We probably want to document this.  As a start, I put a hold on a job.

After I set /etc/hosts for review.opendev.org to the held node
locally, I could log into the test gerrit (otherwise i'm redirected to
the real site).

I then created a openstack/diskimage-builder project via the UI, just
for testing.  I started getting some errors which [2] resolved after a
container restart.

I copied in the raw git tree from the real openstack/diskimage-builder
git repo, and ran a re-index by sshing in as the 'Gerrit Code Review'
user using suexec

 ssh -i ~gerrit2/review_site/etc/ssh_host_rsa_key -p 29418 -l 'Gerrit
 Code Review' localhost 'suexec --as "Ian Wienand" gerrit index
 changes-in-project openstack/diskimage-builder'

I don't know if that's right, but it seemed to work.  Fiddling with
this was where I found [2]

Then I could see the dib changes; e.g.

 https://104.130.172.52/c/openstack/diskimage-builder/+/751610

Very willing to take suggestions on what we could do better here.  It
would probably be awesome if we could figure out automated import of a
live tree in the system-config test, so we have a bunch of changes
with zuul comments pre-populated.  Perhaps something like keep a zip
of a smaller repo that has a bunch of reviews and comments, and
populate that into the testing gerrit?

I can see the plugin is installed, because in the web console you get
the log from [3,4].  However, I can't actually see the table.

Tristan -- have sent you a note separately on how to log in for live
debugging if you like.

I can't say too much, because Tristan has written something and I
haven't, but the choice of Reason or BuckleScript or OCaml or whatever
is going on [5] really lowers the "bus factor" of this.  I can read it
and get the gist of what's going on; but it compiles down to [6] which
I have no idea how to debug.  AFAICT, Reason 3.0.4 was released 3
years ago, so it's either finished or ... not that active.  I use
emacs and write email in mutt -- I'm the first to admit I'm behind on
the latest web framework trends.  But after investigating TBH I remain
unconvinced mostly that we can mantain this indefinitely, and secondly
that the tooling will remain maintained.

Anyway, getting a better flow for testing plugins will serve us all
well at any rate.
