The continous integration testing currently uses the same branch fot the "dependecies" as it tests. So if you create a change set on branch `master`, it will use `master` for all the other repos (like mw core, extensions, skins) it clones to build up the environment. I am not aware of any way to influence this on a per repo level.

The only way I am currently aware of is to commit against a branch called `REL1_35` of your extension and then cherry-pick the changes up to `master`, once the tests have passed. This will make the CI tests use the `REL1_35` branch of each dependency (including mw core).

Betreff: [Wikitech-l] How to specify version of MW that Jenkins should run?

I'm having some issues with Jenkins running the latest version of MW for an extension (Wikispeech). Jenkins run with the 1.40 alpha, but we want the extension to support the latest LTS (1.35 as of right now).

I tried changing in extension.json to:

"requires": {
"MediaWiki": "1.35.*"
}

which caused an error for Jenkins:

12:44:09 A dependency error was encountered while installing the extension "Wikispeech": Wikispeech is not compatible with the current MediaWiki core (version 1.40.0-alpha), it requires: 1.35.*.

The whole log is here: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/P34482.

How can I specify what version of MW to run with? I've looked at both the MW wiki and Wikitech, but hasn't found any instructions for this.

Best,
