Exception with MW 1.42.1

[fol9000]

I updated Mediawiki from 1.41.0 to 1.42.1 and I get this Exception. Did I make a mistake or is it a compatibility issue? The updated 1.42.1 runs perfectly with the Vector theme.

Thanks Frank

Solved. Try this:

Create the composer.local.json file with the following content:

{
  "minimum-stability" : "dev",
  "require": {
    "mediawiki/chameleon-skin": "dev-master"
  }
}

Then run: composer update --no-dev

https://www.area31.net.br/wiki/Especial:Vers%C3%A3o

my system: Gentoo Linux 2.15 MediaWiki | 1.42.1 PHP | 8.2.20 (apache2handler) ICU | 74.2 MariaDB | 10.6.17-MariaDB Pygments | 2.17.2 Chameleon | 5.0.0-dev

Yes, the MW 1.42 fixes are on the master branch (on the unreleased version 5.0.0).

That exception looks like it is coming from a 4.x version.

So I have a Dockerfile that builds MW:stable. This MW instance has the Chameleon skin and was working perfectly, until I ran the pipeline recently to make a few minor changes. I get this error: "Fatal error: Trait "Wikimedia\NormalizedException\NormalizedExceptionTrait" not found in /var/www/html/includes/Settings/Config/PhpIniSink.php on line 12"

There is a solution described here: https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticMediaWiki/issues/5519#issuecomment-2137684545

I tried that, but only added the NormalizedException package. I then got the AtEase package error, so I thought I was on the right track, and added in the AtEase package as well. The error I got after that was just plain weird and I can't find a solution online for it:

I even tried the solution above but it throws the same error....

I thought it could've been some extension that's deprecated in my LocalSettings.php, so I created a new project with a fresh install of MW:Stable, which ran fine without Chameleon. As soon as I added chameleon in, I got all these errors all over again.

This is my LocalSettings.php:

error_reporting( E_ALL );
ini_set( 'display_errors', 1 );

Could someone please help? I'm at my wit's end because I've been trying everything for the past 2 weeks but to no avail...

@tjos-bgs your question would be answered more efficiently if you provided the version of MediaWiki, the version of PHP, and the version of the Chameleon theme. :D

http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

[tjos-bgs]

Whoops, my bad...

my system: MediaWiki | 1.42.1 PHP | 8.2.20 (apache2handler) MySQL | MySQL Server 9.0.1-1.el9 Chameleon | 5.0.0-dev

Let me know if you require anything else.

[tjos-bgs]

Is there any update on this?

[malberts]

@tjos-bgs The original issue here was already fixed on the master branch, which is definitely running correctly on MediaWiki 1.42.1:

Those other missing classes you showed suggest there's an issue in your environment.

What is MW:Stable? Are you referring to this repo: https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-docker

And how are you installing Chameleon?

[tjos-bgs]

Yes, Mediawiki:Stable is the latest stable Docker image. Currently, the latest stable version is either 1.42 or 1.42.1.

I install chameleon via Composer and run via a shell script in the Dockerfile. It's been done like this for the last 2 years and it works (Every other skin works via this method, apart from the most recent Chameleon skin) The Work Directory is /var/www/html, so all commands in the shell script run in this directory

 # Composer Install
wget -cO - https://getcomposer.org/composer-2.phar > /tmp/composer.phar
mv /tmp/composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/composer
rm -rf /tmp/composer.phar

# Composer Commands for Composer 2
export COMPOSER_NO_INTERACTION=1
COMPOSER=/var/www/html/composer.local.json composer update --no-dev -o

FYI, Composer 2 doesn't get downloaded. It still reverts to version 1. With a self-update, composer does get bumped up to version 2, but the errors are still the same.

This is my composer.local.json file:

 {
  "require": {
    "mediawiki/validator": "2.2.*",
    "mediawiki/chameleon-skin": "~4.0",
    "wikimedia/normalized-exception": "^1.0",
    "wikimedia/at-ease": "^2.1"
  },
  "config": {
    "allow-plugins": {
      "composer/installers": true,
      "wikimedia/composer-merge-plugin": false
    }
  },
  "extra": {
    "merge-plugin": {
      "include": [
        "extensions/*/composer.json",
        "skins/*/composer.json"
      ]
    }
  }
}

[WouterRademaker]

You can try the change the line in composer.local.json to "mediawiki/chameleon-skin": "dev-master",

[tjos-bgs]

You can try the change the line in composer.local.json to "mediawiki/chameleon-skin": "dev-master",

Did that as well, as per the suggestion right at the top. Had the same error.

The Solution provided by the @coffnix Worked !,thanks alot man you saved alot of time , i have been struggling to fix this since many weeks !

[vamshinilagiri2]

@coffnix , i have coloured boxes(styles on my current site which was running

Chameleon | 1.3 | GPLv3+ | The Chameleon skin | Stephan Gambke Vector | – | GPL-2.0+ | Kattouw and others

Bootstrap | 1.1.5 | GPLv3+

Below is the screenshot of my current page which has above configuration

I have updated mine to the latest verssion

Chameleon 5.0.0 - Dev Boostrap 5.0.0

i dont see these styles , check below Screenshot PLEASE HELP ME FIX THIS

[malberts]

@vamshinilagiri2 your colour issue is unrelated to this issue, please log a different issue if you feel there is a bug or if something is still unclear. Your old version of Chameleon uses Bootstrap 3, whereas Chameleon 2 and later use Bootstrap 4. Most likely the issue you see is due to different classes for colours/borders/panels. I have not touched Bootstrap 3 in many years, so the best I can suggest right now is to look at the Bootstrap 4 docs to find the new classes: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.6
