Testing filters against individual changes always fails to match the filter
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

On Persian Wikipedia, if we go to abuse filter log[1] and then click on "examine" next to any of them, and then load the same filter ID, and finally click on "Test filter" button, no matter what the conditions are, it always returns a "The filter did not match this change" response.

Even for a very simple condition like 2>1 the test always fails to match.[2]

Although the "Test a filter against previous edits"[3] still works fine, but still this bug has made testing and development of filters hard and confusing.

I am not sure if I understand the bug correctly, but it is *not* specific to Persian Wikipedia. Try test Wikipedia for example:

https://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:AbuseFilter/examine/log/6093

It seems like no matter what criteria you use, the filter never matches the edit.
