Description of request

The staging wiki is currently down due to an issue with the PluggableAuth extension:

Original exception: [agJnA4BxF5UG1ndMkHGROgAAABM] /w/   TypeError: MediaWiki\Extension\PluggableAuth\PluggableAuthService::autoLogin(): Argument #1 ($title) must be of type Title, MediaWiki\Title\Title given, called in /usr/share/mediawiki/extensions/PluggableAuth/includes/PluggableAuthHooks.php on line 119<br />

I believe this is because the plugin is too old for the new mediawiki we're now running on staging. We have version 7.1.0 of the plugin, latest is 7.5.0, and somewhere in the middle, this commit landed which is probably what we need.

I assume that will break the plugin on older mediawiki versions, so we should be careful not to install it on prod until we upgrade its mediawiki.

I built and updated to 7.50 ... but it's still not happy, it just doesn't give errors now.

Hoping @ryanlerch can see something obvious with the theme making it not show anything?

Yeah, right now we just get:

[root@wiki01 ~][STG]# curl http://localhost/wiki/
<br />
<b>Notice</b>:  Unable to find phpseclib Crypt/RSA.php.  Ensure phpseclib is installed and in include_path before you include this file in <b>/usr/share/php/jumbojett/OpenID-Connect-PHP/src/OpenIDConnectClient.php</b> on line <b>35</b><br />

which is...unhelpful. That error is not a fatal one, so we're basically just displaying nothing except that warning method. We don't know why or how to find out why.

Note that this is a link to mediawiki-PluggableAuth-7.5.0-1.fc44 build.

In theory I can downgrade the entire machine back to 42, but given EOL that's a short term solution.

Confirmed this is a skin problem. I changed the relevant bit of /srv/web/fp-wiki/LocalSettings.php to:

wfLoadSkin( 'Fedora' );
wfLoadSkin( 'Vector' );
# $wgDefaultSkin = 'Fedora';
$wgDefaultSkin = "vector";

...and now we get technically usable output (including the Crypt/RSA.php warning). So wfLoadSkin() isn't failing for Fedora, but using it produces a blank page (maybe due to the no headelement).

Pinging @ryanlerch again.

I've now upgraded (built in f44-infra tag) to new versions of:

mediawiki-OpenIDConnect
php-jumbojett-OpenID-Connect-PHP

...so the Crypto warnings went away, and it's mostly just skin problems (and maybe RSS).

I have now fixed the mediawiki theme, pushed a new release of it, built the infra RPM, and it is running on staging:
