Bug ID: 52563
Summary: VisualEditor: Don't wait indefinitely for gadget
servers that are not responding
Product: VisualEditor
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
When a user has installed a gadget that relies on data from an external server,
VisualEditor appears to wait indefinitely for that server to respond. Normally
this is OK, but when that server is down VE will apparently wait forever (or at
least longer than the 5 minutes I was prepared to wait) for a response.
The source editor appears to give up after a wile (2 minutes?), and loads as if
the gadget was not called. VE should exhibit this behaviour too.
Tested with the HAPPI gadget ([[User:EpochFail/HAPPI]]). As of 21:52 UTC 05
August 2013 that gadget depends on a server at wikipedia.grouplens.org that is
not responding
