@hashar Where did you spotted this exactly? Which were the steps you followed to encounter this error? Thanks.

MarcoAurelio moved this task from Untriaged to Apr 2019 / 1.33.wmf.25+ on the Wikimedia-production-error board.Sep 7 2018, 8:39 PM

The message comes from the Wikimedia log, I have just copy pasted it with out much investigation. Looking at it again there have been only 10 occurrences over the last 24 hours.

hashar updated the task description. (Show Details)Sep 7 2018, 10:11 PM

That comes from 3ac7f4c5200d0c1d53fd2aaece5bc56406b01eb6

SpecialGlobalGroupMembership::fetchUser( $username, $writing = true ); would cause the notice when $username is an empty string?

I went to https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:GlobalUserRights , clicked the button without filling a username and that triggers the notice :]

Unless limited to mwdebug or test wikis etc., this appears production. All noise there is actively harming our ability to detect regressions, and is clearly a sign of technical debt or application logic failure that needs to be addressed.

We have 100s of infrequent errors that together make it hard to detect problems. Infrequent errors are actually more harmful than frequent ones because the frequent ones you see immediately when starting to poll the logs and can exclude. It is the infrequent ones that show up only a few minutes after you begin polling and it is a full time job to exclude each one after you first see it. This needs to be fixed.
