While trying to submit a reviewboard request by running kafka-patch-review,
I was getting some errors which do not make any sense. The error claims
that a file did not exist in the repository but it did. Here is the error:
1. How the problems look like:
tong@u1404:/opt/stack/kafka$ python kafka-patch-review.py -b
origin/trunk -j KAFKA-1926
Configuring reviewboard url to https://reviews.apache.org

ERROR: Error validating diff
core/src/main/scala/kafka/utils/Utils.scala: The file was not found
in the repository. (HTTP 400, API Error 207)
ERROR: reviewboard update failed. Exiting.
2. Struggled a lot trying to figure out what the problem was. after tons of
googling, I decided to upgrading python-rbtools
tong@u1404:/opt/stack/kafka$ sudo apt-get install python-rbtools

3. Tried to run patch-review again. But the command stuck and seemed to me
it waits for some credentials. and it completely ignored the jira.ini file
4. Tried the command again, and it successfully posted patchset and updated
the jira issue after I blindly type in my user name, then provided
password:
tong@u1404:/opt/stack/kafka$ python kafka-patch-review.py -b
origin/trunk -j KAFKA-1926

Creating diff against origin/trunk and uploading patch to JIRA

Created a new reviewboard https://reviews.apache.org/r/31844/
5. it may be good to revisit the kafka-patch-review.py and see why it
ignores the jira.ini file.
When I posted the problem few days ago, I got no response from anyone, I
thought this maybe a problem that other may not have encountered. sending
to the mailing list in case anyone else stumbles on the same issue.
cheers.
