edwardspec added a comment to T283949: Running tests with --reuse-db (and partially with --use-normal-tables) became useless, because MediaWikiIntegrationTestCase now always deletes tables, even in --use-normal-tables mode.
  1. Its removal should be reverted. It was removed without understanding of its usecase (see above), and there is no benefit to it being removed.
  2. Even without --reuse-db, a second issue ("due to tables now being deleted, --use-normal-tables now can't be used for inspecting the database after a failed test") still remains.
  3. T283146 incorrectly implies that --use-normal-tables was useless due to table truncation. This is wrong, because phpunit can be called with --stop-on-failure, which ensures that no other tests run after the failed test (meaning that tables won't be truncated: they are truncated at the beginning of tests).

edwardspec added a comment to T209563: Default $wgMathMathMLUrl points to non-working mathoid.testme.wmflabs.org.

As convenient as it would be for WMF to say "just go install your own Mathoid, Restbase, etc.",
the facts are:

  1. Math is an extension of immense importance. It's used on many third-party wikis, including scientific wikis operated by small groups or individuals.
  2. In the past, Math didn't have all those complex dependencies. You just placed texvc executable where needed and it worked.
  3. Later Math was rewritten to require Mathoid server and (apparently) Restbase server. Those are memory-consuming daemons that run always (even if the wiki has like 30 formulas overall) and require adding NodeJS (not the least memory-leaky thing in the world) to the stack.
  4. An experienced engineer can setup that, but let's be honest about it, most noncommercial third-party wikis won't be able to.
  5. ... so wikis who have like 30 formulas use the default configuration, with enwiki as Restbase and WMF's beta mathoid as Mathoid. This is reflected by default settings.
  6. Breaking those default settings, either by blanking them or by shutting down the public Mathoid server that WMF has been operating, would just break Extension:Math on many sites, and prevent many more from using it.

edwardspec added a comment to T200230: Missing commit history at Gerrit's CreatedPagesList repository.

I used force push to import existing revision history from the Github repository.
The repository on Gerrit was just created and had no code, so there was no reason not to overwrite it. Two commits by @MarcoAurelio were things like placeholder README, copied codesniffer config, etc., so nothing meaningful was lost.
