@hashar why is the test failing. Looking at the history no patches since December 23 or 24 were merged that would caused the test to break. Maybe it is because of that problem we had starting December 24 when qunit tests broke but the patches that were merged they merged ok. But now when you do recheck they error out with the error above as in the description above. How can we fix this.

CCing MediaWiki reviewers and DonationInterface authors

The DonationInterface tests fail due to a change made to MediaWiki 4555d1b482816730b25e6956444ca6a3155dd2cd https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/253651/

    RequestContext: Load the request object for getRequest on first call
    
    Instead of relying on the global $wgRequest, which probably isn't initialized
    so far, create the request object when RequestContext::getRequest() is called
    the first time.

Though there is an unrelated failure, I have confirmed that git revert 4555d1b482816730b25e6956444ca6a3155dd2cd on core let the DonationInterface / ContributionTracking changes to pass.

So either the MediaWiki change has an issue or DonationInterface/ContributionTracking needs to be fixed/adjusted. Most probably the later.

The MediaWiki patch caused an issue in MassMessages and a revert was proposed with https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/263207/ (now abandoned).

The fix for MassMessage 80d4862660e72d933de5d1aa58c6028d499e994a / https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/263209/

-                       new RequestContext
+                       RequestContext::getMain()

No such thing in DonationInterfaces though :/

Just a quick look: I think the problematic line in the test of DonationInterface itself is:
$this->setMwGlobals( 'wgRequest', new FauxRequest( $init, false ) );
https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-DonationInterface/blob/f4fb166c53c1b4d201a498e1d4682dcd87f61e49/tests/Adapter/GatewayAdapterTest.php#L191

The better way of doing this, would be to stub the method, that uses the global (I suspect ContextSource:.getRequest()), instead of stubbing the global itself. This would be more robust against changes inside of a specific function, that really needs to be stubbed (like we see now, RequestContext::getRequest() doesn't rely on the global anymore).

I haven't found the usage of RequestContext::getRequest() after some minutes of research and doesn't have the time (now) to investigate, maybe someone else want to take a look, otherwise I'll to it later :)

Btw.: This shouldn't impact production behavior, because the global is set to the default value of the "main" RequestContext instance while MediaWiki is initializing. This looks simply like a problem inside the test case (at far as DonationInterface doesn't do something scary with the wgRequest global in the functions code itself :/).

Just as a reference: The usage of Webrequest object, which is used to test functionality in the test case, is in the constructor of the GatewayAdapter:
https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-DonationInterface/blob/bd82afcff56ca27be66c9c6185edfe5130c0eced/gateway_common/gateway.adapter.php#L400

used in this code block of session_resetOnSwitch():
https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-DonationInterface/blob/bd82afcff56ca27be66c9c6185edfe5130c0eced/gateway_common/gateway.adapter.php#L3230-L3250

I don't know, if this is the correct usage, and don't know if my uploaded change fixes it, will work on this later.
