msg.html[commit hook] or EGit to |
| automatically create and insert a unique Change-Id into the commit |
| message on every commit. |
| |
| |
| == Missing Change-Id in the commit message |
| |
| If the commit message of a commit that you want to push does not |
| contain a Change-Id you have to update its commit message and insert |
| a Change-Id. |
| |
| If you want to upload a new change to Gerrit make sure that you have |
| configured your environment so that a unique Change-Id is |
| automatically created and inserted on every commit as explained |
| above. Now you can rewrite the commits for which the Change-Ids are |
| missing and the Change-Ids will be automatically created and inserted |
| into the commit messages. This is explained link:error-push-fails-due-to-commit-message.html#commit_hook[here]. |
| |
| If you want to update an existing change in Gerrit by uploading a new |
| patch set you should copy its Change-Id from the Gerrit Web UI and |
| insert it into the commit message. How to update the commit message |
| is explained link:error-push-fails-due-to-commit-message.html[here]. |
| |
| |
| == Change-Id is contained in the commit message but not in the last paragraph |
| |
| To be picked up by Gerrit, a Change-Id must be in the last paragraph |
| of a commit message, for details, see link:user-changeid.html[Change-Id Lines]. |
| |
| If the Change-Id is contained in the commit message but not in its |
| last paragraph you have to update the commit message and move the |
| Change-ID into the last paragraph. How to update the commit message |
| is explained link:error-push-fails-due-to-commit-message.html[here]. |
