I have media wiki .29 installed on a virtual machine and when i try to edit the page using visualeditor nothing changes. The URL changes but nothing else happens, the page just stays the same. No error messages or loading bars appear like they did in a previous version i ran(which also did not get visual editor to fully function on).@Mediwiki~mediawikiwiki@Visual edit

How did you download the extension?

I've extracted it with cmd and git into the extensions folder, i also tried to download it from the site manually and putt it into the extensions folder.

It sounds like your missing lib/ve submodule.

is that when you do the submodule command in cmd? If so i have do that but i dont know if it actually brought them in.

Yes if you cloned it from github or downloaded it from GitHub. Otherwise no.

i re-downloaded the visualeditor from git using:

cd extensions                                                                                                git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/p/mediawiki/extensions/VisualEditor.git
cd VisualEditor
git submodule update --init

Everything came through, i think. Is there anyway to check if i have the lib/ve. Also is this the correct version for mediawiki .29?

By default, the branch that should be downloaded would be the master branch.

To change to the REL1_29 branch, use the following code: git checkout -b REL1_29 origin/REL1_29

Still nothing, its like the page gets stuck after i click edit. Nothing changes though.

Are there any errors logged in the Console tab of the browser F12 developer tools?
