Is assert() allowed?
by Max Semenik 02 Aug '13

02 Aug '13

I remeber we discussed using asserts and decided they're a bad idea for WMF-deployed code - yet I see Warning: assert() [<a href='function.assert'>function.assert</a>]: Assertion failed in /usr/local/apache/common-local/php-1.22wmf12/extensions/WikibaseDataModel/DataModel/Claim/Claims.php on line 291 Thoughts? -- Best regards, Max Semenik ([[User:MaxSem]])

unexpected error info in HTML
by Jiang BIAN 01 Aug '13

01 Aug '13

Hi, I noticed some pages we crawled containing error message like this; <div id="mw-content-text" lang="zh-CN" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"><p class="error">Failed to render property P373: Wikibase\LanguageWithConversion::factory: given languages do not have the same parent language</p> But when I open the url in browser, there is no such message. And using index.php can also get normal content without error messages. Here are examples you can retry: bad $ wget 'http://zh.wikipedia.org/zh-cn/Google' good $ wget 'http://zh.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Google' Looks like something is wrong on Wikipedia side, anything need to fix?
