Popups is not compatible with the current MediaWiki core (version 1.41.0), it requires: >= 1.42.0.

I am getting this Uncaught ExtensionDependencyError on a clean install of mediawiki using the official docker image for 1.41 (there is no 1.42 available yet). Steps followed:

  • Pull the latest docker stable image
  • Create a container from the latest image (1.41)
  • Create LocalSettings.php and verify dependencies for TextExtracts and PageImages are included and enabled
  • Turned off ReferencePreviewsBetaFeature (just in case, but tried with and without this set to false and no difference)
  • Comment out the extension and its settings, restart the wiki, verify it otherwise functions normally

Since the extension page says it's compatible with 1.37+, I would assume the error is misleading. Any suggestions?

I learned some more about how the dependency management worked and confirmed that 1.42 is required by the Popups extension. That version is not released yet. Is there a workaround, such as downloading a slightly older Popups version that works with 1.41?

I had it working on MW1.35, but upgraded to MW1.39. The master branch, and REL1_39 branch, of this extension caused 500 errors because they both require MW1.42.

I checked out the REL1_37 branch and it all worked again :-)

For MW1.41 it's probably something similar - just work your way down the branches till one works.
