Phabricator/Code/pl

W tym dokumencie opisano proces rozbudowy instancji Phabricatora Wikimedii. Phabricator jest napisany w PHP, podobnie jak MediaWiki, co powinno pomóc w rozpoczęciu rozwoju. W tym dokumencie najpierw przyjrzymy się, jak Wikimedia korzysta z Phabricatora i czego można się spodziewać podczas programowania. Następnie istnieje kilka uwag na temat tego, jak rozpocząć rzeczywisty rozwój.



Phabricator w Wikimedii
Wikimedia używa instancji Phabricatora z minimalnymi zmianami z upstream. Powodem tego jest wysokie tempo rozwoju deweloperów - utrzymywanie lokalnych łat jest uciążliwe. Wyjątkami są rozszerzenia, które znajdują się w oddzielnym katalogu i dlatego nie wymagają regularnych scaleń. Any other changes thus have to pass through upstream. This sounds like a major obstacle, but in practice, the upstream maintainers are very prompt in responding to suggestions.

Wikimedia Phabricator bug workflow
It is helpful to understand the life cycle of a bug before taking on one of the tasks. There are two projects: #phabricator for WMF-specific bugs and #phabricator-upstream for general Phabricator/Phorge issues. Software bugs and enhancement requests will typically fall in this second category.

The Phabricator-upstream workboard shows the process that tasks go through before being created upstream:

Stalled tasks can also be found here.
 * Backlog: this is where new tasks land by default.
 * Ready to go: tasks which could potentially go into the upstream bug tracker. When doing so, you must follow the guidelines for bug reports and the guidelines for feature requests.
 * Upstreamed: Tasks which have been reported upstream. For some tasks this might refer to the old upstream (secure.phabricator.com until 2021), for some tasks this might refer to the current upstream (we.phorge.it).
 * Solved upstream
 * Feedback from Upstream

Once a task has been upstreamed, upstream developers respond with their assessment, and suggestions for how the feature should be implemented. '' At this point a developer can start with the implementation. ''

In some cases, the upstream developers will decide a feature does not fit into their plans. In this case, the task in Wikimedia Phabricator is moved from the #phabricator-upstream project to the #phabricator project, and ends up back into the discussion stage: is this feature important enough to maintain local patches? Once this has been decided, one can start with the implementation.

To prevent disappointment, please do not start with the implementation until it's clear either upstream or the WMF maintainers will accept your patch.



Zmiany lokalne
As mentioned in the previous section, we try to keep local patches to a minimum. There are limited resources available to maintain patches, and to merge them with changes from upstream. Any local patches therefore have to be discussed within the #phabricator project. It's significantly less work to maintain a phabricator extension, as long as care is taken in avoiding the use of particularly new / unstable APIs from phabricator's core. Although extensions don't require merging and potential code conflicts, they do require testing each time we pull in upstream changes. Phorge does not have any frozen APIs which are deemed safe to depend on. The current code of the Wikimedia Phabricator instance itself:
 * https://gitlab.wikimedia.org/repos/phabricator/phabricator
 * https://gitlab.wikimedia.org/repos/phabricator/arcanist

The current locally-maintained extensions are:


 * Several customizations in one code repository, such as the MediaWiki OAuth extension (not upstreamed; see the Differential revisions and commits at https://secure.phabricator.com/T5096), Security related code, the MediaWiki Userpage field on Phabricator user pages, etc.
 * Antivandalism, still in Gerrit and to be moved to GitLab.

Site configuration
Most of the configuration is set through the web interface. Defaults (shared between https://phabricator.wikimedia.org and e.g. https://phab.wmflabs.org) are set using either the puppet maniphest or the Scap template (see T239355).



Konfiguracja
See Phabricator/Local Dev Environment.

Another way to get set up is by using MediaWiki-Vagrant using the 'phabricator' role. Follow the steps on MediaWiki-Vagrant to install MediaWiki-Vagrant, then enable the phabricator role using

http://phabricator.local.wmftest.net:8080/
 * Access the Phabricator instance at URL:
 * The Phabricator install is located in `/srv/phabricator/` (?) on the VM.

Using a Cloud VPS VM
If you know how to spin up a VM on Cloud VPS, and have the rights to do so, you can create an instance with the `phabricator::labs` role. This should give you a basic setup with the same configuration as https://phab.wmflabs.org.

Migration code from Bugzilla, RT, Mingle, Trello to Phabricator
The scripts that Wikimedia used for migrating its Bugzilla and RT data to Phabricator are available. Note that the migration code is not bug-free and that it was only written and used for the specific configurations of Wikimedia's tools. Also note other migration scripts, e.g. the GStreamer project used a phill script by Emanuele Aina to import their data from Bugzilla into Phabricator in 2015.

Data was migrated from Mingle to Phabricator via a script available in P129.

The scripts to migrate data from Trello to Phabricator are available. See T821 for more information.
