In VisualEditor.php, there is something like:
$wgVisualEditorResourceTemplate = array( 'localBasePath' => __DIR__, 'remoteExtPath' => 'VisualEditor', ); $wgResourceModules += array( 'jquery.visibleText' => $wgVisualEditorResourceTemplate + array( 'scripts' => array( 'lib/ve/lib/jquery/jquery.visibleText.js', ), 'targets' => array( 'desktop', 'mobile' ), ),
Since localBasePath/remoteExtPath are needed by all file modules, this shortens the code. But in extension.json:
[km@km-tp VisualEditor]$ grep "localBasePath" extension.json | wc -l 36 [km@km-tp VisualEditor]$ grep "remoteExtPath" extension.json | wc -l 36
We're just duplicating the same thing over again and making the file even longer than it needs to be.
