Hello, The beta cluster attempts to reproduce the production environnement for testing needs. It had several issues related to caching which I believe have been all fixed by now.
I though that it would be nice to have some automatic tests that would verify the caching works properly. I would one day have to look at Selenium but meanwhile here are my tests idea: Editing an article should purge the mobile cache: Edit some page on http://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/ As an anonymous user the page should be up to date as well as its mobile version on http://en.m.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org Uploading a new version of a file should clear the cached versions of the thumbnails. Upload some File on commons. Generate a thumbnail. Upload a new version Verify the thumbnail is now a different file The last test would be to make sure that CSS/JSS using the ResourceLoader are using the bits server. I.E should match something like: https?://bits(.beta.wmflabs|wikimedia).org/load.php.* We had the material cached on the text cache which was not invalidated. That caused a lot of issues recently were outdated cached Javascript were sent to the client :) Thoughts? -- Antoine "hashar" Musso _______________________________________________ QA mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/qa
