EntitySchema is a MediaWiki extension. These instructions assume that it is installed with mwcli.
Note that for a working development installation of MediaWiki, the environment variables MW_SERVER, MW_SCRIPT_PATH, MEDIAWIKI_USER and MEDIAWIKI_PASSWORD must be set. They will also be used for browser testing in this extension.
Clone the code into your extensions/ directory and add the following lines to your LocalSettings.php:
$wgEntitySchemaShExSimpleUrl = 'https://shex-simple.toolforge.org/wikidata/packages/shex-webapp/doc/shex-simple.html?data=Endpoint:%20https://query.wikidata.org/sparql&hideData&manifest=[]&textMapIsSparqlQuery'; wfLoadExtension( 'EntitySchema' );
$wgEntitySchemaShExSimpleUrl is intended to contain a link to a tool that allows checking the current schema against Items. See the description of the option in extension.json for more details. That value is the same as what is in the Wikidata production configuration at time of writing and is also suitable for development.
Then, in the root mediawiki directory, update Medawiki composer and run the update maintenance script:
mw docker mediawiki composer update mw docker mediawiki exec php maintenance/run.php update
Install the npm dependencies, recommended way is to use the fresh tool integrated into mwcli, by running the following in the EntitySchema/ directory:
$ mw docker mediawiki fresh npm ci
Install the composer dependencies, recommended way is with mwcli being run in the EntitySchema/ directory:
$ mw docker mediawiki composer install
Optionally add a pre-commit Git hook for lint-staged (requires Node, but wont work in fresh-node as .git is mounted read-only there and php is not available):
$ ln -s ../../node_modules/.bin/lint-staged .git/hooks/pre-commit
PHPCS and other PHP linting
$ mw docker mediawiki composer test
If there are fixable errors, then they can be fixed with:
mw docker mediawiki composer fix
The static analyzer phan can run from the root mediawiki directory with:
mw docker mediawiki composer phan
It might take a few minutes to finish as it runs a global analysis. If there is an issue in non-EntitySchema code, then that might be resolved by first: making sure all your core/extensions/skin repositories are up-to-date (run git pull), and second: updating composer in mediawiki core (see above).
From the root mediawiki directory run the following:
$ mw docker mediawiki composer phpunit extensions/EntitySchema/tests/phpunit/
All tests should pass on the master branch.
However, note that Wikimedia CI runs a subset of the PHPUnit tests, the tests in the unit subdirectory, with a slightly different command that asserts some more restrictions:
$ mw docker mediawiki exec php vendor/bin/phpunit extensions/EntitySchema/tests/phpunit/unit/
Though this will not work for integration test. Use that command to reproduce CI failures when working with unit tests specifically.
In the EntitySchema/ directory:
$ mw docker mediawiki fresh npm test
In general, there are two different approaches to run these tests. Headless (that is without a window opening, like in CI) and normal.
In CI, the browser tests are executed headlessly by invoking npm run selenium-test. To run the browser tests in a headless way locally, we can make use of the fresh image that comes with mwcli that is also already preconfigured to run MediaWiki browser tests:
mw docker mediawiki fresh -- npm run selenium-test
Note that while there is no window opening, you do get videos in the directory cypress/videos/.
For local development where you want to directly watch the browser test play out, then above solution cannot be used. We must run the browser test in the shell directly, without a docker container.
You can open up Cypress by executing
npm run cypress:open
Many of the dependencies of EntitySchema are kept up-to-date by LibraryUpgrader. However, sometimes LibraryUpgrader runs into trouble and therefore we want to make sure to check the state of our dependencies regularly. And more fundamentally, LibraryUpgrader is currently not running at all, see T345930.
In general, we want to keep both the Node.js npm dependencies, as well as the PHP composer dependencies up-to-date. For the npm dependencies, first make sure your local dependencies are up-to-date by executing npm ci. Then run npm outdated to see if any need an update.
Similarly for composer: make sure your local dependencies match what is in composer.json by running composer update. Then check for outdated dependencies by running composer outdated --direct.
All dependencies should generally be updated to the latest version. If you discover that a dependency should not be updated for some reason, please amend this section with the dependency and the reason. If a dependency can only be updated with substantial manual work, you can create a new task for it and skip it in the context of the current chore.
