Bug ID: 51915
Summary: another VE Invalid token on save attempt
Product: VisualEditor
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General

(This sounds exactly like bug 50424, but that was marked fixed on 2013-07-15
with "deployed within the hour".)
I had made source edits to a mediawiki.org page over https. Looking at it 30+
minutes later I wanted to make one more quick edit, so I clicked [Edit]. VE
worked fine, Save dialog, [Review your changes] worked, but the final [Save
page] drew blue bars before doing nothing.
Firebug's network console showed the API requst visualeditoredit with
basetimestamp 20130723212405
format json
minor 1
oldid 745108
page Manual:How_to_debug
starttimestamp 20130723232059
was failing with
{"servedby":"mw1139","error":{"code":"badtoken","info":"Invalid token"}}
I had a similar occurrence a few days ago where the API reported badtoken. I
can't remember the specifics of that, but I assumed it was my mistake because I
was using multiple accounts on different wikis. This time I wasn't doing
anything special. Connecting to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Version
in another tab shows me as still logged in.
Maybe there are two bugs here: VE's inability to recover from this, and the
lack of a "VE had an internal error" with suggestion as to how to what to do
(e.g. copy the right-hand column of [Review changes]. Regarding the former,
when I've lost state with source editing I usually find [Show preview] brings
it back, maybe VE can implement something like this internally.
