API call from page form textarea to convert wikitext in html results in 404 error.

(action: veforall-parsoid-utils

format: json

from: wikitext

to: html

content: <div> ... </div>)

Response:

{

    "error": {

        "code": "veforall-api-error-parsoid-error",

        "info": "Request to parsoid for wikitext to html conversion of content connected to title example failed: 404",

        "*": "See /api.php for API usage. Subscribe to the mediawiki-api-announce mailing list at &lt; wikimedia/postorius/lists/mediawiki-api-announce.lists.wikimedia.org/&gt; for notice of API deprecations and breaking changes."

    }

}

This worked in 1.37 just fine on PHP 8.0.

The error log shows multiple Http::createMultiClient Deprecation notices from VEForAll

PHP message: PHP Deprecated:  Use of Http::createMultiClient was deprecated in MediaWiki 1.34. [Called from VEForAll\ApiParsoidUtilsOld::parsoid in /extensions/VEForAll/includes/ApiParsoidUtilsOld.php at line 125] in /includes/debug/MWDebug.php on line 381" while reading response header from upstream, request: "POST /api.php HTTP/2.0", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/var/run/php/php8.0-fpm.sock:"

Version: 0.4 (REL_39) so it should be 0.4.1

The error is not helpful either.

Yes, you should upgrade to VEForAll 0.4.1 - I'm guessing that will fix the problem.

They should upgrade the version you get from the mediawiki downloader. If I download it from there for 1.39 I get 0.4. I have to take the version from github

I downloaded the 0.4.1.tar.gz, extracted it into VEForALL on 1.39.2 and got the following error:

Looking at includes/ApiParsoidUtilsOld.php and adding "use RequestContext;" at the top of includes/ApiParsoidUtils.php fixes the error

Can confirm, this seems to work. Without this edit, I can't even edit existing pages, let alone create new ones via PageForms.

Sorry about that! And thanks for finding a solution. I just checked in that line addition. I'm amazed that no one pointed this out until now... maybe most users still have not upgraded to 1.39.
