Description

The browser tests are acting on User:Selenium_user. On a default VisualEditor installation, the User namespace does not have VisualEditor enabled.

The easiest would be to enable VisualEditor on user page I guess.

Version: unspecified
Severity: normal

Jeff, Željko that might be appealing to you :-]

I have just noticed that it is already assigned to Chris (_after_ adding him to cc).

Is this still true?

Yup the VisualEditor.php entry point has:

$wgVisualEditorNamespaces = $wgContentNamespaces;

Which does not include the User namespace. So the tests should probably only hit the content namespaces.

Change 118029 had a related patch set uploaded by Jforrester:
Enable VisualEditor by default in NS_USER as well as $wgContentNamespaces
