Bug management/platformeng

This page is used to document tickets discussed in the weekly meeting between Greg Grossmeier and Andre Klapper.

2015-01-12

I wonder who could look at the Commons API in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T86436. anomie maybe? <greg-g> most likely, also maybe the multimedia team

2015-01-05

<greg-g> l10nupdate... saw that one: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T85790
<andre__> MoodBar broken, but Krenair seems to be on it: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T85300
for TitleBlacklist, https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T85428 not cool

2014-12-15

Not sure how bad https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T78553 is - search not behaving perfectly well.
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T78517 - "MessageCache::parse called by ..." set to "Unbreak now" but patch already merged.
Still some login issues accumulating in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T75462
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T78313 - "opensearch queries to api.php no longer return a Description field" but anomie is aware

2014-12-08

T76979 (brought up in Core meeting)
greg is already aware of T76743.
We archived the "platformeng" tag project in Phabricator.

2014-11-10

(skipped; nothing to discuss/triage)

2014-11-03

only thing where I'm not sure how bad it is is https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72887#c6, nothing apart from that

2014-10-06

Probably aware of the 503 created by Wikidata in https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=71519 (hoo sent a long explanation to ops@ and Coren has temporarily protected the Wikidata item).

* https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=71621 is a regression, again nothing to act on but good to know
* there are several things that broke in the OCG/PDF world but Andre sent an email to the OCG team already - https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?bug_id=71675%2C71660%2C68576%2C71647

2014-09-29

(skipped; nothing to discuss/triage)

2014-09-22

(nothing to discuss/triage)

2014-09-08

CC'ed on a backport request for https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70448
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69924 (Wrapping user scripts with "if(window.mw){...}" breaks them on Firefox) might also welcome some "solution"; still creates issues. Krinkle commented there but I guess somebody needs to decide.

2014-08-25

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?bug_id=69565%2C69460%2C69444%2C69834%2C69311
Two are CentralAuth stuff, might be beta specific, hopefully
for the swift outage in 69311, it would just be nice if somebody investigated or decides what to do (cleanup?)
for TimedMediaHandler in 69444 I don't succeed in getting attention; probably nothing to push necessarily, just saying
the ResourceLoader one in 69460 I simply have no idea how bad that is or not

2014-08-04

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69102 is a blocker but already has a patch
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69096 logging in to Beta Commons does not work
FYI, disabling MediaViewer on Commons request in https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69080 but something that's likely Erik's territory

2014-07-28

Nothing new to mention (but pinged greg about https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=68757 two hours later)

2014-07-21

Nothing to mention

2014-07-14

Still highly visible issues with unlocalized strings. Nikerabbit identified several problems: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67805#c9 - This probably needs more attention by core / deployment devs.
FYI, https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61876#c12 - 7 broken user accounts created on Commons in last two days; legoktm on it.
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67905 "SqlBagOStuff::set: Flushing an explicit transaction, getting out of sync!" - I have problems to judge its importance/urgency; I've asked Krinkle on that ticket, but welcome to keep an eye on.

2014-07-07

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67504 might welcome a backport in the SWAT window (or whatever it's called)
For https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67559 I have no idea yet if it's a small problem or will become a big problem

2014-06-30

Chromium issue in jquery.ui.autocomplete in https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67243 - see screenshot - wondering whether to work around in Core and how much impact this has. Trevor and Timo CC'ed.
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66953 - JobQueueRedis locking up and throwing errors and exceptions, only happening when using Redis on Ubuntu 14.04 with --procs parameter - Aaron to judge.
FYI, https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67270 about missing REL1_23 branches for some extensions.

2014-06-16

FYI, minor thing: There's another Math issue (warnings in l10n) in https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66586

2014-06-09

recursive Special:RunJobs issue in https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66225 - Aaron has commented on it
FYI, 1.23.0 tarball had extension branch problems: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64157

2014-06-02

heads-up that uploading via UW is borken in Beta Labs ( https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=65958 )
discussion over thumbnail rendering changes (but patch deployment got reverted)

2014-05-28

greg to potentially bring up random mail issues at scrum of scrums: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?bug_id=56414,64795,64818,59731,65860,64441

2014-05-26

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=65665#c19 got reopened and is marked as blocking deployment - either removing blocking 38865 or make somebody investigate again?
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=65733#c9 - backporting/SWAT requested
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=65704#c8 - another backport request

2014-05-19

only thing that makes me feel concerned is https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=65298 - PDF creation etc seems to be broken completely now on pl.wikisource

2014-05-12

(in-person meeting at Zurich Hackathon)

2014-05-05

On Commons, https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64883 and https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64622 are thumbnail issues that currently get some attention and buzz. Aaron is CC'ed and Multimedia was pinged on IRC. Same for UW stash errors like https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64685 https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64148
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64779 - GlobalUsage update script aborts. No idea how important this is or will get, if links on Commons get out of sync over time.
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56849 - I'd really love to see that "edit conflict" patch getting some review; as this brought up again on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_%28technical%29#Edit_conflicts_not_reported
several reports of people getting logged off, latest is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_%28technical%29#Has_duration_of_inactivity_before_automatic_log-off_changed.3F - but no clear details here yet

2014-04-28

WikiEditor not showing up (mwalker is aware and reverted): https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64289
Something is borken on kk.wp with languages (language team territory):

* https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64440
* https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64452

2014-04-21

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64093 (search field) has a backport request flag set. Dunno if really important, but it got some coverage in https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Fragen_zur_Wikipedia#Verschlimmbesserung_der_Suchvorschl.C3.A4ge
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63915 - you are aware: MathJax broken in 1.23wmf22 and master
TimedMediaHandler: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64152 triggers lots of fatal warnings
FYI, only Liangent experiencing so far that changing his user prefs on zh.wp gets reverted: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64153 - I wonder if it's worth to investigate by somebody.
FYI, the REL_1_23 branches for extensions are based on 20131022: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64157 (Mark and Markus CC'ed)
I've seen several people on de.wp complaining that pages load slowly or don't finish loading in https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Fragen_zur_Wikipedia#Seiten_laden_nicht_zu_Ende but I have not seen anything on en.wp etc so not enough info yet

2014-04-14

Nothing to mention

2014-04-07

Site request patch to review in bugzilla:63449 to "Add musees.cg70.fr to $wgCopyUploadsDomains for Commons for GWToolset" as they are "on a tight schedule"
nothing else to mention

2014-03-31

Faidon set https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63249 to highest, but Greg is CC'ed already.
FYI, there are broken links in some email notifications: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63269

2014-03-24

nothing to report

2014-03-17

nothing to report, but I'd love to see further investigation on https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32551

2014-03-10

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62422 got marked as a deployment blocker and there's a patch. and a user said it works.
There are also two deployment system related patches in https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62262#c3 and https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51174#c24 that you are probably aware of

2014-02-24

No new breakage to report, and nothing on fire.
Someone should investigate descriptionless files on Commons: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32551#c22 - I've CC'ed Sean and Aaron already.
Pinged Greg on https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31369 as Greg set it to highest prio half a year ago.
Push for a solution on https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61729 (Flow on Meta) - Greg plans to talk to Growth.

2014-02-10

Just want to make you aware of the comment in https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60997#c4 - might welcome a reply to our volunteer coders
but apart from that I have not seen anything new in the VPs or "really bad" in Bugzilla

2014-02-03

Apart from https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60710 (that I marked as blocking the next deployment due to the issue with dumps, though I'm not convinced) I haven't seen anything today in the Village Pumps and Boogzillas.

2014-01-27

FYI, some dissent here: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60408 - Enable global AbuseFilters for all small wikis
FYI, Flow deployment vs community consensus in https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60178 but you commented already on https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57512
Greg is aware of both of them
(no new platformeng tagged tickets)

2014-01-13

FYI, search index not updating on en and de: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59979 but Chad and Nik have commented.
FYI, several WP frontpages were not working today: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59993 - Handled by ops already by reverting the WM configuration patch for CategoryTree's https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/59798 (ticket is reopened now). See Mark's analysis and recommendations on ops mailing list from 15:53 today.
Went through forums and mail and there's nothing urgent to report that I'm aware of, so nothing actionable for Greg.

2014-01-06

Situation in https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59234 - patches to backport

Investigate https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59677 ? "Either FlaggedRevs is not logging to CheckUser or CU query is broken"; the usual people are CC'ed already; but might welcome a nudge
FYI, accidentially removing deployed sec fixes on server happened again (but got fixed), see https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57081#c25
FYI, I'm very happy to see a patch in 57489 being merged; one highest priority item less
Didn't see anything in the VillagePumps today worth escalating
No new tickets tagged with the "platformeng" keyword in the last 14 days

2013-12-09

issues with ODT, ZIM and Ebook PDF export on Special:Book (but not on all servers): https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?bug_id=57920,57975,58151. Sent email to MaxSem, mwalker and CC'ed greg.

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58074#c6 (some namespace aliases not working anymore on ml wikis). I pinged Reedy on Fri or Thu but no response, plus no idea who could analyze what happened here.
