Cannot format velocity template com/google/gerrit/server/mail/RegisterNewEmail.vm
Cannot find this bug upstream, maybe our .war got botched (or didn't unpack properly in $HOME/.gerritcodereview?

| Resolved | None | T39406 Upgrade Gerrit to 2.4.2 |
Hrm, we haven't customized any of the templates so this is presumably an upstream bug :(
This doesn't seem to be affecting master as far as I can tell. Need to check 2.4. If it's not fixed there, maybe we can ask for a backport to the 2.3 or 2.4 branch.
Can't repo on a fresh new Gerrit 2.4 install.
The content of the gerrit logs/error.log file should be checked to get more information.
Can't be confirmed in 2.4 or 2.5 (master). Presumably this will be solved on upgrade, so adding the dependency.
Looks like a regression. I successfully added a new Email address before we upgraded to 2.3.

Regression in 2.3, perhaps. Since I can't replicate in 2.4 or 2.5, presumably it was fixed.
I don't see any specific mention in the release notes[0], but that doesn't mean it wasn't done.

Not sure if there were any substantial changes in the file in the project history.
Maybe it's an integration problem (wrong velocity library version) or something went wrong when packing JARs together?

d6bd00b5eb834e90b53ad954e32c4a4ba6d77e5e is present in v2.3, v2.3-rc0 and v2.4-rc0 (as well as master)
6ba66e0c9d37ce4b65dce7f47a38f2ac53e255e2 was the last one in v2.2.2
Would be also good to check if we have something in $site_dir/etc/mail (or if putting a fresh RegisterEmail.vm there solves the problem)

We do not have anything currently in etc/mail, we're relying on the compiled defaults.
I'd rather not put a new template in production just yet--let's downgrade the labs install to 2.3 and attempt to replicate it first.
