Topic on Extension talk:Lockdown

I just updated my wiki to 1.40 and downloaded the newest version of Lockdown in the process. I am getting an error:

Fatal error: Uncaught ExtensionDependencyError: Lockdown is not compatible with the current MediaWiki core (version 1.40.0), it requires: >= 1.41.0. in /home/<mywikidir>/includes/registration/ExtensionRegistry.php:438 Stack trace: #0 /home/<mywikidir>/includes/registration/ExtensionRegistry.php(282): ExtensionRegistry->readFromQueue(Array) #1 /home/<mywikidir>/includes/Setup.php(282): ExtensionRegistry->loadFromQueue() #2 /home/<mywikidir>/includes/WebStart.php(92): require_once('/home/xxx/w...') #3 /home/<mywikidir>/index.php(44): require('/home/xxx/w...') #4 {main} thrown in /home/<mywikidir>/includes/registration/ExtensionRegistry.php on line 438

If you are on MW 1.40 you cannot use master since it indeed requires MW 1.41+. You should use the version from the REL1_40 branch. The extension distributor should offer a download for MW 1.40

I use a script to do the updates, first pulling down the newest version of mediawiki and then doing git pulls on most extensions. Is there a way to pull things from this extension distributor by script? Tenbergen (talk) 14:22, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

Do git pull;git checkout REL1_40 in the extension's directory.

Thank you! Do all the extensions on gerrit follow that? Ie. would I be able to use that syntax to just do a pull for the current version and subversion of mediawiki that I am pulling?

More or less. A REL1_xx branch needs to be present, which I think is the case for all extensions on Gerrit. Otherwise, replace this with the appropriate tag, e.g., 2.3, etc.
