Subject: _getUserDataOld call from low-level getUrl
Original description:
From
http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/pywikipedia-l/2012-October/007585.html :
I just wanted to put\(\) a simple page on a MediaWiki 1.16
instance, where I have to use screen scraping \(use\_api=False\).
There is something strange however:
There is an API call invoked by \_getBlocked:
/w/api.php?action=query&format=json&meta=userinfo&uiprop=blockinfo
Here's my backtrace:
File "pywikipedia/wikipedia.py", line 693, in get
expandtemplates = expandtemplates\)
File "pywikipedia/wikipedia.py", line 743, in \_getEditPage
return self.\_getEditPageOld\(get\_redirect, throttle, sysop, oldid,
change\_edit\_time\)
File "pywikipedia/wikipedia.py", line 854, in \_getEditPageOld
text = self.site\(\).getUrl\(path, sysop = sysop\)
File "pywikipedia/wikipedia.py", line 5881, in getUrl
self.\_getUserDataOld\(text, sysop = sysop\)
File "pywikipedia/wikipedia.py", line 6016, in \_getUserDataOld
blocked = self.\_getBlock\(sysop = sysop\)
File "pywikipedia/wikipedia.py", line 5424, in \_getBlock
data = query.GetData\(params, self\)
File "pywikipedia/query.py", line 146, in GetData
jsontext = site.getUrl\( path, retry=True, sysop=sysop, data=data\)
getUrl\(\), which is also called from API, seems always
to call \_getUserDataOld\(text\) where text is ... API output
so it tries to do strange things on that and gives warnings
like
Note: this language does not allow global bots.
WARNING: Token not found on wikipedia:pl. You will not be able to edit any
page.
which is nonsense since the analyzed text is not HTML - only API output.
If getUrl\(\) is supposed to be a low-level call, why call \_getUserDataOld\(\)
there?
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/pywikipedia/7461
has introduced this call there.
It's easily reproducable by this:
import wikipedia
import config
config.use\_api = False
wikipedia.verbose = True
s = wikipedia.getSite\("pl", "wikipedia"\)
p = wikipedia.Page\(s, u"User:Saper"\)
c = p.get\(\)
c += "<\!-- test -->"
p.put\(c, u"Testing wiki", botflag=False\)
//Saper
