Gerrit Owners-Autoassign Plugin

The owners-autoassign plugin has the ability to parse the OWNERS file in the repository for defining who is the owner of the components in a repository. The plugin find the owners of every change and automatically add them as reviewers or CC.

For details on how to configure either plugin, please refer to the docs in the specific plugin's folder.

NOTE: A comprehensive introduction to both owners and owners-autoassign has been given as part of the GerritMeets series in Jan 2025. While a further deep dive specifically into newer features of this plugin was give at the GerritMeets in April 2026

owners-autoassign

This plugin parses the same OWNERS file format as the owners plugin. It will automatically assign all of the owners as reviewers to newly created or updated changes. It also allows for completely custom management of the attention set, i.e. allows, via custom integrations, to not add people on holiday to the attention set, or that the same user is not added to too many changes at the same time, etc...

Building the plugins

This plugin is built with Bazel in Gerrit tree

Create symbolic links of the owners and owners-autoassign folders to the Gerrit source code /plugins directory.

Create a symbolic link of the owners-common-api plugin to the Gerrit source code /plugins directory.

Then build the owners and owners-autoassign plugins with the usual Gerrit plugin compile command.

Example:

  git clone https://gerrit.googlesource.com/plugins/owners
  git clone https://gerrit.googlesource.com/plugins/owners-common-api
  git clone --recurse-submodules https://gerrit.googlesource.com/gerrit
  cd gerrit/plugins
  ln -s ../../owners .
  ln -s ../../owners-common-api .
  ln -sf owners-common-api/external_plugin_deps.bzl.MODULE.bazel .
  cd ..
  bazel build plugins/owners-autoassign

NOTE: the owners-common folder is producing shared artifacts for the two plugins and does not need to be built separately being a direct dependency of the build process. Its resulting .jar must not be installed in gerrit plugins directory.

The output is created in

  bazel-bin/plugins/owners-autoassign/owners-autoassign.jar

To execute the tests run:

  bazel test plugins/owners-autoassign/...

This project can be imported into the Eclipse IDE:

Add the plugin name to the CUSTOM_PLUGINS (and in case when you want to run tests from the IDE to CUSTOM_PLUGINS_TEST_DEPS) in Gerrit core in tools/bzl/plugins.bzl file and run:

  ./tools/eclipse/project.py
