Not able to add comments on Gerrit. It rather gets added as Draft. What am I doing wrong?

Question

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.

Answer 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.)

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

And since I am not able to add a comment :

When you want to add comments to a specific revision(Patch Set), switch to that revision and then click on reply. This "Patch Sets" option is found on the upper right corner next to "Download".

Had to learn the Hard Way today. :-/

Answer 4

At least on Qt's Gerrit system:

After saving the comment draft, yse the keyboard shortcut 'r' to publish a "review" which publishes the comment.

Answer 5

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
