  • DOMDiff: For <ref> id properties in data-mw, fetch HTML and compare DOMs to detect edits to <ref>s without requiring clients to dirty the <ref> nodes
  • DOMDiff: Improve robustness of data-mw diff testing
  • Suppress separators in single-line context (part of task T52683)
  • task T86882, task T87513: Make hardcoded config values configurable
  • Blank template parameters should be preserved
  • Code cleanup in mediawiki wiki config
    • Use interwikiMap, not mwApiMap, to normalize titles

    • Make proxy_strip_https into a general proxy configuration option
  • Code cleanup and fixes in mediawiki API request handling
    • Refactor request default options into ApiRequest.prototype.request()
    • Strip UTF8 BOM so that JSON.parse() doesn't throw
    • Ignore modulemessages in api=parse result

Plus two new cherry-picked patches:

  • task T100696: suppress modulemessages deprecation warnings in logs.
    • A new version of mediawiki core was deployed earlier in the day which caused a spike in these warning messages. With this patch, we are suppressing all warning/api messages.
  • Fix typo in config property used for sampling heap usage
    • this should fix the outgoing network spike seen in previous attempt.

This is the same as yesterday's attempted deploy, which we had to defer due to task T100439.

Reverted after observing an outgoing network traffic spike on our canary deploy machine (wtp1001). Suspected to be due to stats or logging misconfiguration. This is because of a typo in one of the parsoid-config properties that determines the heap usage sample interval. Because of the typo, instead of sending heap usage samples every 5 mins, parsoid was sending samples all the time. This caused the network spike seen on wtp1001.

Because of task T100439, we cannot currently test the deploy by looking at VE edits to see that we didn't break anything by examining wikitext diffs. Parsoid deploys are paused till that ticket is resolved and a patch is deployed to production.

Friday, Feb 6, 2015, around 9:10pm PST: Hotfix of Gerrit change 189036 cherry-pick

edit

Jan 28, 2015 deploy of task T48811 exposed a longstanding bug in Parsoid which was fixed by Gerrit change 189036. On some pages, due to task T88864 where some templates weren't being expanded, the Attribute Expander was effectively being asked to re-expand the template over and over again in an infinite loop. This was being triggered on a few enwiki pages today that was causing processes to get stuck without being restarted. This hotfix prevents the infinite loop.

Friday, Feb 6, 2015, around 11:20am PST: Hotfix of Gerrit change 188982 cherry-pick

edit

A bug in our process restart (on fatal errors) was exposed by unrelated bugs in our parse pipeline which manifested as stuck processes on the cluster. This hotfix fixes that by ensuring that fatals continue to restart processes.

Wednesday, Feb 4, 2015, around 1pm PST: Yes Deployed dd4721f4

edit
  • Switch to using the compression package instead of the outdated version bundled with connect. In testing, that cleared up the memory leak noticed since the Jan. 15th deploy.
  • Some cleanup including:
    • Changing a few on handlers to once.
    • Using request's qs option for apiargs instead of stringifying those manually.
    • Better error handling for config requests.

  • Set X-Forwarded-Proto when proxying https. This fixes timeouts for ruwikinews which is strict about accepting only https connections.
  • Some performance tweaks to attribute expander to eliminate useless work and useless memory allocation
  • task T86902: Fixes to resource module loading URI in the <head> section of Parsoid HTML
  • Fixes to tokenizer to ensure that strings starting with '-' are parsed for directives like language variant markup

Friday, Jan 30, 2015 around 2:35 pm PST: Yes Deployed 2abd0eb6

edit

The Jan 15th deploy where Parsoid started using sitematrix info for configuring wikis was missing special handling for some wikis (commonswiki being one of them). This caused timeouts which in turn repeatedly exercised an existing memory leak. This, in turn, caused a slow buildup of leaked memory on the cluster and a higher than normal cpu load. This special Friday deploy fixed the config issues.

Specifically, the following two patches were deployed:

  • Some special wikis should use the default proxy
  • Strip TLS from sitematrix url if we're using the default proxy

Wednesday, Jan 28, 2015 around 1pm PST: Yes Deployed 88605a4a

edit
  • task T48811: Correctly handle templates that generate part-attribute and part-content of a DOM node.

Thursday, Jan 15, 2015 around 1pm PST: Yes Deployed 2fdf9298

edit

On Jan 14th 1:20 pm PST, we reverted Parsoid to older deployed version after dirty diffs were seen during post-deploy testing. It turned out that the dirty diffs weren't related to the Parsoid deploy, but now that those issues have been fixed, we'll revisit the Parsoid deployment on Thursday.
