Global configuration of the @PLUGIN@ plugin is done in the reviewers.config file in the site's etc directory.
[reviewers]
enableREST = true
suggestOnly = false
ignoreWip = false
mergeFilters = true
reviewers.enableREST : Enable the REST API. When set to false, the REST API is not available. Defaults to true.
reviewers.suggestOnly : Provide the configured reviewers as suggestions in the “Add Reviewer” dialog instead of automatically adding them to the change. Only supports accounts; groups are not suggested. Defaults to false. By default Gerrit will consider the suggestions with a weight of 1. To force the suggestions higher in the list, set a higher value (like 1000) in addReviewer.@PLUGIN@-reviewer-suggestion.weight in gerrit.config.
reviewers.ignoreWip : Ignore changes in WIP state. When set to true changes in WIP state are not considered when adding reviewers. Defaults to true. To enable adding reviewers on changes in WIP state set this value to false.
reviewers.mergeFilters : Decides whether to merge the filter-sections from parent projects or not. If set to false filter-sections in child project will override filter-sections, with identical filters, in the parent project(s). Defaults to true.
Per project configuration of the @PLUGIN@ plugin is done in the reviewers.config file of the refs/meta/config branch of the project. Missing values are inherited from the parent projects. This means a global default configuration can be done in the reviewers.config file of the All-Projects root project. Other projects can then override the configuration in their own reviewers.config file.
Editing per project configuration requires Owner or Administrator privileges. Per project configuration can be edited in the Web UI through the “Edit reviewers config” action on the project's repo command page. You could also choose to edit the reviewers.config file through the inline edit feature.
[filter "*"]
reviewer = john.doe@example.com
cc = DevGroup
[filter "branch:main file:^lib/.*"]
reviewer = jane.doe@example.com
[filter "branch:stable-2.10"]
reviewer = QAGroup
filter.<filter>.reviewer : An account or a group name. Must be an exact match (case sensitive) with the account's email address or username, or the group name. Multiple reviewer occurrences are allowed.
NOTE: Reviewers are added in the context of the uploader which means that if a group is configured it needs to be visible to the uploader for reviewers to be added.
filter.<filter>.cc : An account or a group name. Must be an exact match (case sensitive) with the account's email address or username, or the group name. Multiple cc occurrences are allowed.
The plugin supports multiple filter matches. If a reviewer, according to filter matches, should be added as both reviewer and cc, reviewer takes precedence.
