[Wikitech-l] Looking for reviewers for Selenium related patches

[Željko Filipin]

Hi,

If you're not interested in Selenium tests, you can ignore this message.

I'm working on improving our Selenium framework. That means I'm creating a
few patches a week. I'm looking for reviewers. Please reply off-list if you
would like to be a reviewer on a Selenium related patch.

You can see the type of patches I'm creating in Gerrit[0].

I would like to thank my usual reviewers, James Forrester and Timo Tijhof
for reviewing many many commits so far.

Thanks!

Željko

Re: [Wikitech-l] Should we cancel Scrum of scrums meeting?

[Željko Filipin]

Hi,

Thank you everybody for comments on- and off-list. Looks like the
meeting is still useful to some people. For now I'll only make one
change. Instead of writing updates to the etherpad[0], let's edit the
wiki page[1] directly.

I will send the usual e-mail to wikitech-l. Please let me know
(off-list) if I should send the email to additional mailing lists.

[Wikitech-l] Should we cancel Scrum of scrums meeting?

[Željko Filipin]

Hi,

TLDR: reply to me (off-list) if you would think Scrum of scrums is still useful.

I've been sending Scrum of scrums[0] mails to wikitech-l list since
2019-03-20[1]. The meeting has existed since 2013. I haven't done any
proper research, but a quick look says the number of participating
teams is decreasing significantly.

Quick sample, the first meeting of July in years 2014-2020.

Subbu presented at Enterprise MediaWiki Conference last week to get early
feedback ( [[EMWCon_Spring_2020/Program]] has slides & video links). In a
couple weeks, after some refinement and tweaking, will broadcast this more
broadly. The goal is to get a more complete working version of this Parsoid
Extension API in the next couple months and have extensions deployed on the

other Wikimedians and developers can access these models for their own
work. As an example, one way to use them is with the "articletopic" search
keyword. This works by typing something like "articletopic:sports" in a

Hi,

I have forgot to mention it in my previous e-mail. Next SoS will be on
January 8.

Next Wednesday is Christmas (December 25) and the Wednesday after it is New
Year Day (January 1). Wikimedia Foundation will be closed from December 24
to January 1.

See you in Twenties[0]! :)

** [[phab:T236930]] needs resolution for using VE with Parsoid/PHP on
non-RESTBase wikis (ex: officewiki, wikitech). Need Core Platform Team to
take a look at it
** These next 4 testing / QA tasks aren't strictly a blocker yet, but will
quickly become blockers as we are aiming to roll out Parsoid/PHP for all
live traffic in the coming weeks (before Thanksgiving). Some teams are
already working on them, but just flagging them all here for completeness'
sake - thanks to you all for addressing them.
*** [[phab:T229078]] -- Prepare Flow for Parsoid-PHP switch ( which team?
but, heads up Roan )

*** [[phab:T229077]] -- Prepare MCS for Parsoid-PHP switch ( Product
Infrastructure team )
* Updates:
** As of Nov 4, Parsoid/PHP cluster is receiving 100% of Parsoid/JS change
prop reparse traffic (which makes up > 90% of all traffic that Parsoid
handles). Performance, error rates are all looking good. ( [[phab:T235902]]
)
** So, we are getting ready to roll this out everywhere in the coming weeks
in a phased manner (wiki-by-wiki for *all* services). Appreciate testing
against Parsoid/PHP in the beta cluster. See description of
[[phab:T229074]] for how to test against Parsoid/PHP.

Hi,

for HTML version, see
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Scrum_of_scrums/2019-09-25

Since I have received one positive piece of feedback on my link shortening
experiment, and no negative feedback, this week's meeting notes have short
links. You can see what was shortened here:

https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?diff=3427791=3427790=Scrum_of_scrums/2019-09-25=revision=source

I'm still open to feedback. :)

Hi,

as an experiment, here's a version of the meeting notes with short
Phabricator and Gerrit links. Let me know what you think. I hope it will
make meeting notes shorter and more readable in both plain text and on wiki.

Example long links:

** Performance: CR for rdbms/LoadMonitor changes
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/394430,

Example short links:

Re: [Wikitech-l] [Train] 1.34.0-wmf.20 status update

[Željko Filipin]

The 1.34.0-wmf.20 version of MediaWiki is blocked[0].

The new version is deployed to groups{0,1}[1], but can proceed no
further until these issues are resolved:

* T231542 AFPData.php: Refusing to cast DUNDEFINED to something else

* T231554 ApiQueryMapData.php: Call to a member function getData() on a
non-object (null)

* T231561 ApiQueryMapData.php: Call to a member function getData() on null

Once these issues are resolved train can resume. If these issues are
resolved on a Friday the train will resume Monday.

Thank you for your help resolving these issues!

reparsing support for renames / deletions of images. But this is not
necessarily Kiwix specific since presumably apps will also see stale
versions without Parsoid reparses. Change Propagation support seems to be
missing for these events.
**  Parsoid-PHP Port:
**  Porting parser tests infrastructure so we can run parser tests in PHP
instead of relying on JS+PHP hybrid testing as we have till now.
** Starting to port the rest of the mocha tests.
**  Setting up more CI tests to prevent regressions.

SoS meeting notes are not canonical list of teams. Staff and Contractors is
that page:

https://wikimediafoundation.org/role/staff-contractors/

There's also SoS template with all teams, for reference, if that's useful:

I think SoS is the least expensive of similar meetings. It's usually really
short, about 10 minutes and about 10 people attends it. I usually spend
just a few minutes preparing notes for my team, I guess other teams spend
similar amount of time. There's still room for improvement, of course.

Hi,

for HTML version, see
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Scrum_of_scrums/2019-05-29

Thank you for feedback. As an experiment, this week's notes don't have any
empty sections. That should make them shorter and easier to read.

To make meeting notes even easier to read, is there a tool that would
convert links to wikitext?

the right collaboration. We are currently updating all the Tool Labs tools
we own to prepare for the Actor migration. If users or devs have issues
with these tools, let us know. The work is moving quickly but due to some
missing indices on the new tables in the replicas, our queries are much too
slow. This is causing occasional application errors for users as the
queries time out.

[Wikitech-l] Scrum of scrums/2019-05-22

[Željko Filipin]

Hi,

I would like to highlight a few notes from SoS Meeting Bookkeeping:

* We're still looking for a backup facilitator. 
* We're still looking for feedback if this meeting is useful. If it is, is
there anything we could do to make it more useful?
** SoS is really useful to Release Engineering because we are frequently
blocked by various teams because of train. We also frequently block other
teams because we're in charge of continuous integration (CI).
** Should we make the meeting notes as short as possible, so interested
people could read all of it? One step in that direction could be removing
teams that did not leave any updates.

Hi,

apologies for sending this really late. I was traveling and I'm still
catching up. I didn't send meeting notes for the last three weeks. Sorry
about that. I'll do my best in the future, so it doesn't happen again.

I have just checked my calendar, and I can not come to the meeting on the
next three weeks. If you can facilitate one (or more) of the meetings,
please let me know.

If you have ever been to the meeting, you already know what to do.

[Wikitech-l] 2019-03-27 Scrum of Scrums meeting notes

[Željko Filipin]

Hi,

I can not facilitate SoS next week. Please let me know off list if you can
facilitate. If you're already coming to the meeting, you know how to do it.
The only other duties are archiving the notes and sending them to
wikitech-l.

It's documented:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Scrum_of_scrums#Facilitator_responsibilities

Thanks,

Željko

Hi Leszek,

apologies for the late reply, I've just noticed you didn't get any replies.
Since there are no Phabricator tasks mentioned, I don't really know. Can
somebody from SRE help?

Re: [Wikitech-l] Unbreak now! problem in this week train Watchlist

[Željko Filipin]

T218511[0] (After opening a diff, entry on Special:Watchlist sometimes
stays unread (bold)) is not added as a train blocker (T206675)[1], so I
assume it's not blocking the train. Since there are no other blockers, I'll
resolve the T206675 task. If T218511 _is_ blocking the train, please reopen
T206675 and add T218511 as a blocker.

Re: [Wikitech-l] [Train] 1.32.0-wmf.14 status update

[Željko Filipin]

Hi,

the train is still blocked.

Problems from the previous e-mail message are resolved, the new version is
deployed to groups 0 and 1 but can proceed no further until these issues
are resolved:

- MapCacheLRU::has called with invalid key. Must be string or integer -
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T200456

Once these issues are resolved train can resume. If the task is resolved on
Friday or over the weekend, the train will resume Monday.

Thank you for your help resolving these issues!

Good news!

A few minutes ago we have deployed 1.32.0-wmf.13 to all wikis. Logs look OK
to me so far.

A big thank you to everybody that reported problems and helped resolve
them. I want to tank every single one of you, but I'm to tired right now,
so I'll leave that for tomorrow.

For now, I would like to thank Tyler Cipriani and Greg Grossmeier for all

Hi,

1.32.0-wmf.13 train continues to be "interesting". Trains should not be
interesting. They should be boring.

I would like to thank again everybody that reported problems and worked on
resolving them.

There is currently one blocker:

- T200269 Unable to undelete revision (Fatal error: given Title does not
belong to page ID, RevisionStoreRecord)

I have cut the 1.32.0-wmf.14 branch today, but it's deployment (to groups
0, 1 and 2) is blocked on 1.32.0-wmf.13.

Hi Runa,

T199941 (Fatal MWException in Babel: "Language::isValidBuiltInCode must be
passed a string") is the only remaining blocker for the train. I see some
activity at the task (commit merges, deployments) but the task is still
open, UBN and a subtask of T191059 (1.32.0-wmf.13 deployment blockers),
making it a blocker.

If the issue is resolved, please resolve the phabricator task. If there is
still some cleanup to do, but it's not blocking the train, please remove
the task from T191059 blockers.

Thanks,

Re: [Wikitech-l] [Engineering] MW Train status: Incomplete rollout, blocked on two issues

[Željko Filipin]

Hi,

This is the second ever train I am conducting and it has been very
interesting. I've been told that is not unusual. I have good news and bad
news.

Good news is that some problems are resolved. I would like to thank to
everybody that helped.

Bad news is that train is still blocked. :( Blocking tasks are:

- T199941 Fatal MWException in Babel: "Language::isValidBuiltInCode must be
passed a string"
- T199983 Wikidata showing wrong language for page elements
- T200136 Does not work for change a log type drop down when the log type
specified by URL / argument @ 1.32.0-wmf.13 (360f7b5)

I will cut the new branch tomorrow, but I will not be able to deploy it to
group 0 until blockers from last week are resolved. If you can help
resolving the current problems, please do. If you know that somebody can
help, please let them know.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Selenium Ruby framework deprecation

[Željko Filipin]

This is your friendly but **final** warning that we are replacing Selenium
tests written in Ruby with tests in Node.js. There will be no more
reminders. Ruby stack will no longer be maintained. For more information
see T139740 and T173488.

Extensive documentation is available at mediawiki.org. If you need help
with the migration, I am available for pairing and code review (zfilipin in
Gerrit, zeljkof in #wikimedia-releng).

To see how to write a test watch Selenium tests in Node.js tech talk (J78).

[Wikitech-l] Did something change in beta cluster configuration around September 16 2017?

[Željko Filipin]

TLDR: Did something change in beta cluster configuration around September
16 2017?

For HTML version of this e-mail go to
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T179157

RelatedArticles repository has Selenium tests (tests/selenium). They are
running:

- every time code is pushed to gerrit targeting a MediaWiki on a Jenkins
slave virtual machine,
- daily targeting beta cluster (en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org).

A reported in T176315, until about September 16 2017
selenium-RelatedArticles-jessie daily job was able to create pages at beta
cluster. The pages are created via action API using nodemw NPM package.
Code is in mediawiki/core.

Since about September 16 2017, selenium-RelatedArticles-jessie started
failing with 

Edit failed: Error: Error returned by API: Wikipedia has restricted the
ability to create new pages. You can go back and edit an existing page, or
[[Special:UserLogin|log in or create an account]].

We only keep jobs for the last 30 days so there is no record of failures
available in Jenkins. 

The workaround for the failure is to log in before creating a page. I have
implemented it on October 3 2017.

I have talked with @hashar about it and he says:

In T176315#3702865, @hashar wrote:
wmf-config/InitialiseSettings.php

'groupOverrides' => [
'enwiki' => [
'*' => [ 'createpage' => false ], // See P2059

P2059 Anonymous users have been prevented from creating new pages since
2005!

What is strange is that RelatedArticles tests were not failing until about
September 16. I have implemented logging in via the API on October 3, so I
am pretty sure the tests did not log in before that date.

I do not even know where to start looking. Any help is appreciated.

[Wikitech-l] Selenium tests in Node.js

[Željko Filipin]

# TL;DR

You can now write Selenium tests in Node.js! Learn more about it at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Selenium/Node.js

# Introduction

Five years ago we introduced browser tests using Selenium and a Ruby based
stack. It has worked great for some teams, and not so great for others.
Last year we talked to people from several teams and ran a survey[0]. The
outcome is a preference toward using a language developers are familiar
with: JavaScript/Node.Js.

After several months of research and development, we are proud to announce
support for writing tests in Node.js. We have decided to use
WebdriverIO[1]. It is already available in MediaWiki core and supports
running tests for extensions.

You can give it a try in MediaWiki-Vagrant[2]:

vagrant up
vagrant ssh
sudo apt-get install chromedriver
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib/chromium
cd /vagrant/mediawiki
xvfb-run npm run selenium

# Documentation

Extensive details are available on the landing page:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Selenium/Node.js

# Future

We plan to replace the majority of Selenium tests written in Ruby with
tests in Node.js in the next 6 months. We can not force anybody to rewrite
existing tests, but we will offer documentation and pairing sessions for
teams that need help. After 6 months, teams that want to continue using
Ruby framework will be able to do so, but without support from Release
Engineering team.

I have submitted a skill share session for Wikimedia Hackathon 2017 in
Vienna[3]. If you would like to pair on Selenium tests in person, that
would be a great time.

The list of short term actions is in task T139740[4].

# Thanks

I would like to thank several people for reviews, advice and code:
Jean-Rene Branaa, Dan Duvall, Antoine Musso, Jon Robson, Timo Tijhof.
(Names are sorted alphabetically by last name. Apologies to people I have
forgot.)

Direct link, for context:

http://stateofjs.com/2016/testing/

I would like to clarify. As far as I know, we use qunit for unit testing
frontend javascript code. We use cucumber for end-to-end/acceptance tests,
but only in combination with ruby, not javascript.

qunit and selenium are testing frameworks (generally speaking, a tool that
has setup, teardown, reporting...) and selenium is a browser driver,
something completely different. They are testing tools, and generally used
together, but not the same thing.

Some good news, we are experimenting with nodejs+mocha+selenium:

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Selenium/Node.js

Watch that page, I am working on it, more good stuff is coming soon.

[Wikitech-l] Updated documentation on Selenium tests (including support for Node.js)

[Željko Filipin]

In the last few weeks I have been updating documentation on Selenium tests.
You can find it here:

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Selenium

Please notice that there is documentation on how to write Selenium tests in
Node.js:

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Selenium/Node.js

There is still a lot of things I would like to do, but I think the
documentation is now in a good enough shape to announce it.

I am still working on it and I really need your feedback. Feel free to
reply here, at IRC (zeljkof at #wikimedia-releng) or at Phabricator:

https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T108108

I was not working on the documentation alone. I would like to say thank you
to Antoine Musso (hashar), Dan Duvall and Greg Grossmeier, among others.
