Cannot push my commit
by Bináris 07 Feb '23

07 Feb '23

Hi, I worked really lot to be able to commit, but nothing helps. I have Windows. My gerrit user is binbot, the SSH key is set. git config --global gitreview.remote origin git config --global gitreview.username binbot Pageant is running, and the key is loaded. I never used it with git, it worked previously with SVN. I installed the latest git. I committed my change to local repository. I followed all the steps on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit/Tutorial including " #If_git_review_-R_fail"section. It says to set URL that begins with ssh like this: git remote set-url origin ssh:// binbot@gerrit.wikimedia.org:29418/pywikibot/core.git Is that correct? c:\Pywikibot-dev\core>git status On branch stable Your branch is ahead of 'origin/stable' by 1 commit. (use "git push" to publish your local commits) nothing to commit, working tree clean Now I get two error messages, sometimes the first and sometimes the second: c:\Pywikibot-dev\core>git review -R warning: auto-detection of host provider took too long (>2000ms) warning: see https://aka.ms/gcm/autodetect for more information. fatal: Egy feladat vĂ©grehajtĂˇsa megszakadt. (This means one task broke.) bash: line 1: /dev/tty: No such device or address error: failed to execute prompt script (exit code 1) fatal: could not read Username for 'https://gerrit.wikimedia.org': No such file or directory c:\Pywikibot-dev\core>git review -R warning: failed to probe 'https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/' to detect provider warning: An error occurred while sending the request. warning: see https://aka.ms/gcm/autodetect for more information. fatal: An error occurred while sending the request. fatal: A kĂ©relmet megszakĂtottĂˇk: Nem sikerĂĽlt lĂ©trehozni az SSL/TLS biztonsĂˇgos csatornĂˇt. (This means the request was broken, a safe SSH/TLS channel could not be established.) bash: line 1: /dev/tty: No such device or address error: failed to execute prompt script (exit code 1) fatal: could not read Username for 'https://gerrit.wikimedia.org': No such file or directory I also read https://aka.ms/gcm/autodetectbut did not help what to do. Can someone help me understand this mess? -- Bináris

Alternative tags for italic and bold with mwparserfromhell?
by Roy Smith 06 Feb '23

06 Feb '23

I want to turn wikitext into HTML for display on a web front-end I'm building. For what I'm doing, all I need is a few constructs like wiklinks, bold, and italic, which I'm able to do with a smallish amount of mwparserfromhell code. The one annoyance I've got now is I'm using bootstrap <https://getbootstrap.com/> in a web front-end, so I don't want <b> and <i> HTML tags. I want is <span class="fw-bold"> <https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.0/utilities/text/#font-weight-and-italics> (and likewise class="fst-italic") Is there some way to tell mwparserfromhell.nodes.Tag to use that alternate markup when it processes bold or italic wikicode?

Gerrit problem – certificate has expired
by Bináris 06 Feb '23

I try to install Pywikibot with git, following https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikibot/Development and https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit/Tutorial When it comes to git clone, I keep getting this: Cloning into 'core'... fatal: unable to access 'https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/pywikibot/core.git/': SSL certificate problem: certificate has expired Is it possible? I can't believe. Or is there another problem causing this message? -- Bináris

How to ignore all the non-visible stuff?
by Roy Smith 04 Feb '23

04 Feb '23

[[:en:Template:Did you know/Queue/NextPrep]] contains: > 4<noinclude>  > {{documentation|content=This number indicates the next DYK prep set to move into the queue.}} > </noinclude> What I want to get is just the "4". Is Page.extract() what I'm looking for? Experimentally, it does what I want, but it's not clear if this is actually the intended use case.

Text between two comments?
by Roy Smith 03 Feb '23

03 Feb '23

I'm trying to parse DYK prep area templates, for example Template:Did you know/Preparation area 3 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Did_you_know/Preparation_area_3>. Unfortunately, these are more like flat text files than any kind of nicely structured data. The stuff of interest is everything between two HTML comments: >  > {{main page image/DYK|image=Melissa Ong.webp|caption=Selfie of Ong, commonly replicated by the Step Chickens}} > * ... that "Step Chickens" on TikTok replace their profile pictures with an image ''(shown)'' of '''[[Melissa Ong]]''', whom they call "Mother Hen"? > * ... that '''[[interfaith greetings in Indonesia]]''' include phrases from Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Confucianism? > * ... that '''[[Kimmo Leinonen]]''' helped establish both the [[Finnish Hockey Hall of Fame]] and the [[IIHF Hall of Fame]]? > * ... that the [[Pulitzer Prize for Fiction|Pulitzer Prize]]-winning novel '''''[[All the Light We Cannot See]]''''' contains a sympathetic [[Nazism|Nazi]]? > * ... that a {{Convert|10|ft|m|adj=mid|-tall|0}} '''[[Lady Rainier|statue of a woman]]''' in [[Seattle]] was commissioned by a local brewery in 1903? > * ... that ... > * ... that prior to entering politics, '''[[Herbert Salvatierra]]''' led a troupe of [[carnival]] ''[[comparsa]]s''? > * ... that [[Winston Churchill]] published '''[[Are There Men on the Moon?|an essay on extraterrestrial life]]''' during the Second World War? >  I can find the comments with Wikicode.filter_comments(). But once I've found the two delimiting comments, how do I grab the text between them? Or is the parser the wrong tool? Would I do better to treat the content of the page as flat text and just iterate over it line by line, teasing it apart with regexes?
