Description

The recent refactoring broke some unit tests of Translate extension.

twn:/www/dev.translatewiki.net/w/extensions/Translate/tests (master)$ make
php ../../../tests/phpunit/phpunit.php .
PHPUnit 3.6.10 by Sebastian Bergmann.

Configuration read from /www/dev.translatewiki.net/w/tests/phpunit/suite.xml

............................................................... 63 / 140 ( 45%)

Fatal error: Call to undefined method Title::getType() in /www/dev.translatewiki.net/w/includes/job/JobQueueGroup.php on line 90
make: *** [default] Error 255

Marking as blocker because this affects Translate extension development because it is integrated to Jenkins in Gerrit. It also prevents us to update translatewiki.net production due to fear it will break badly.

Apparently it is trying to cast an object to array with catastrophic results.

Appears to be related to gerrit 13194 which does not have any BC considerations. Schema change is *required* after this patch set, even though, IIRC, new features with schema changes should not break things in core (the recent ContentHandler merge also *required* a schema change).

Adding Aaron, Asher, Daniel, Terry and Tim in CC because of their involvement in gerrit 13194, and Rob Lanphier from a schema change policy perspective.

FYI: ContentHandler does not require a schema change, it has a compat mode (set $wgContentHandlerUseDB = false). This is what is being deployed on the WMF cluster. However, if you run update.php, it will change the schema (see bug 40854).

That backtrace seems useless, try running them with https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/28387/ to get a better one.

Daniel, wgContentHandlerUseDB is set to false by default of course so that updaters don't immediately have a broken wiki, right?

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/28387/ to get a better one.

The trace is the same code path according to nikerabbit. Chad and I were confused be this but it makes sense technically:
"If an object is converted to an array, the result is an array whose elements are the object's properties. The keys are the member variable names, with a few notable exceptions: integer properties are unaccessible; private variables have the class name prepended to the variable name; protected variables have a '*' prepended to the variable name."

...thus it does NOT make an array with just that object (which PHP does do for primitives but not objects). This pattern is used in a lot of code so I well have to grep through it all to audit it later.

The fix for the job code is in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/28450.

Merged. Also the other array type casting in includes/ looks OK.
