Issue
I have trouble using Jenkins+Gerrit.
Here is what I got so far:
Gerrit Trigger configuration in Jenkins seems to be ok: When I push a new changeset, Jenkins build is launched.
I used this: href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7582331/jenkins-settings-for-gerrit-trigger-problems">Jenkins: settings for Gerrit Trigger problems to also be able to launch it "manually".
As for my configuration, I have something like this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/18347982/2248987. Branch Specifier is $GERRIT_BRANCH and Ref Spec is $GERRIT_REFSPEC
Gerrit and Git are working fines on their own. Access seems OK too.
Here is my issue. When building (gerrit triggered or manually), log output is:
> git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree # timeout=10
Fetching changes from the remote Git repository
> git config remote.origin.url ssh://user@host:29418/testproject # timeout=10
Fetching upstream changes from ssh://user@host:29418/testproject
> git --version # timeout=10
using GIT_SSH to set credentials
> git -c core.askpass=true fetch --tags --progress ssh://user@host:29418/testproject refs/heads/master
> git rev-parse origin/$GERRIT_BRANCH^{commit} # timeout=10
> git rev-parse $GERRIT_BRANCH^{commit} # timeout=10
ERROR: Couldn't find any revision to build. Verify the repository and branch configuration for this job.
Finished: FAILURE
I am stuck with this message, tried with empty repo, non-empty ones, and also with or without changeset "in review"
Solution
I used to have this problem and I think I have now fixed it, I am blaming the Jenkins UI for hiding some essential configuration elements ;)
Here is the output of my Jenkins build prior to the fix:

SOLUTION
You will need to open your build configuration and go to the section 'Source Code Management' as shown below:
Now you will notice that there is a button 'Advanced', click it to reveal the extra fields as below:
Now you can type your refspec here: $GERRIT_REFSPEC
Now either retrigger a failed build or abandon reviews and submit a new one and it should be working.
Here is the output of the Jenkins job now that we have the appropriate refspec:
