             Summary: Check out the Gerrit verify-status plugin
                 Key: OVIRT-1779
                 URL: https://ovirt-jira.atlassian.net/browse/OVIRT-1779
             Project: oVirt - virtualization made easy
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Gerrit/git
            Reporter: Barak Korren
            Assignee: infra


The Gerrit [verify-status plugin|https://gerrit.googlesource.com/plugins/verify-status/+doc/master/src/main/resources/Documentation/about.md] allows separating CI output from normal review comments in Gerrit.

This plugin can be very useful for us as we want to increase the amount of tests a single project runs in parallel as well as to allow different tests to deliver ouput out of sync from one another.

The plugin source code can be found [here|https://gerrit.googlesource.com/plugins/verify-status/]. It seems there is also a dedicated [Jenkins plugin|https://github.com/jenkinsci/gerrit-verify-status-reporter-plugin] for interacting with this plugin. We may not need or be able to use it since it seems to be hard-wired to the 'Verify' flag.

It seems this plugin is used in [OpenStack Gerrit|https://review.openstack.org/#/c/515413/]. They are still using to old UI there, so it may be the case that the new UI does not support displaying output of this plugin.

There is a new [robot comments|https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/config-robot-comments.html] feature in gerrit (Not supported in the UI yet) that may end up providing similar functionality to this plugin.
