I've set up MW 1.28 with VE/parsoid and everything
is working well
However, when I edit in (any) wikitext editor and try to switch to VE, I
am presented with a dialog with only 2 choices: "Cancel" or "Discard my
changes and switch". Diving into the code I found I could change
ve.init.MWVESwitchConfirmDialog.js (line 58) from
modes: [ 'restbase' ]
to
modes: [ 'restbase', 'simple' ]
that adds "Switch" to the dialog box, but when this option is chosen, any
changes made in the wikitext editor are lost.
Is this a mis-configuration on my part or is switching from edited
wikitext to VE not supported? Do I need a RESTbase server to implement this
functionality?
RESTbase provides the switching-with-changes ability, yes. There's a reason
VE doesn't offer switching-with-changes without it. :-) In general,
fiddling with the code inside an extension is always going to break.
