Impact

Unable to export translatable pages or aggregate groups (not sure if both are affected) for offline translation if PHP 7.2 is used (it's becoming the default in near future).

Notes

From Logstash:

  • Since at least 1.34.0-wmf.8 (25 days ago)
  • From mediawiki.org, wikidata.org, meta.wikimedia.org, commons.wikimedia.org.
  • Does not affect HHVM, only the PHP 7.2 deployments emit the warning.

Manually adding a cookie named PHP_ENGINE with value php7 should work.

The fix should be simple, just check if the group returns null for FFS before comparing the classes.
