The mediawiki-extensions-hhvm job (which is triggered by multiple repositories) has been broken because the SpamBlacklist extension points by default to meta.wikimedia.org which was unreachable (T89052). The extension has a default configuration:
extension.json
"config": { "BlacklistSettings": { "value": { "spam": { "files": [ "https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Spam_blacklist&action=raw&sb_ver=1" ] } }, "merge_strategy": "array_plus_2d" }, "LogSpamBlacklistHits": { "value": false } },
In a test context, the SpamBlacklist extension would want to set $wgBlacklistSettings = array();. We once wanted to find a way to provide test specific settings (via T89096) but never found a good solution. The status quo is to have the extension to provide sane default settings.
Wikimedia production has:
wmf-config/CommonSettings.php
if ( $wmgUseSpamBlacklist ) { wfLoadExtension( 'SpamBlacklist' ); $wgBlacklistSettings = [ 'email' => [ 'files' => [ 'https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Email_blacklist&action=raw&sb_ver=1' ], ], 'spam' => [ 'files' => [ 'https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Spam_blacklist&action=raw&sb_ver=1' ], ], ]; $wgLogSpamBlacklistHits = true; }
Tentatively we can make the SpamBlacklist extension to stop providing a default, but we would need to update documentation so that people installing the extension add it back (or their own).
