Fix excessive credential checks on fetch errors

This commit fixes a couple of bugs introduced in
I37db2f6e4dbf9632342ce853fae21f39d723a340. These bugs are particularly
noticeable if all fetches are failing for some reason. For example,
we discovered this problem on googlesource.com when a backend change
resulted in some users experiencing cross-origin 302 redirects on all
REST API calls (which materialized in PolyGerrit as fetch errors).

The specific bugs are:

1. The checkCredentials() method was called twice per failure (once
   immediately, and once via this.debounce).

2. The request made by checkCredentials() may raise a fetch error,
   which was not being caught, therefore triggering a loop of
   credential checks.

This commit adds tests against these scenarios, and simplifies the
fetch error credential checking logic to avoid these problems. Instead
of using debounce, a new boolean property makes checkCredentials() a
no-op if there is a checkCredentials() promise outstanding. An exception
handler is added to the checkCredentials() promise to interrupt any
[fetch error -> checkCredentials()] loop.

Gerrit Code Review

Gerrit is a code review and project management tool for Git based projects.

Build Status

Objective

Gerrit makes reviews easier by showing changes in a side-by-side display, and allowing inline comments to be added by any reviewer.

Gerrit simplifies Git based project maintainership by permitting any authorized user to submit changes to the master Git repository, rather than requiring all approved changes to be merged in by hand by the project maintainer.

Documentation

For information about how to install and use Gerrit, refer to the documentation.

Source

Our canonical Git repository is located on googlesource.com. There is a mirror of the repository on Github.

Reporting bugs

Please report bugs on the issue tracker.

Contribute

Gerrit is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help!

Please read the contribution guidelines.

Note that we do not accept Pull Requests via the Github mirror.

Getting in contact

The IRC channel on freenode is #gerrit. An archive is available at: echelog.com.

Build

Install Bazel and run the following:

    git clone --recursive https://gerrit.googlesource.com/gerrit
    cd gerrit && bazel build release

Install binary packages (Deb/Rpm)

The instruction how to configure GerritForge/BinTray repositories is here

On Debian/Ubuntu run:

    apt-get update & apt-get install gerrit=<version>-<release>

NOTE: release is a counter that starts with 1 and indicates the number of packages that have been released with the same version of the software.

On CentOS/RedHat run:

    yum clean all && yum install gerrit-<version>[-<release>]

On Fedora run:

    dnf clean all && dnf install gerrit-<version>[-<release>]

Use pre-built Gerrit images on Docker

Docker images of Gerrit are available on DockerHub

To run a CentOS 7 based Gerrit image:

    docker run -p 8080:8080 gerritforge/gerrit-centos7[:version]

To run a Ubuntu 15.04 based Gerrit image:

    docker run -p 8080:8080 gerritforge/gerrit-ubuntu15.04[:version]

NOTE: release is optional. Last released package of the version is installed if the release number is omitted.
