= Staging remediation log: Page Forms fatal after SMW 5.1.0 upgrade =<br />
''Date: 2026-06-10''<br />
<br />
''Environment: staging only (<code>dev.weaponofmusicaldefense.com</code>)''<br />
<br />
== Summary ==<br />
After upgrading Semantic MediaWiki (SMW) on staging to 5.1.0, <code>Special:FormEdit/Web_citation</code> began failing with HTTP 500 and a fatal exception.<br />
The failure was due to Page Forms calling SMW legacy class aliases removed in SMW 5.<br />
A targeted compatibility patch was applied in staging, and the endpoint now renders successfully (HTTP 200).<br />
<br />
== Problem observed ==<br />
* Failing URL:<br />
** <code>https://dev.weaponofmusicaldefense.com/thelibrary/Special:FormEdit/Web_citation</code><br />
* Symptom:<br />
** Fatal exception / HTTP 500 on staging.<br />
* Root error identified:<br />
** <code>Class "SMWDIProperty" not found</code><br />
<br />
== Root cause ==<br />
SMW 5 removed long-deprecated global class aliases (including <code>SMWDIProperty</code> and related legacy names).<br />
The installed Page Forms branch still used legacy class names in multiple files, causing runtime failures in FormEdit-related code paths.<br />
<br />
== Changes applied ==<br />
=== 1) Page Forms: namespaced SMW class updates ===<br />
Updated Page Forms calls from legacy aliases to namespaced SMW classes in:<br />
* <code>mw_data_staging/extensions/PageForms/includes/PF_TemplateField.php</code><br />
* <code>mw_data_staging/extensions/PageForms/includes/PF_ValuesUtils.php</code><br />
* <code>mw_data_staging/extensions/PageForms/specials/PF_CreateTemplate.php</code><br />
<br />
Representative edits:<br />
* <code>SMWDIProperty::newFromUserLabel(...)</code> → <code>\SMW\DIProperty::newFromUserLabel(...)</code><br />
* <code>SMWDIWikiPage::newFromTitle(...)</code> → <code>\SMW\DIWikiPage::newFromTitle(...)</code><br />
* <code>new SMWRequestOptions()</code> → <code>new \SMW\RequestOptions()</code><br />
* <code>new SMWConceptDescription(...)</code> → <code>new \SMW\Query\Language\ConceptDescription(...)</code><br />
* <code>new SMWPrintRequest(...)</code> → <code>new \SMW\Query\PrintRequest(...)</code><br />
<br />
=== 2) Page Forms: safe adjustment for DataValueFactory method availability ===<br />
In <code>PF_TemplateField.php</code>, the label-format code path previously called <code>SMWDataValueFactory::findTypeID(...)</code>.<br />
That method is not available in the installed SMW runtime.<br />
The staging patch now uses <code>$this->mPropertyType</code> directly as the type ID before calling:<br />
* <code>\SMW\DataValueFactory::newTypeIDValue(...)</code><br />
<br />
=== 3) Debug exposure cleanup ===<br />
After validation, staging exception-detail output was disabled again:<br />
* <code>mw_data_staging/LocalSettings.php</code><br />
* Confirmed value:<br />
** <code>$wgShowExceptionDetails = false;</code><br />
<br />
== Validation performed ==<br />
=== Endpoint check ===<br />
* Requested:<br />
** <code>https://dev.weaponofmusicaldefense.com/thelibrary/Special:FormEdit/Web_citation</code><br />
* Result:<br />
** <code>HTTP 200</code><br />
** Response contains <code>Create Web citation</code> heading/title<br />
** No fatal exception text in response<br />
<br />
=== Log check ===<br />
* Searched staging container logs for:<br />
** <code>SMWDIProperty</code><br />
** <code>Call to undefined method</code><br />
** <code>Fatal exception</code> / <code>PHP Fatal</code><br />
* Result:<br />
** No new fatal matches after patch/validation requests<br />
<br />
== Current status ==<br />
* Staging FormEdit path is restored for <code>Web_citation</code>.<br />
* Staging remains on:<br />
** MediaWiki 1.41.1<br />
** Semantic MediaWiki 5.1.0<br />
* This removes the immediate blocker introduced by the SMW upgrade and clears the path for subsequent staged core/runtime upgrade work.<br />
<br />
== Notes ==<br />
* Changes were intentionally limited to staging files under <code>mw_data_staging</code>.<br />
* No production routing/content changes were made in this remediation.</div>
