Bug #: 42526
Summary: Permission checks fails in some tests
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: WikidataRepo
AssignedTo: [email protected]

Mobile Platform: ---
It seems like the $wgUser is sometimes set to group wbeditor and sometimes to
sysop. When it is set to sysop testing of permissions will sometimes fail
because of failed assumptions.
A typical run where this bug shows up is for group Wikibase and gives six
failures in testCheckPermission and testUserCan. Other groups, or combinations
of groups, will give other permission related errors.
It is available a workaround in Change Iaa705f72: "Workaround for failing
tests", but any tests that manipulates the $wgUser should save previous state
and restore it on exit. The tests for EditEntity seems to do this right (saved
in $userGroups) but EditContentTest and subclasses seems to fail on this. When
the method testCheckPermission or testUserCan is called the permission checks
are triggered, and then they will fail sometimes because the user is either a
sysop or wbeditor and they have different rights.
