Not able to add comments on Gerrit. It rather gets added as Draft. What am I doing wrong? Others in my team are able to add comments though.


Solution 1:

Comments are published when you make them part of a review. Post a review and the comments will be published with it. (You can score the commit as +0 if you don't have any opinion either way.)

Solution 2:

Click on the Reply button in the header. Then Post it.

Solution 3:

For those who has happened to be stumbled (like me) with how to post comments for work-in-progress (WIP) review without starting review (e.g. leaving in work-in-progress state), Gerrit version 2.16. Here's counter-intuitive answer:

  • Press "START REVIEW" button - don't afraid, it will not start review immediately (at least on above mentioned version)
  • Press "SAVE" (greyish! not quite noticeable) in opened window in left bottom corner

UPDATE

In newer version I got 3.2.3 - it's been improved, the button is not greyish and looks normal and in the right bottom corner together with other buttons: | CANCEL | SAVE | SEND AND START REVIEW |
