Hey,
For some reason DatabseBase::select is returning false sometimes when it
encounters a database error rather then throwing an error as you'd expect
since it's documented to always return a ResultWrapper. I ran into this
issue several times as getting the rather obscure error "expected
ResultWrapper, got boolean" in random places using this result. Calling
lastError on the DatabaseBase object clearly shows there in fact was an SQL
error.
I have all SQL debug settings I'm aware off on:
$wgShowSQLErrors = true;
$wgShowDBErrorBacktrace = true;
$wgDebugDumpSql = true;
Plus the usual bunch of dev settings.
So this smells like a regression to me, or something that always was broken
but not noticed due to people not using type hinting. Anyone an idea where
this is coming from? I had a look but it's not clear to me.
Cheers
