This was caused by 9bec479fb4747fee3c7d25d7025e8be01c1e6be3 and should be fixed with 0805859cde89195fd0b7800b0555f6f877ff9731. That patch is only in 1.28.0-wmf.8 (not wmf.7). I thought it is not an issue in practice, so I didn't backport it – I guess it should be, after all. There's a SWAT deployment window in a few minutes, someone should probably do that (I can't at the moment).

REOPENED

I understand that the patch has been backported to wmf-7. Obviously that worked since we get fresh line numbers.

Anotzher patch will be required in wmf-8, too.

@Ineuw I can't reproduce the error on en.wikisource.org.

What browser/OS version are you using?

What do the following commands evaluate to when you're on the edit page?

  • mw.loader.getVersion('mediawiki.action.edit');
  • mw.loader.store.getVary();
  • navigator.userAgent;
  • var state = mw.loader.getModuleNames().sort().reduce(function(obj, m){ var s = mw.loader.getState(m); if(s != 'registered')obj[m] = s; return obj; },{}); JSON.stringify(state,0,2);

Let's be clear. My yesterday's comment, reflected the state of the editor then. Now, it seems OK. It must have been patched between now @ 21:10 UTC and 2016-06-30 6:00 UTC.

Krinkle claimed this task.

@Ineuw Thanks for the info. I'll go ahead and close this task then :)

Ineuw added a comment.Jul 1 2016, 9:21 PM

Thanks for forcing me to learn/use the developer's tools. I hope the info was helpful. For me it's a 1000% improvement over my ignorance from when I posted the first bug report. The question is, were the identical issues at the German Wikisource, which resolved their issues?

I'm not familiar with the issues German Wikisource had, but the issue reported in this task (Exception "$form.serializeObject is undefined" when editing a page) was caused by a general bug in the MediaWiki software, it affected all Wikimedia wikis. It was not specific to Wikisource or a specific language.

The exception caused "Edit Stash" to fail (EditStash a feature to reduce the time it takes to save a page). The actual saving of edits worked fine. Although in some circumstances the error caused some custom toolbar buttons to be missing for some users.
