change ... closed

=================
|
|
|
|
With this error message Gerrit rejects to push a commit to a change
|
|
that is already closed.
|
|
|
|
This error occurs if you are trying to push a commit that contains
|
|
the Change-Id of a closed change in its commit message. A change can
|
|
be closed either because it was already submitted and merged or
|
|
because it was abandoned.
|
|
|
|
If the change for which you wanted to upload a new patch set was
|
|
already submitted and merged you may want to push your commit as a
|
|
new change. To do this you have to remove the Change-Id from the
|
|
commit message as explained link:error-push-fails-due-to-commit-message.html[here] and ideally generate a new Change-Id
|
|
using the link:cmd-hook-commit-msg.html[commit hook] or EGit. Before pushing again it is also
|
|
recommendable to do a link:http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-rebase.html[git rebase] to base your commit on the submitted
|
|
change. Pushing again should now create a new change in Gerrit.
|
|
|
|
If the change for which you wanted to upload a new patch set was
|
|
abandoned and your new changes overcome the reasons for abandoning
|
|
this change you may want to restore the change in the Gerrit WebUI
|
|
(browse the abandoned change in the Gerrit WebUI and click on the
|
|
'Restore Change' button). Afterwards the push should succeed and a
|
|
new patch set for this change will be created.
