Changes cannot be sent for review automatically. Please set the query parameter changesNotSentForReview to true.

Problem description

It seems the library doesn't support this query configuration. During .aab uploading (93% complete) Gradle returns an error on

Task :commitEditForComDot*** FAILED Committing changes

• What went wrong: Execution failed for task ':commitEditForComDot***'.

  A failure occurred while executing com.github.triplet.gradle.play.tasks.CommitEdit$Committer 400 Bad Request POST https://androidpublisher.googleapis.com/androidpublisher/v3/applications/com.williamhill.app.googleplay/edits/{$commit}:commit { "code": 400, "errors": [ { "domain": "global", "message": "Changes cannot be sent for review automatically. Please set the query parameter changesNotSentForReview to true. Once committed, the changes in this edit can be sent for review from the Google Play Console UI.", "reason": "badRequest" } ], "message": "Changes cannot be sent for review automatically. Please set the query parameter changesNotSentForReview to true. Once committed, the changes in this edit can be sent for review from the Google Play Console UI.", "status": "INVALID_ARGUMENT" }

Does this happen every time? I can't reproduce.

[ihermandev]

Well, actually it happens when I try to publish a .aab file when an existing app rejected by the play store. There are few ways to workaround the error:

1. Resolve the rejection and submit again
2. Upload .aab via web google play console for eg. in Alpha - Closed testing track, publish it and status should be set as "Changes in review"

But the issue is, could we decide from the plugin perspective set changesNotSentForReview to true or false?

Accordingly to https://developers.google.com/android-publisher/api-ref/rest/v3/edits/commit there is a possibility to set changesNotSentForReview as a query parameter

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions.

[SUPERCILEX]

Would you want to be able to control this parameter? I'm think of just trying to send the change for review, and if the commit fails, then retrying but without sending them for review.

[ihermandev]

Actually, there is no necessary to control this parameter so your solution is good

[SUPERCILEX]

Can someone try the snapshot builds? I can't test it properly.

[ihermandev]

I've tested. Everything works as expected. Thank you!

[jaynakus]

So when we can expect this to be released? I have same issue

[mx1up]

I had the same problem and tested out the snapshot release, it works, thanks!

I'm still seeing this, and it's preventing me from doing releases. It seems the tool itself just needs a small update to explicitly send over the query parameter changesNotSentForReview=true when the "Send changes for review" flag is not set, as it is by default:

This check might not be returning true when it should: https://github.com/Triple-T/gradle-play-publisher/blob/77b069708cfd1bedfce5424af2c4a92cc9439763/play/android-publisher/src/main/kotlin/com/github/triplet/gradle/androidpublisher/Responses.kt#L90-L91

Someone will need to investigate by enabling gradle debug logging and looking at the network request replies.
