[Wikitech-l] DatabseBase::select behaving broken

2012-09-03 Thread Jeroen De Dauw
Hey, For some reason DatabseBase::select is returning false sometimes when it encounters a database error rather then throwing an error as you'd expect since it's documented to always return a ResultWrapper. I ran into this issue several times as getting the rather obscure error expected

Re: [Wikitech-l] Should we make parser test executions via phpunit.php behave like running them with parserTests.php ?

2012-09-03 Thread Daniel Werner
I remember that some more methods could be shared if the parameter order of parserTests.php was changed Not sure whether params order has to change but yest, more code there could be shared. No idea why the localsettings are not shared for example. That was done for creating the articles once,

Hey, So what was the error? Non-existing field or table. Happens because of not running update.php. Getting some weird type error at some random location does not really suggest that though, so is likely result into one wasting time trying to find the issue. Cheers -- Jeroen De Dauw

I'll post more on the RFC, but I wonder if an entity within WMF would be more appropriate and realistic. Utilizing the existing operations structure would be far easier. Perhaps setup something like FDC to oversee priorities and funds. My hunch is WMF would be far more likely to sign off on
