Met problem installing WikibaseLexeme Extension

[Kenan-jeff-Jiang]

Hi, community, I encountered a problem when I tried to install the WikibaseLexeme Extension to my local wikibase in docker. I did my wikibase set up following the official https://github.com/wmde/wikibase-release-pipeline/tree/main/deploy#initial-setup and my extension setup with this https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WikibaseLexeme#:~:text=The%20Wikibase%20Lexeme%20extension%20provides,and%20mappings%20to%20other%20vocabularies.

From the error message, I think the wikibase has noticed this new extension and trying to load it. But it has a version mismatch. I hope to get some help on the best step forward. Should I and how to upgrade the wikibase to 1.43? or is it possible to get an Lexeme extension that supports lower version of Wikibase. Many thanks.

Not directly related, but I had been trying to get extensions to work and have been documenting my attempts here: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T372599

I have decided to upgrade my wikibase to a version that is >= 1.43. Based on the document, we have a list of remote branches: origin/HEAD -> origin/main origin/T296812-document-storage-locations origin/T363103-example-preflight-check origin/T367476-turn-rest-api-on origin/T372455-wbs-only-expose-proxy-ports origin/T372458-self-hosted-runners origin/auth-docker-hub origin/deploy-1 origin/deploy-2 origin/deploy-3 origin/deploy-config-tidy origin/docker-compose-building-tagging origin/docker-compose-building-tagging--extended origin/ensure-correct-permissions-of-composer.local.json origin/healthchecks-to-dockerfiles origin/main origin/mw-1.39 origin/mw-1.40 origin/mw-1.41 origin/nx-monorepo-non-js origin/nx-monorepo-non-js--test-maintenance origin/nx-monorepo-non-js--update-commits-ts origin/optional-certs origin/updated-release-checklist origin/wdqs-image-clean-up

Current the deploy-3 is the 1.42 version, I wonder which one is 1.43?

Hi @Kenan-jeff-Jiang,

Thanks for contacting us.

I just added instructions how to install WikibaseLexeme to the ticket @Superraptor mentioned earlier already: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T372599

Wikibase Suite only supports stable MediaWiki versions. At the time of this writing, the latest stable is 1.42. Wikibase Suite is currently based on MediaWiki 1.42 on the deploy-3 branch as well as the main branch. I would highly encourage you to stick to the stable version. We cannot support you with unreleased versions. In order to get compatible versions of extensions, make sure to checkout the REL1_42 branch such as https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/mediawiki/extensions/WikibaseLexeme/+/refs/heads/REL1_42.

Hope that helps, Best, Robert
