At the onset we tried to add the userGroups to the instrument using

userGroups: mw.user.getGroups()

however

mw.user.getGroups()

returns a promise for backwards compatibility reasons – it used to call an make an XHR to the action API – but that promise is resolved with

mw.config.get( 'wgUserGroups' );

The current issue we are facing in the local environment is that

mw.config.get( 'wgUserGroups' );

is currently returning an empty array.

Sorry if this is a silly question but does the account you're testing with definitely have some user groups? I think by default a new account doesn't have any.

Greetings, @Samwalton9 I am a member of the Administrator and Users groups, I'm wondering if those groups are not considered by the routine.
