ResourceLoader module info type error for 0.mediawiki.skinning.content

[andre-paulo98]

Just installed following the steps on https://github.com/cmln/chameleon/blob/master/docs/installation.md
And after the part to add wfLoadSkin( 'chameleon' ); to the LocalSettings.php, I get an error: [XRzDfX8AAQEAACvnjcgAAABK] 2019-07-03 15:02:21: Fatal exception of type MWException

Here's the full stacktrace with $wgShowExceptionDetails = true; on LocalSettings.php

We got this issue with MediaWiki 1.33. Chameleon 1.7.1 works.

[andre-paulo98]

So in your case you changed on composer.local.json the version from ~2.0 to 1.7.1 ? @tosfos

[emesscee]

I have the same issue with MediaWiki 1.33.0. Not want to go back to Chameleon 1.7.1, and I went back to MW-1.32.2.

[s7eph4n]

I checked in a fix. Would be great if somebody could install the latest master and confirm that it actually works.

(I think this bug affects MW 1.33 specifically. MW 1.32 and 1.34 should be ok.)

[andre-paulo98]

Master seems to be working with 1.33

[mjskier]

It works for me too (as in "the main page renders instead of just giving me a fatal exception")

[andre-paulo98]

Seems to be fully working on my end @mjskier
You have the skin active?

[emesscee]

I just tested it with MW 1.33.0 on my server. It indeed works!

[s7eph4n]

Thanks for testing!
