Hello Pywikibot devs and users, The Wikimedia reading infrastructure team has been working hard on overhauling the way MediaWiki handles sessions. It had a few issues and we had to roll it back.
Bryan Davis announced on wikitech-l the feature has been merged again in master and it is now enabled on the beta cluster. I am wondering whether one/all of you could run Pywikibot tests against the beta cluster to stress out the SessionManager? Maybe one would be creative enough to write tests exercising login/logout/creation of users? We get logs saved on https://logstash-beta.wmflabs.org/ Remember: use a different password! Below is Bryan original announce. Lets follow up on wikitech-l. -- Antoine Musso Le 04/02/2016 22:33, Bryan Davis a écrit : > One of the conclusions from the recent SessionManager rollout failure [0] was: > > "we should have recruited and coordinated testing by developers and > users inside and outside of the WMF while the code was only on the > beta testing cluster" > > SessionManager is back on the WMF beta cluster [1] now after being > briefly removed for the 1.27.0-wmf.12 release cycle, so an > announcement seems in order.
