I can confirm that ending the username with _ will cause an exception. Looking for the root cause now.

Guess what, it was a regression that I had introduced in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/mediawiki/extensions/CheckUser/+/374851/ more than year ago!

Not seen in Logstash for over 30 days. Keeping open because I'm unable to verify it myself given the restricted input. Is this still reproducible?

Huji added a comment.EditedJun 25 2019, 12:49 AM

It is. I just created a log for you on fawiki :)

I haven't been able to find the time to resubmit 494638, which will eventually fix this.

PS: That was the right nudge at the right time, @Krinkle :) I submitted a new patchset.

The new patch does the job correctly.

Unfortunately, I cannot think of any way to create a unit test for this. Closing now because I just +2 the new patch.
