User:Daveh/Upgrade 1.38

Notes on upgrading MediaWiki from to 1.35 to 1.38.6.

• Update config/Extensions.php with the upgrade info array.
• Update all extensions with uesp-upgrademw.php
• Copy DarkVector skin from 1.35.
• Modify DarkVectorTemplate.php at the start to deal with the missing User::isWatched function (merge from the 1.39 branch....the full 1.39 skin doesn't work in 1.38).
• Set $sfwikiIsDev = true; in config/InitializeSettings.php temporarily to run the update script. The update script doesn't permit unknown parameters anymore (unsure how to fix this).
• Run the update: php74 ./maintenance/update.php.
• Run composer in the extensions/CirrusSearch/ and extensions/Elastica directories like:

    php74 /usr/local/bin/composer.phar update

Issues

• Search Index Issue

• Search index does not appear to be updating (might have been a prior issue).
• This seems to be just an change in behavior from the UESP search. Searching for porrim shows nothing while porrim* shows the relevant articles.

• Deprecation Warnings from EmbedVideo

• Replace EmbedVideo.hooks.php with version from https://gitlab.com/jmnote/EmbedVideo/-/blob/master/EmbedVideo.hooks.php .

• Class 'Wikimedia\CSS\Parser\Parser' not found from TemplateStyles

• Run composer in the TemplateStyles extension:

    php74 /download/composer.phar update --no-dev

• jquery.tabIndex module not found

• Edit the DarkVector skin to remove the jquery.tabIndex dependancy.

Files to Modify for 1.39

• DarkVectorTemplate.php -- Change from using the deprecated methods getFooterIcons() and renderAfterPortlet().
• EmbedVideo.hooks.php - Change addModules() and addModuleStyles() to use array parameters.
