How do I list all comments posted on my changes in gerrit?

Question

Here and there, colleague leaves a comment on my code changes which I post in gerrit. However to see them I have to:

• click on the gerrit change in the list of changes. This link does not even indicate whether anything was commented
  
• Then see a list of files and click on any that has something in the Comments column
  
• Then I can read the comment

It would be much better to see a list of code fragments which have comments, sorted by time. That way, I wouldn't have to click all over my edit history.

How do I list all comments posted on my changes in gerrit?

Answer 1

You could try to use REST to retrive this kind of info.

1) To list all open changes created by you:

curl -s --request GET --netrc https://GERRIT-SERVER/a/changes/?q=owner:self+AND+status:open | sed 1d | jq --raw-output ".[] | ._number"

2) To list all comments (and their dates) on a change:

curl -s --request GET --netrc https://GERRIT-SERVER/a/changes/CHANGE-NUMBER/comments | sed 1d | jq --raw-output ".[] | .[] | {Updated: .updated, Message: .message}"

Doing 1 + 2:

for c in $(curl -s --request GET --netrc https://GERRIT-SERVER/a/changes/?q=owner:self+AND+status:open | sed 1d | jq --raw-output ".[] | ._number")
do
    curl -s --request GET --netrc https://GERRIT-SERVER/a/changes/$c/comments | sed 1d | jq --raw-output ".[] | .[] | {Updated: .updated, Message: .message}"
done
