Bug #: 32953
Summary: Purge doesn't work sporadically in MW 1.18
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.19-svn
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Parser
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: danwe...@web.de
Classification: Unclassified
After I have updated to 1.18, sometimes action=purge had no effect. I noticed
this when I had a php syntax error while developing and hitting purge, nothing
changed. Only when I went into page editing and preview, I got the php error.
Once, purge doesn't work on a page, I can hit purge a hundred times and it
won't work.
Then I go into preview and after that, purge works again.
Looks like some caching issue, I didn't change anything in my settings and just
use default caching settings.
This only happens occasionally, not very often. But I am almost sure I would
have noticed this if it would have been present in my 1.17 installation since I
am using purge extensively every day.
I am aware that the action=purge is removed from the url, so this is not
because of just pressing F5 or anything.
Also, I have no idea how to re-create this, just waiting for the next time this
is happening and I am going to notice it.
The worst thing about this is, when you are testing some stuff and can't be
sure whether purge really has some effect, you might even have a flaw in your
extension/template without noticing since the rendered site output still is the
previous one until you edit your testing site again.
