Gene Wiki article creator broken

[andrewsu]

A user requested creation of a gene wiki page for FCHO1 (Entrez Gene 23149). The Gene Wiki BioGPS plugin goes to http://genewiki.sulab.org/map/wiki/23149, which then redirects to http://genewiki.sulab.org/map/wiki/23149/genewiki.wiki.views.article_create which returns 404.

If @julialturner is still around it would be great if you can take a look and see if it's something simple. If we don't hear back in a couple days, we should just take this one on ourselves...

[andrewsu]

On fix, someone should also create the FCHO1 page and/or follow up with this user https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AProteinBoxBot%2FPhase_3&type=revision&diff=780219122&oldid=653967701

[julialturner]

@andrewsu I can create the page with my local copy of code and will see if there is an easy fix for the page creation.

[julialturner]

It seems this is something to do with the server configuration. Did it ever work after everything was moved over?

[andrewsu]

Thanks @julialturner -- not sure if we tested the article creation feature after migration. Just want to confirm as we try to debug server-side, is the redirect to http://genewiki.sulab.org/map/wiki/23149/genewiki.wiki.views.article_create correct? Or should that be mapping to another URL?

[julialturner]

@andrewsu the redirect should be http://genewiki.sulab.org/wiki/article/create/23149/

[goodb]

@julialturner thanks for chiming in. Could you confirm that this line is correct and matches your local situation? (line 29 in mapping/views.py ) . I believe thats the line that starts the redirect problem.
https://github.com/SuLab/GeneWikiCentral/blob/master/genewiki/genewiki/mapping/views.py#L29

Should go to http://genewiki.sulab.org/wiki/article/create/23149/ but instead goes to
http://genewiki.sulab.org/map/wiki/23149/genewiki.wiki.views.article_create

Seems like it needs some indication to go up to the root context to find the URL pattern with name = article_create ? (here https://github.com/SuLab/GeneWikiCentral/blob/master/genewiki/genewiki/wiki/urls.py ) ??

[julialturner]

@goodb yes my line 29 in mapping/views.py is the same

Okay thanks @julialturner . @putmantime is looking into it. Most likely something about the django/nginx server configuration I guess.

[goodb]

Update. multiple problems actually. # 1 python not importing gene wiki module. Fixed by @putmantime . # 2 Looks like cross-origin request problem: Safari: "Refused to display 'http://genewiki.sulab.org/wiki/article/create/23150/' in a frame because it set 'X-Frame-Options' to 'SAMEORIGIN'. # 3 its not actually reading any password file so once we get it to execute will fail to make the wikidata write. Hopefully will cure these tomorrow...

[goodb]

@putmantime For the X-frame-options error I think this is a result of the latest django release being made 'safer' by default. See https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/ref/clickjacking/#setting-x-frame-options-for-all-responses . Its defaulting to SAMEORIGIN, blocking all attempts to render the content in an iframe like biogps. Looks like it needs the @xframe_options_exempt decorator added to the views that we want to be able to show in iframe. (Tried fixing this at nginx conf level, but needs django-specific fix)

[putmantime]

@goodb The decorator fixed it and the prompt to create a new article is now rendering in GPS. I am now trying to fix the password issue. Is there a different set of credentials for writing to wikipedia?

[putmantime]

Update. Article creator is now functional.
Fixes implemented:

1. Python import of article_create view into mapping view.
   -less than ideal Python path append to allow import
   -restructuring of project for proper python path imports would be optimal
2. Cross origin request error for rendering in BioGPS;
   -added '@xframe_options_exempt' decorator to article create view
3. password import for PBB:
   -created a pbb_secret.py file with password and user name
   • imported into /wiki/views.py and wiki/textutils.py for wikipedia article and interwikilink creation.
4. created .gitignore file
   -added django secret key to pbb_secret.py and imported into django settings.py
   -added pbb_secret.py path to .gitignore

[goodb]

plugin functional once more. closing.
