Hi all,
I've been looking into a similar thing for a different extension, where
I wanted it to be compatible with MW 1.37+ (see task
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T316479>). Basically, I want the
tests to run both on REL1_37 and master to make sure that whatever I
merge is compatible with 1.37. The cherry-picking approach is not a
valid solution, as it's tedious, error-prone, and I can never be sure
that the patch works with both branches.
I know of one extension that seemingly has something like this:
DonationInterface. For example, this master patch
<https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/extensions/DonationInterface/+/733965>
had its tests run against REL1_35.
Can something like this be replicated in other extensions? I think it's
a vital feature for extension developers, because compatibility with
only master is next to useless. To be honest, it boggles my mind that
this hasn't become common practice long ago.

The continous integration testing currently uses the same branch fot
the "dependecies" as it tests. So if you create a change set on branch
`master`, it will use `master` for all the other repos (like mw core,
extensions, skins) it clones to build up the environment. I am not
aware of any way to influence this on a per repo level.
The only way I am currently aware of is to commit against a branch
called `REL1_35` of your extension and then cherry-pick the changes up
to `master`, once the tests have passed. This will make the CI tests
use the `REL1_35` branch of each dependency (including mw core).

*Betreff:* [Wikitech-l] How to specify version of MW that Jenkins
should run?
I'm having some issues with Jenkins running the latest version of MW
for an extension (Wikispeech
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Wikispeech>). Jenkins run
with the 1.40 alpha, but we want the extension to support the latest
LTS (1.35 as of right now).
I tried changing in extension.json to:
"requires": {
"MediaWiki": "1.35.*"
}
which caused an error for Jenkins:
12:44:09 A dependency error was encountered while installing the
extension "Wikispeech": Wikispeech is not compatible with the
current MediaWiki core (version 1.40.0-alpha), it requires: 1.35.*.
The whole log is here: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/P34482.
How can I specify what version of MW to run with? I've looked at both
the MW wiki and Wikitech, but hasn't found any instructions for this.
Best,
