Hello Mobile!
Fairly recently, a code cleanup in Mantle caused a back compatibility
issue with several other extensions such as MobileFrontend and
ZeroPortal. It could have been caught if, when the Mantle patch has
been proposed, we had Jenkins to run the tests of the other extensions.
Over the summer I wrote code that supports testing extensions together
and I wrote an RFC which got approved [RFC] I am now looking for
extensions to tests together and the mobile related ones seems to be
good candidate.
If you agree, I will craft a Jenkins job that clones:
- Mediawiki core + Vendor
- JsonConfig
- Mantle
- MobileApp
- MobileFrontend
- WikiGrok
- ZeroBanner
- ZeroPortal
And run the MediaWiki PHPUnit test suite. The new job, will be triggered
for changes made on any of those repositories and be non voting while it
is being refined. Once we are happy about it, I would remove the
'-testextension' jobs and make it voting.
Next, we can reuse the same logic for -qunit and -qunit-mobile jobs and
ends up with well integrated set of repositories.
The evil plan for next year, is to extend that to all extensions
deployed on the Wikimedia cluster.
Crazy?
[RFC] tis a long read
