Bug ID: 62001
Summary: browser readyState should be "loading" until login
completes
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified

OS: All

Seen in fairly recent times, particularly for Internet Explorer:
Seen particularly in browser tests, which move quickly from logging in to a
particular URL:
It seems that the browser readyState is moved from "loading" to either
"interactive" or "complete" before the login process finishes. I believe this
because I see automated tests that log in, then navigate to a URL to perform
some action only to get an error message that the user is not logged in.
I got around this by adding some code to the shared login method here to check
for complete login before the tests proceed:
https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-selenium/commit/a1d7fda4af531773a748f990e294fa5adf0b0628
However, this causes problems for tests for the Language teams because every
aspect of the user-specific signs of being logged in (Logout link, Preferences,
etc.) is localized, making it difficult or impossible to identify a generic way
to confirm login.
It would be better to control the browser readyState properly.
