Please take care.  Look forward to see you around again in March.
Hopefully the situations will improve soon / by then. (really needs to...)

[Wikitech-l] Update on Upload to Commons Android App project

2016-02-16 Thread Josephine Lim 
Hi all,
I've been working on a project to improve the categorization of
pictures in the Upload to Commons Android app
 as part of the Outreachy
Dec '15 program, which is soon drawing to an end. To summarize, 3 new
features have been implemented in this app:

1. If a picture with geolocation is uploaded, nearby category
suggestions are offered (based on the categories of other Commons
images with similar coordinates)

2. If a picture with no geolocation is uploaded, nearby category
suggestions are offered based on the user's current location. This is
optional and only works if enabled in Settings.

3. Category search (when typing in the search field) has been made
more flexible, whereas previously this was done solely by prefix
search. E.g. now searching for 'latte' should be able to return 'iced
latte'.

The latest version of the app is v1.11 and can be downloaded at
.
Please feel free to leave feedback or bug reports at
.

I have had an amazing time working on this app as part of the
Outreachy program, and I greatly appreciate all the support and help
that the WMF community has given me. :)


Cheers!

My statement "loaded from $WORKSPACE/vendor" was an oversimplification. In
actuality, it triggers a composer fetch in the MediaWiki install directory
– wherever it might be for that job ($MW_INSTALL_PATH, typically workspace
or workspace/src).

PHPUnit is then naturally called at runtime via the autoloader.

As before, extensions cannot override which PHPUnit version is used.
However, each build does fetch its own copy based on core's composer.json -
for the branch/commit of mediawiki-core used for that extensions' build (so
branches work as expected, e.g. upgrading PHPUnit in master doesn't affect
core or extension jobs for older release branches).

This is similar to how generic npm and composer jobs for libraries worked
already. Though unlike libraries, extensions are typically not standalone
projects. That's why the test entry point is in core. The extension is
registered with core. And core's test entry point is invoked with
parameters to skip core's test suite ("php mediawiki/tests/phpunit.php
--testsuite extensions")

No one has responded in a few days, and the current count is 13-5-2, so
I'm going to find a time to do the mass migration when there aren't that
many people making core changes and do this today or tomorrow.

How does that work for mwext-testextensions? Will each extension run with

[Wikitech-l] ImageTweaks demo now on display at Wikimedia Labs

2016-02-16 Thread Mark Holmquist 

Hi Multimedia enthusiasts, Commonists, and Wikitechers,

The Multimedia team has been hard at work building a new extension for 
editing images on-wiki, and we believe we now have a workable demo 
running on Labs! You can find it on our Multimedia Alpha Wiki[0], where 
there are also instructions for testing.


Note that we have a list of known bugs and failings on that wiki, and we 
are working on getting those fixed before we push the extension into any 
kind of deployment - our next steps will likely be to put it on 
test2wiki, then to push a BetaFeature to Commons if all goes well. We 
will keep you updated with the status of the project as we progress.


If you find more bugs, or have concerns about this extension, you can 
share them on the Village Pump[1]. You can also file a Phabricator task 
against ImageTweaks[2] if you prefer to be in more direct contact with 
the team about a technical issue.


Thanks for helping us test new stuff, and I look forward to getting this 
great tool out to you soon!

[Wikitech-l] Jenkins: Composer require-dev packages now supported for MediaWiki builds

2016-02-16 Thread Krinkle 
Hi all,

Over the weekend I worked on resolving
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T112895 ("Support installing composer
require-dev packages together with mediawiki/vendor").

With the help of Bryan Davis this has now been implemented and applied to
all mediawiki core and extension jobs (mediawiki-*, mwext-*).

Packages specified in mediawiki-core:/composer.json 'require-dev' section
will now be fetched and installed in Jenkins, and the exposed interfaces
are now available through the regular autoloader from Composer.

Key points:

* PHPUnit is now loaded from $WORKSPACE/vendor instead of the frozen legacy
copy at /srv/deployment/integration/phpunit.

* PHPUnit version has not yet changed (3.7.17). However upgrading is now as
easy as changing a number in MediaWiki's composer.json. And such change
will also be reflected in pre-merge test jobs, so that it can be verified
before merging. – See https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T99982 and
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/270485

* Aside from PHPUnit, one can now also other require-dev composer packages.
For example, we may want to consider using something like vfsStream for
file-system mocking in PHP. – https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T86163

[Wikitech-l] Issue with separate webserver port for Parsoid

2016-02-16 Thread James Montalvo 
The mw:Parsoid/Troubleshooting page (
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Parsoid/Troubleshooting) says the following:

> If your MediaWiki runs via SSL, make sure that your Parsoid server can
access your MediaWiki without certificate errors. In other words; make sure
that the certificate is valid and added to the certificate storage on your
Parsoid-running system. Alternatively and similarly, you can set up your
webserver to listen on another port, that is not open on your firewall,
thus it can be standard http without SSL, therefore be accessed by Parsoid.

I chose option two, using a separate port. My relevant Apache config is
below:

# standard https entry
Listen 443

SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /path/to/cert.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /path/to/key.key

AllowOverride All
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
Require all granted
Options All -Indexes

DocumentRoot /opt/meza/htdocs
ServerName Meza


# parsoid entry (port 9000 not open in firewall)
Listen 9000


AllowOverride All
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
Require all granted
Options All -Indexes

DocumentRoot /opt/meza/htdocs
ServerName MezaParsoidEntryPoint


Parsoid and VisualEditor are working great with this setup for everything
except images. When I first add an image (VE --> Insert --> Media) it works
as expected. The image displays and is configurable. When I save the page
everything functions properly. However, when I click edit again the image
does not show. Shortly thereafter the request for the image times out and I
get the following error in the browser console:

GET 
http://:9000/bme/img_auth.php/thumb/6/66/BME_sign.jpg/400px-BME_sign.jpg
net::ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT

Note that it's attempting to load the image over port 9000, not 443.

Is there a way to tell images to load over the standard entry point?

Thanks,
James

[Wikitech-l] Analysis and Concepts

2016-02-16 Thread Derk-Jan Hartman 
I've been doing a lot of thinking about products that have been built in
the past years, discussions that we are having about current developments
and about future projects.

And I noticed that I really needed to put some of that down somewhere
public. So I have created the following:

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_User_Interface/Analysis
A place to analyse things we have right now, both in software, content and
process. To figure out why they are how they are, what they mean, break
them down into parts. Knowing things like this will help us build better
products.

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_User_Interface/Concepts
A place where I want to log some product ideas that I have been considering
for a while.

These places are meant to inspire discussion, strategy, design, as well as
document.

Additionally, I would like to point out that Risker has been writing down a
checklist for products from her perspective, which I think is a great idea
and welcome more people to do. Hopefully, such checklists can be
consolidated into a more 'formalized' standard (a bit like we also have
code conventions) eventually to be used for the WMF product development
process .
