Why were getProperty() and setProperty() hard-deprecated when there are still callers in production-deployed extensions that can easily be found with codesearch?

Change 732272 had a related patch set uploaded (by Lucas Werkmeister (WMDE); author: Lucas Werkmeister (WMDE)):

[mediawiki/extensions/Wikibase@master] Update deprecated calls in ShortDescHandler

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/732272

Okay, maybe not “easily”, given that OutputPage has similar methods that weren’t renamed, and in the codesearch context it’s not immediately obvious if an $out variable is a ParserOutput or an OutputPage.

That has been deprecated as part of T287216: ParserOutput should implement ContentMetadataCollector specially by https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/core/+/727402 . A code search has definitely been done and the patch has a bunch of Depends-On.

There was a patch for Wikibase https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/extensions/Wikibase/+/727403 and I guess after that another change introduced ParserOutput:getProperty before the hard deprecation patch got merged in core? Though CI should have caught when attempting to merge the mediawiki/core patch. So I don't quite know :-\

Okay, maybe not “easily”, given that OutputPage has similar methods that weren’t renamed, and in the codesearch context it’s not immediately obvious if an $out variable is a ParserOutput or an OutputPage.

This. It's quite hard to tell the difference between OutputPage and ParserOutput and apparently I missed a few. My apologies!

I'll note that one motivation for the change is to more clearly distinguish page properties (which are db-backed) from the similar OutputPage properties.

Yeah, I didn’t realize the two classes were so confusingly similar, sorry for being a bit too harsh there. (I did a quick git grep and just assumed most of them would be other ParserOutput calls, since they were on variables like $out.)

Change 732354 had a related patch set uploaded (by C. Scott Ananian; author: C. Scott Ananian):

[mediawiki/extensions/Wikibase@master] Rename usages of deprecated ParserOutput::{get,set}Property() (take 2)

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/732354

(Also, just sayin': this would have been caught by CI if ShortDescHandler::doHandle() were covered by any tests...)

[mediawiki/extensions/Wikibase@master] Rename ParserOutput and OutputPage variables to disambiguate

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/732355

It is covered by tests, the tests just happen to mock the parser output instead of using the real implementation.
