Structured Data interface does not work on IE11
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

@Nikki reports that the Structured Data on Commons user interface does not work on Internet Explorer 11 – clicking on the “structured data” tab does nothing. In the console, an error appears:

SCRIPT5007: Object.getPrototypeOf: 'this' ist kein Objekt [translation: 'this' is not an object]

I assume this is because, according to MDN,

In ES5, it will throw a TypeError exception if the obj parameter isn't an object. In ES2015, the parameter will be coerced to an Object.

And WikibaseMediaInfo contains code like this:

Object.getPrototypeOf( d[ key ] || '' ) === Object.prototype

which directly relies on Object.getPrototypeOf( '' ) being valid, even though apparently in ES5 it’s not.

I tested it and it's now possible to click the tab, but it still doesn't work properly. The text is a mess (the things which should be right-aligned are on top of the things on the left) and there are errors when trying to edit anything (nothing happens after selecting an item and the "add statement" button doesn't work). Should those be new tickets or should I just add the errors/screenshot here?

I'll put them both here for now.

Here's a screenshot of how sections on the structured data tab render:

The error I get when clicking "Add statement" or selecting an item is:

thanks for the additional test. I'll go ahead and but this back on the radar for the developer.

It looks like all JS errors in IE have now been resolved.
There's still display issues, but I've just submitted a patch that should also resolve those.
