Help with Scribunto/Lua modules
by MZMcBride 07 Jun '13

07 Jun '13

Hi. I tried to write a Scribunto module in Lua today on Meta-Wiki called "Sort": <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Module:Sort>. I struggled a lot to get an environment set up where I could easily test blocks of code, so I'm looking for any help/guidance I can get. The debug console seems finicky. Its line numbers never seem to make sense. For example, I input this into a fresh console: --- function p.asc(frame) return frame.args[1] end --- Then I try ... = print(p.asc()) Lua error in console input at line 6: attempt to index local 'frame' (a nil value). I have no idea what line 6 refers to. Earlier when I was testing it was saying line 14. The line numbers never seem to match up to what I think I'm testing. If I paste this into the console: --- local p = {} function p.asc(frame) return frame.args[1] end function p.desc(frame) return p.args[1] end return p --- I get "Lua error in console input at line 18: 'end' expected (to close 'function' at line 1) near 'return'." There's a note on the edit screen about using mw.log(), but with various inputs, I still can't seem to get anything working properly with the debug console. For example: --- function p.asc(frame) t = {} t['bar'] = 'baz' mw.log(t) return frame.args[1] end --- This prints nothing at all when pasted into the debug console. If I try "= print(t)" or "print(t)" I get "nil". Related to this, even when I'm able to get something to print or mw.log(), I usually end up printing the strings "table" or "nil", rather than the contents of a table. Is there a var_dump equivalent for Lua that can be used? Lua seems to be very focused on tables for storage, but dumping what's currently in a table at particular points in the code feels excruciating. I feel like I must be missing something. This is related to <https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48173>. Is there a better way to write/debug Lua modules? Any help writing these modules (or simply getting a working sort module on Meta-Wiki) would be appreciated. MZMcBride

[X-POST] Universal Language Selector(ULS) Deployment - Phase 1
by Runa Bhattacharjee 06 Jun '13

06 Jun '13

Hello, The Universal Language Selector (ULS)[1] provides a flexible way to configure and deliver language settings like interface language, fonts, and input methods (keyboard mappings). It combines the features of two earlier Mediawiki extensions Narayam[2] and WebFonts[3]. From June 11, 2013 on, ULS will be made available to all Wikimedia wikis in 5 phases[4]. # Phase 1: In the first phase, ULS will replace the Narayam and WebFonts extensions on 84 wikis[5]. User preferences from the replaced extensions will not be preserved. Affected communities will be informed by the Wikimedia Language Engineering team of the upcoming change. # Phase 2: In the 5 weeks that follow, ULS will be deployed on Wikipedias in size 11-20, # Phase 3: All projects without language versions # Phase 4: English language Wikipedia # Phase 5: All other wikis The ULS can be visible in two ways: 1. In the sidebar for wikis with language versions, like Wikipedia, or 2. In the personal toolbar at the top of wiki pages for wikis without language versions, like Wikimedia Commons and Meta-Wiki. Based on the geographic location of users, the initial set of language preferences is presented. Users can set the input methods and fonts to that they want to use. Logged-in users can also change the language for the MediaWiki menu items. ULS is already available on several Wikimedia wikis like Wikimedia Commons[6] and Meta-Wiki[7]. The beta installation of English Wikipedia on Wikimedia Labs[8] shows what will be available as the look and feel. A cog icon is present in the “Languages” section of the sidebar menu. Clicking the cog icon opens the Language settings panel that can be used to set the display and input settings. Please have a look at the Universal Language Selector feature description[9] or the Frequently Asked Questions[10] for more detailed information. Thank you. regards Runa [1] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:UniversalLanguageSelector [2] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Narayam [3] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WebFonts [4] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/UniversalLanguageSelector/Deployment/Planning [5] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/UniversalLanguageSelector/Deployment/Plannin… [6] https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/ [7] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page [8] http://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/ [9] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Universal_Language_Selector [10] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Universal_Language_Selector/FAQ -- Language Engineering - Outreach and QA Coordinator Wikimedia Foundation https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Runab_WMF

Question re. Html class : I ran into a problem correctly escaping the $content component
by Thomas Gries 06 Jun '13

06 Jun '13

I recently try to modernize an extension [1] to use the /_Html _/class and found a problem (at least for me) . Like to receive your comments, and tips. In several cases, I had to use Htlm::rawElement (*) instead of the safer Html::element because of a nested <div> structure I want to generate like <div id=outerdiv> outertext-with- -or-something-character <div id=innerdiv> innertext </div> </div> Html::rawElement( 'div', array( 'some-outer-attributes' => 'some-outer-attribute-values'), $outertext . Html:element( 'div' array( 'some-inner-attributes' => 'some-inner-attribute-values'), $innertext ) After having compared Html methods rawElement and Element, and after having asked around the #mediawiki I found that I have to escape the content manually and could/should use basically one of these two possibilities: i) The #mediawiki recommended *htmlspecialchars*() ii) Inside Html:element method I found * strtr( $contents, array(** ** // There's no point in escaping quotes, >, etc. in the contents of** ** // elements.** ** '&' => '&',** ** '<' => '<'** **)* *Both *are not suited for my case, when $outertext has this " " character in it. After looking around in class Html and class Xml I found, that some of the methods use $wgContLang->normalize( $string ), and this works for me, too. I put this is into a private wrapper function escapeContent() = *$wg**ContLang->normalize() (not shown here) * Html::rawElement( 'div', array( 'some-outer-attributes' => 'some-outer-attribute-values'), * ***$wg**ContLang->normalize****( $outertext ) . Html:element( 'div' array( 'some-inner-attributes' => 'some-inner-attribute-values'), $innertext ) I am however not happy with that approach, because I do not know, if it is correctly applied. Therefore my questions to you: 1. Is my approach of applying Html class and using ->normalize() correct ? 2. What could I do better, perhaps should I apply a certain Sanitizer::method - or what else ? 3. Perhaps I am fully wrong, then please guide me to find a correct solution. I will be available on #mediawiki during the evening hours (UTC+2; Wikinaut ) [1] https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/67002/

???!!! ResourceLoader loading extension CSS DYNAMICALLY?!!
by vitalif＠yourcmc.ru 05 Jun '13

05 Jun '13

Hello! I've got a serious issue with ResourceLoader. WHAT FOR it's made to load extension ____styles_____ DYNAMICALLY using JavaScript?!!!! It's a very bad idea, it leads to page style flickering during load. I.e. first the page is displayed using only skin CSS and then you see how extension styles are dynamically applied to it. Of course it's still rather fast, but it's definitely noticeable, even in Chrome. Why didn't you just output <link rel="stylesheet" href="load.php?<ALL MODULES>" /> ?????????? Am I free to implement it and submit a patch????? -- With best regards, Vitaliy Filippov

Needless forks with incompatible license changes

I would have gladly accepted changes, and the license has been changed to GPL3 or higher, when OATHAuth is GPL2 or higher, so I can't even take changes without changing OATHAuth's license! Was there any reason for this? Can we avoid forks like this? Please? - Ryan

Testing FS Path Permissions in PHPUnit
by David Narvaez 05 Jun '13

05 Jun '13

Hi, I'm retaking the work I started a couple of weeks ago in the Amsterdam Hackathon about improving code coverage of the Upload code. At the moment my main question is how to test all the code paths dealing with files not written to the FS because of permissions, missing dirs, etc. Is there a recommended way to do this already in the PHPUnit tests? I have checked a couple of tests and haven't found anything similar but if you can point me to one test, or let me know what's the best way to try that, I can take it from there. Thanks in advance. David E. Narvaez
