DP Code - PHP 8.3 TEST upgrade validation

From DPWiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

This page is tracking testing done on Ubuntu 24.04 running PHP 8.3 prior to the PROD upgrade on 2024-03-15. The main Test server is running this code: https://www.pgdp.org

This is validation testing to the work done 6 months ago in DP Code - PHP 8.3 upgrade testing.

It would be good to validate the DProofreaders code (in /c/ and /noncvs/) as well a cursory pass on the forums (/phpBB3/) and wiki (/w/ which is also /wiki/). While we have automated tests for the DProofreader code we know it does not give complete coverage. And while the versions of the phpBB and MediaWiki software in theory support PHP 8.3 it would be good to validate core functionality as well.

How to help

  1. Access the Test server. If you do not have an account, feel free to create a new one.
  2. Try things! The list below has some things we know we need coverage on, but there are more that aren't listed.
  3. If you encounter problems let us know in #pgdpdev (if you are a member of that channel) or add a note to this page.
  4. Update this page with what you've tested (add your name to one of the existing entries or add a new entry if you tested something that wasn't listed).

Remember:

  • This is a test system and you can't "mess anything up" but it's also a shared system so play nice.
  • Because it's a test system the data is ... interesting and may not be fully consistent. That's not a bug :)
  • We do not need testing on different browsers / devices so don't bother.

What to look for

Beyond "does it work", be on the watch for any notices, warnings, deprecation errors, or similar messages. Error reporting is cranked up to maximum to catch these. All of these errors should be logged server-side, so encountering them at all is the important part. When you identify something, please add a note here.

Background Jobs

-- srjfoo 02:39, 15 March 2025 (EDT) -- the Job Log shows all of these running successfully except PruneJobLogs (which isn't listed); I have not manually run any of them.

  • AutoModify
  • ArchiveProjects
  • CleanUploadsTrash
  • ExtendSiteTallyGoals
  • ImportPGCatalog
  • NotifyOldPP
  • PruneJobLogs
  • RecordProjectStateCounts
  • RecordUserCounts
  • SendSmoothreadingNotifications
  • TakeTallySnapshots
  • ToggleSpecialDayQueues

Misc

  • Manage Image Sources
  • Character Suites, manage
  • Authors code (UGH)
Checks included editing and adding authors and biographies.
-- srjfoo 03:27, 15 March 2025 (EDT) Since the Authors/Bio code will be ripped out shortly after the upgrade, probably don't need to worry about this one.

ppwb

The ppwb includes PHP code, python code, and golang code. We should confirm that all of the tools in the ppwb continue to work. We don't need to test all options, but at least a run through of each is good.

  • pptext
  • pphtml
  • ppsmq
  • ppcomp

Forums

We do not make many changes to the phpBB code and therefore do not need an extensive test pass. This section is both a sanity check and focuses on areas that are unique to how we use / integrate phpBB into the DP code.
