Description

I'm with my framabot user-config. I can save change on website, but I can't edit Utilisateur:Framabot/categories.js (move later) with pywikibot, and other pages works :

>>> import pywikibot
>>> d = pywikibot.Page(pywikibot.Site('fr', 'wikipedia'), "Utilisateur:Framabot/categories.js")
>>> d.text = ''
>>> d.save()

Looks like you hit https://doc.wikimedia.org/mediawiki-core/master/php/classTitle.html#a9fdfdd6a672afcdfcbcc7e83e688a95f . I assume you're editing with user:Framabot? According to https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sp%C3%A9cial:Liste_des_droits_de_groupe every user is able to edit their own css/js. I would first try to do a manual edit on the api to see if you can reproduce it to rule out an upstream problem.

Using the api sandbox I can edit, see https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User%3AMultichill%2Fcommon.css&type=revision&diff=750774374&oldid=665737425. I used https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ApiSandbox#action=edit&format=json&title=User%3AMultichill%2Fcommon.css&text=%2F*+Geef+redirects+rare+kleurtjes+*%2F%0A.mw-redirect+++++++++%7B+color%3Aorange%3B+++++%7D%0A.mw-redirect%3Avisited+%7B+color%3Adarkorange%3B+%7D%0A+%0A%2F*+Beginnetjes+ook+een+ander+kleurtje++test+voor+T151163+*%2F%0Aa.stub+++++++++%7B+color%3ALimeGreen%3B+%7D+%0Aa.stub%3Avisited+%7B+color%3ADarkGreen%3B+%7D%0A&summary=Test+for+T151163&basetimestamp=2007-08-24T12%3A34%3A54.000Z&token=5095681dcc2696c7a0d488de1325e90c583349dd%2B%5C

You should try logging into your bot account and try this too. Make sure to tick the bot field

Could You double-confirm that You have been logged in as Framabot.

I was able to recreate issue, when I was logged in on bot account and tried to change my personal JS file.

Magul reassigned this task from Magul to Framawiki.Nov 21 2016, 7:31 PM

Magul subscribed.

Same shell for all these commands :

>>> import pywikibot
>>> d = pywikibot.Page(pywikibot.Site('fr', 'wikipedia'), "Utilisateur:Framabot/categories.js")
>>> d.text
u''
>>> d.exists()
False

And save this edit.
I will try with my main account and with an existing js page.

And it's ok if I edit an existing JS page with main account Framawiki...

>>> import pywikibot
>>> d = pywikibot.Page(pywikibot.Site('fr', 'wikipedia'), "Utilisateur:Framawiki/js/editTitre.js")
>>> d.text = 'hello'
>>> d.save('test')

do this

Another test with Framabot's user-config, to save text on an existing page.

>>> import pywikibot
>>> d = pywikibot.Page(pywikibot.Site('fr', 'wikipedia'), "Utilisateur:Framabot/test.js")
>>> d.exists()
True
>>> d.text
u'hello !'
>>> d.text = u'test'
>>> d.save(u'test !')

It's looks like bug only concern bot accounts, can you check with yours ? I'll try with API Sandbox.

API Sandbox do job...

>>> import pywikibot
>>> d = pywikibot.Page(pywikibot.Site('fr', 'wikipedia'), "Utilisateur:MagulBot/categories.js")
>>> d.exists()
False
>>> d.text = 'T151163'
>>> d.save()
Page [[Utilisateur:MagulBot/categories.js]] saved
...
>>> pywikibot.Site('fr', 'wikipedia').logged_in()
>>> pywikibot.Site('fr', 'wikipedia').user()

It looks that it works for my bot account (see: 1). Another question is how You bot is logged in into fr.wiki?

OAuth creds in user-config. I'll try with normal password...

Edit : with a "normal" userconfig (just username "Framabot" in it, no creds)

>>> import pywikibot
>>> pywikibot.Site('fr', 'wikipedia').user()
>>> d = pywikibot.Page(pywikibot.Site('fr', 'wikipedia'), "Utilisateur:Framabot/test.js")
>>> d
Page(Utilisateur:Framabot/test.js)
>>> d.text
u'test !'
>>> d.text = u'T151163'
>>> d.save('T151163')

It's works ! (sorry for spam)

It's not spam at all. If You will find any other bug don't hesitate to report. It looks that Your OAuth consumer doesn't have rights to edit custem JS/CSS (see: 1). I'm closing it.

.. Thank you !
Do you think that it can be fine from mediawiki to show a better error message ?

Or Pywikibot could do more. Pywikibot could check before editing if it has a certain right or list the rights it has when it runs into a rights problem.

Could You, please raport new issue (with clean comment history) for improve logging when bot is logged as OAuth (and maybe bot password)?
