[Wikitech-l] WebTestCase

[Jeroen De Dauw]

Hey,

Does MediaWiki have something similar to Symfony's WebTestCase? (
https://symfony.com/doc/current/testing.html#functional-tests)

I want to write some integration tests in the form of "does web page
/wiki/MyWikiPage contain HTML snippet XYZ".

Cheers

It is documented in the block for message.text() and message.parse(), with
mw.msg() being a shortcut for message.text(). Could be improved to mention
there directly as well!

Hey Bawolff,

Including mediawiki.jqueryMsg fixed the issue. Thanks a bunch!

I concur this is rather peculiar design. It'd be helpful to have some
indication of this in the method docs of the mw.msg() code.

Perhaps it was https://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_Studios at around
12:55-56 UTC today.
My console ran out, I searched my command log for duplicate command, that's
why I think, but I am not sure.
Anyway, it was an article of huwiki.
I used category.py of Pywikibot.

503 Backend fetch failed is a generic error message you get when the
application server breaks so badly that it fails to even return an error
message (e.g. PHP fatal errors can do this), so Varnish has to make up its
own error message.

Re: [Wikitech-l] URL parameter fetching (mediawiki)

[bawolff]

MediaWiki coding conventions is to use the WebRequest object.

In the context of a SpecialPage subclass, you would probably do
$this->getRequest()->getVal( 'reason' );   [Note: This combines both POST
and GET values]

See
https://doc.wikimedia.org/mediawiki-core/master/php/classWebRequest.html#a3eecdf9b5d20122630bf5cc9c8506084
for more details.

[Wikitech-l] URL parameter fetching (mediawiki)

[John Shepherd]

Is there a “special” way in mediawiki to get parameters passed by URL or do you 
just use the conventional PHP way ($_GET)? I am trying to check if 
“Special:CreateAccount?reason=“ is set/has a value (and what that value is).

Thank you for your assistance, trying to be convention compliant.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Docs for using Mediawiki Docker Image

[David Barratt]

I started a page at: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Docker/Hub please
improve it. :)

And yes, to answer your question, there should be a single container per
process (
https://docs.docker.com/develop/develop-images/dockerfile_best-practices/#decouple-applications).
Since node.js is a separate process, it should ideally be in its own
container.

What's the best place (wiki page) to start learning how to use the DockerHub 
image for MediaWiki? The image source is at 
https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-docker and I found Docker/SIG. I 
understand the basic setup, but am new to Docker and don't understand how to

[Srishti Sethi]

Hello everyone,

Wikimedia has listed seven projects in Outreachy Round 19:
https://www.outreachy.org/apply/project-selection/#wikimedia :)

One of these projects is documentation-related, one related to quality
assurance and remaining five are coding projects:

   1. A system for releasing data dumps from a classifier detecting
   unsourced sentences in Wikipedia, mentored by *Sam Walton, Miriam Redi
   and Guilherme Gonçalves*
   2. Convert Campaign pages to React, mentored by *Khyati Soneji and Sage
   Ross*
   3. Create command-line runner for MediaWiki maintenance tasks, mentored
   by *Will Doran*
   4. Create regression automated tests for Special:Homepage functionality
   testing, mentored by *Elena Tonkovidova*
   5. Documentation improvements to the ~20 top 100 most viewed MediaWiki
   Action API pages on-wiki, mentored by *Jerop Brenda*
   6. Improve MediaWiki Action API Integration Tests, mentored by *Kate
   Chapman, Clara Andrew-Wani and Daniel Kinzler*
   7. Improvements and User Testing of Wiki Education Dashboard Android
   App, mentored by *Ujjwal Agrawal and Sage Ross*

Only applicants with an account on the Outreachy site
 will be able to see the details of these projects.
You can learn more about the timeline, roles, and responsibilities of
participants and mentors, and ways to get in touch with the coordinators
here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreachy/Round_19. You can also view
these projects under "Featured projects" column here on Phabricator:

[Wikitech-l] Fresh-node: 19.10.1

[Krinkle]

I've published a new version of Fresh. Fresh is a simple way to create
light and fast isolated contexts in your Terminal. For example, when you
need to run 'npm' commands that install and run code needed for ESLint,
Grunt or Selenium tests.

Get started at https://github.com/wikimedia/fresh

See also:
*
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:JavaScript_unit_testing#Getting_started
*
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Selenium/Node.js/Target_Local_MediaWiki_(Container)

Background:
Last month I wrote [1] about the risk and dangers involved with running
"npm install" and "npm test" commands as developers. In a nut shell: There
are no built-in protections. At risk are your personal data, web browser
session, and more. Interactions with 'git', 'sudo' or 'ssh' are also easy
to spy on or influence. This all in addition to the "normal" risk of
packages having undiscovered malicious (or non-malicious) security problems
in indirect dependencies that have never been audited for security by
anyone you'd know or trust. In particular, I think it is important to
understand that npm is different from Debian or PyPi in terms of social
etiquette and curation. More about that at [1].

Hi Ryan, thanks for bringing up this request.  I see that the  tag
(T7265)
discussion goes back even further than the task, for example on the
footnotes talk
page [1], as early as 2005 [2].  Un-merging the task was a good call, maybe
the
next step would be to promote it during the next community wishlist survey,
or elaborate enough that it would make a good mentorship project.

There might be some beneficial overlap from improvements to be made to the
marker number sequence logic?  We noticed that the VisualEditor module [3]
and
backend [4] each do their own numbering and neither code is open to
extension.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Book referencing proposal

[Ryan Kaldari]

Thanks for the feedback, Brad. To clarify, I know you can use {{#tag:ref}}
instead of  as a workaround, but that's a terrible solution and
undocumented  to boot. T3310
 (allowing nested tags) has been
batted around for years (as the bug number attests) but doesn't seem to
have any traction (although no one seems willing to decline it either). The
bug I linked to, T7265 , seems
like a relatively simple, straightforward solution to a common use case
that still doesn't have a real solution: creating footnotes that have
references. The fact that this solution has been rejected in favor of more
complicated solutions that either will never happen (T3310
) or don't actually solve the
problem (T8271 ) is disappointing,
IMO.

[Wikitech-l] s5 primary master switchover (read-only required) 15th October 05:00 AM UTC

[Manuel Arostegui]

Hello,
We have requested a 30 minutes read-only window for s5 wikis (T234303) for
the 15th October from 05:00-05:30 AM UTC to switchover that section primary
database master (T234300)

db1070 is an old host and out of warranty that will be decommissioned
(T217396). The new master will be db1100.

We are going to do this on Tuesday 15th Oct from 05:00 to 05:30 AM UTC (we
do not expect to use the 30 minutes window, if everything goes as expected).

Impact: Writes will be blocked on the following wikis
cebwiki
