[Wikitech-l] the skin change in 1.21wmf5, display breakage, fix retrospective, again
After Sumana's summary of the wmf5 phase2 deployment (last Wednesday) at http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2012-November/064718.html we ran into similar issues again yesterday night when deploying to English Wikipedia (phase3). According to Ryan in bug 42452 , this time The problem seems to be that ResourceLoader isn't delivering the updated CSS. Some minutes later Ryan touched and synced the startup.js and ext.vector.collapsibleNav.css files. Seems to be working correctly now. Still, we have several users that state that after purging their browser cache they *still* face issues: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)#What_just_happened_to_the_UI.3F Can anyone shed some light on how affected users can track down and help to fix the underlying problems here, if possible? What could users try, and which data could they provide? Obviously I'd love to avoid ending up with the same situation (and lively Village Pump discussions) again tomorrow when deploying wmf5 to all other Wikipedias. andre -- Andre Klapper | Wikimedia Bugwrangler http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper/ ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

Can anyone shed some light on how affected users can track down and help to fix the underlying problems here, if possible? What could users try, and which data could they provide? Have them try loading pages with ?action=purge in the URL and see if the issue is resolved - that should purge the page from the front-end cache. Failing that, if adding ?debug=true to the URL generates a properly formatted page, then ResourceLoader is still trying to load out-of-date resources. If that's the case, another touch/sync on a file from the stale resource module might do the trick. I imagine ops or the ResourceLoader folks might have some other ideas. -- Arthur Richards Software Engineer, Mobile [[User:Awjrichards]] IRC: awjr +1-415-839-6885 x6687 ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
Re: [Wikitech-l] the skin change in 1.21wmf5, display breakage, fix retrospective, again
One thing we can do is preemptively deploy the following files to wmf4 today: skins/modern/main.css skins/vector/screen.css extensions/Vector/modules/ext.vector.collapsibleNav.css Of course someone should check and make sure the only changes this would entail is adding a bunch of h3 selectors. I don't have any deployment windows today, but it shouldn't be hard for someone to squeeze this in. If anyone wants help with this, let me know.

Yeah, I now prefer to cd extensions/MobileFrontend find -type f -exec touch
{} \;
when deploying. Is there a way to purge the RL cache completely (and
preferrably not causing a meltdown)?

OK, we're just going to cherry-pick the h3 additions then.
