stderr: fatal: Couldn't find remote ref $GERRIT_REFSPEC

Question

Before anyone guns me down..I have looked at all the messages that has this error but they seem to manifest from a different problem,I couldn\'t get any substantial information.

Answer 1

• Go to the Job's Configure page and search to check This build is parameterized box.
• Then set Name to GERRIT_REFSPEC
• and Default value to refs/heads/master.

It took me some time to search for how to add this string parameter mentioned in the Gerrit Trigger plugin manual. I use Jenkins 1.567 with Gerrit Trigger 2.11.1.
