Topic on Extension talk:Widgets/archive 2

I use a Windows laptop with XAMPP. After I installed this extension, I enabled FlaggedRevs. However, when I then tried to save a page that transcluded a widget, I got this Internal error:

[67a635e5d3c566814dbcfeab] /wiki/Main_Page Error: Class "FlaggedArticle" not found

Backtrace:

I don't think I have to post the entire log, but you get the idea. 😉

I can edit the Widget: page just fine. Approving and rejecting revisions also works. But when I try to transclude the widget, it crashes. The problem disappears when I turn FlaggedRevs off.

Sorry about that - this turned out to be a bug from 2012! I guess Widgets and FlaggedRevs don't get used much together. Anyway, I just checked in what I believe is a fix.

You did? That's great!

@Yaron Koren: And? Did you find the bug?

I think so...

This is really weird. I updated your extension using Composer. But apparently something went wrong. Composer only updated certain files, but not all. 😕

I then tried downloading the entire extension manually from the ExtensionDistributor. When I went there, it said "1.40 (latest stable MediaWiki)".

I was still on 1.39, so I upgraded to 1.40. As a result, my entire wiki collapsed. 1.40 doesn't appear to support Flagged Revisions at all! I posted about it here and here.

@Yaron Koren: Sorry for the confusion. I fixed the above issue.

I now have the latest stable MW version. I have the latest version of FlaggedRevs. I downloaded the latest version of Widgets (for MW 1.40) via Special:ExtensionDistributor. But it still gives me the exact same error.

@Yaron Koren: Ok, scratch that. I now downloaded the alpha version, i.e. the master version, i.e. the development version. Now it does work. Why is everything so complicated! 😩

It's not quite as complicated as you may have thought - you only had to switch to the latest version of the Widgets extension, not upgrade MediaWiki or FlaggedRevs. But I'm glad everything works now.

@Yaron Koren: Yeah I know, and I apologize for my convoluted response.

Do you know when the alpha/development/master version will become the stable version?
