Someone uploaded a change to Gerrit. How can I test this change?

Another developer has made some changes and uploaded them to Gerrit. You might want to take a closer look in your IDE. The EGit plugin has support to make that very easy. The guide below will lead you through the necessary steps to fetch a change from Gerrit into a new local branch.

1. Select Fetch from Gerrit

   Right click on your project Saros and select Team → Remote → Fetch From Gerrit...

   

2. Fetch list of Changes

   Click on the Change field and use CTRL+SPACE to fetch a list of available changes.

   

3. Select a change from the dropdown list

   Select the change you want to modify. The entry "750 - 1" represents the 1st patch set of change no. 750, i.e. http://saros-build.imp.fu-berlin.de/gerrit/#/c/750/1.

   

4. Select a change from the dropdown

   After selecting a change the wizard will fill in the matching Git refspec, e.g. refs/changes/50/750/1.
   EGit will create and checkout the change in a new branch. Click Finish

   

5. Wait

   This may take some time.

   

6. Switched to local branch

   EGit will indicate that it switched to your new branch.
