ManiphestUnhandled Exception ("Exception")
Topic on Project:Support desk
Cannot reproduce. Note that a project called "MediaWiki-extensions-UpdateMediaWiki" does not exist - where did you find that link and what makes you think that this project should exist in Phabricator? What is the complete, full error message? Are you logged into Phabricator?
Note that Phabricator issues are best to bring up and discuss on Talk:Phabricator/Help.
i'm sorry, i'm not sure where i found the link. I might have linked from:
(cancel the download when the page loads, then view the page)
which i was linked to from:
What makes me think what project should exist in Phabricator? UpdateMediaWiki? I did not create it, i was linked to it.
Yes, the link forces me to log in before i get the error. I login with MediaWiki, NOT as Developer.
thx
No project should exist in Phabricator. Except for when the maintainer of UpdateMediaWiki asked for one and will actually take a look at tasks. No need to create random places where bug reporters think that maintainers would take a look while maintainers don't even know about those random places.
And I still don't get any exception when clicking your link :-/
"No need to create random places"
how do you create random places?
If that was a serious question then I don't understand it and I'd kindly ask you to rephrase. Thanks.
You said i created a place. I clarified that i did not create a place, i was linked to it. Then you repeated that i created a place. If i misunderstand your meaning, then I'd kindly ask you to rephrase.
Ah, thanks. Could you elaborate where/how exactly on Special:ExtensionDistributor to see such a broken link?
It's linked from the very bottom of the infobox in Extension:UpdateMediaWiki.
Andre, I see an Unhandled Exception message Edge transactions must have destination PHIDs as in edge lists (found key "MediaWiki-extensions-UpdateMediaWiki" on transaction of type "41"). on phab.wmflabs.org when I go ahead and try to create the task with the unknown project. Phabricator really should handle this more gracefully, as it is obviously confusing to unfamiliar users.
More specifically, perhaps we need to keep a list of extensions without (or maybe with?) Phabricator projects, and offer a bug-reporting link for the `MediaWiki-extensions-Other` project for extensions without a specific project.
Ah, so this happens after clicking the create button. Wasn't clear to me. Worth a bug report, I'd say.
Would you like to file one? I haven't always had positive experiences on secure.phabricator.com.
i'll leave this bug report to someone more knowledgeable than me.
Sorry, that was in reply to Malyacko (Andre). I should have clicked Reply on the relevant post.
