Hello,
I have enabled a feature in Gerrit https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/ that would make it emit a desktop notification when a change requires your attention (the attention set system). In order to receive them, you must accept desktop notifications in your browser. The first time you browse it, it will notify about it and ask you to continue before requesting the permission.
When Gerrit is open, it will poll the server every 5 minutes to find any change that might now require your attention. There is no other notification sent to the desktop.
The feature can be disabled in your user preferences.
See online doc: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/Documentation/user-attention-set.html#_browse... Task: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T389327 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T389327
Happy code reviewing!
