Parsoid lacks support for mustRender in the non-extension DataAccesses
Closed, DeclinedPublic
Actions

Description

For any file type where the handler returns true from mustRender(), such as SVG, PDF, DjVu, etc., the renderer is required to not attempt to link directly to the file in an <img/> tag. For example, for wikitext input [[File:Cross.svg]], the MW output is

<a href="/wiki/File:Cross.svg" class="image"><img alt="Cross.svg" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8b/Cross.svg/32px-Cross.svg.png" width="32" height="32" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8b/Cross.svg/48px-Cross.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8b/Cross.svg/64px-Cross.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="32" data-file-height="32" /></a>

whereas Parsoid attempts client-side scaling regardless of the file type:

...<img resource="./File:Cross.svg" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8b/Cross.svg" data-file-width="32" data-file-height="32" data-file-type="drawing" height="32" width="32" data-parsoid='...'/>

This support is now there in the Parsoid Batching API. If all testing goes well, that will be enabled in production next week. So, the only thing left here is support in the non-batching API. It is unclear how easy it is to do it there, and if the batching API becomes the default, it is low priority to do this for the non-batching API use case.

Since the port, this is now implemented in the extension/ DataAccess but not the others. So, basically the same state as pre-port.

Previous comments explain that the original gaps in functionality have been long since addressed.

As for the last remaining bit, we don't use the non-extension DataAccess in production and it is an edge case usage for developer testing and there is no reason to spend cycles on this use case right now.
