Retrieving changesets fail

I can query and filter my gerrit instance. I see open and merged submissions.

However, I cannot retrieve changeset information. See error output below.

Hey, this thing just happened to me too, while using plain InteliiJ IDEA, without your plugin.

I also have had a dangling Host line in my SSH config.

I’ll paste my error message for searchability of this ticket as apparently JetBrains haven’t made the error message more user-friendly in the last 2 years. 👎

My full error while trying to push to a remote repo was:

java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 1
    at org.jetbrains.git4idea.ssh.SSHConfig.load(SSHConfig.java:124)
    at org.jetbrains.git4idea.ssh.SSHMain.<init>(SSHMain.java:121)

fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

SSH config it was. I had a dangling Host block that’s been there for who knows how long:

Host *
    Compression yes
    CompressionLevel 7
    Cipher blowfish
    ServerAliveInterval 600
    ForwardAgent yes
    ControlMaster auto
    ControlPath ~/.ssh/connections/%r_%h_%p

Host

Removing the last line fixes the issue.
