Hooks and database errors after installing chameleon via Composer

[Ainz]

Greetings...

All the composer commands, including the undocumented composer update finalized with zero issues. Everything in place and checked via directory on server.

When reloading my MediaWiki page it throws several errors. I am unable to verify installation vis Special/Versions either.

Backtrace:

The MW site is new and there is nothing but default settings and files on it. The only additions to LocalSettings.php are those specified for installation of chameleon and bootstrap. Site works after commenting out those lines, running PHP 8.1. MW version 1.40.

Wait, maybe that's it... should I scrap MW 1.40 and install 1.39?

Any other ideas on what is causing this?

[malberts]

I have not looked into this, but our unit tests run and pass on MW 1.40 with PHP 8.1

Can you confirm in skins/chameleon/skin.json that you have version 4.2.1?

[Ainz]

hi, thanks.

Your version is a year old: "version": "4.0.0".

Download the latest version of Chameleon which is 4.2.1.

[Ainz]

Well, using composer, as specified in the first post, I assumed it fetched the latest version.

I suppose I can overwrite the files.

[malberts]

When I run these 2 commands:

COMPOSER=composer.local.json composer require --no-update mediawiki/chameleon-skin:~4.0
composer update mediawiki/chameleon-skin --no-dev -o

It gets the latest version 4.2.1:

Did you include the ~ character? Otherwise it will get 4.0.

What does your composer.local.json file look like?

[Ainz]

I ran those commands exactly as you type them. Copy pasted.

my composer.local.json is

{
    "config": {
        "allow-plugins": {
            "wikimedia/composer-merge-plugin": true
        }
    },
    "require": {
        "mediawiki/chameleon-skin": "4.0"
    }
}

[malberts]

"mediawiki/chameleon-skin": "4.0"

That should be "mediawiki/chameleon-skin": "~4.0" Then run the second update command again.

[Ainz]

Updated.

Ok, going for that in a bit.

[Ainz]

composer update mediawiki/chameleon-skin --no-dev -o
