Trying to contribute

bjoern.thiel

I just tried to send a patch but failed:

Following http://wiki.qt.io/Qt_Contribution_Guidelines I tried to log into
Gerrit using my Qt account, but my e-mail seems to be missing although
I just used it to sign in.
If I try to register my e-mail clicking onto the link of the verification mail I
get the following page:

Code Review - Error
Server Error
Identity in use by another account
[Continue]

What can I do?

Pablo J. Rogina

@bjoern.thiel just in case, have you followed the Gerrit registration steps?

bjoern.thiel

@Pablo-J.-Rogina Yes, the error occurs at step 3.

@tero-kojo, can you help here?

bjoern.thiel

You mean @tekojo ?

tekojo

@bjoern.thiel yes, he means me :)
( @aha_1980 that other account is for testing purposes. Sometimes a normal account is needed)

It looks like you have an account ok. (and you already contributed one patch in 2015, thank you!)
So you definitely can't re-register an account.

How exactly is your email/account missing in Gerrit? You can log into https://codereview.qt-project.org/ right?

It could be a case of you having an old account, and now you created a new one. But the email should be the key on both forum and codereview.
Is it possible that you forgot the old account?
(it's probably a case for @jukka anyway)

I can log into https://codereview.qt-project.org/ but there is no e-mail registered.
And if I try to register my e-mail I receive a verification mail and clicking onto the link
I get the following page:

Code Review - Error
Server Error
Identity in use by another account
[Continue]

So basically I'm stuck.

Fixed. Many thanks.

Pablo J. Rogina

@bjoern.thiel two things please.

Could you describe how this was fixed? Something you did? Something the site's admins did?
If your issue is solved don't forget to mark the post as such.

Thanks.

Oswald Buddenhagen wrote me an e-mail and took care of it.
