On multiple locations, ResourceLoader.php has a call for $e->logException() where $e is of type Exception.
The logException() function is *NOT* a method for Exception class. It is a method for MWException class. Whenever an exception happens, the user will get the following error message:
Call to undefined method Exception::logException() in /var/www/wiki/includes/resourceloader/ResourceLoader.php on line 835
All these references have to be fixed.
Version: 1.22.0
Severity: major
Indeed, the type hint is incorrect.
What kind of exception are you getting though that isn't an instance of MWException? What is the error message?
I got an exception from the lessc.inc.php when it tried to parse Bootstrap 3. The PHP less included in MW is apparently unable to parse Bootstrap 3 (can parse Boostrap 2.x though), for reasons I couldn't figure out yet.
Regardless, it led me to identify bug 55442.
As for the error parsing Bootstrap 3, see https://github.com/leafo/lessphp/issues/481.
As those errors are not of type MWException, fixing the type hint isn't going to do it. We should either abstract the less parsing in a try/catch and re-throw as MWException or generalise this code to not depend on MWException.
Adding Ori to CC.
Blocking 1.22 release. Like other exceptions, ResourceLoader should properly catch them all and output as comment and log it, as to not break load.php responses.

What was the exception?
The message is what I posted above (see Description). I can try to reproduce the bug and dig more, but I'm sure it is due to lessphp not being able to parse Bootstrap 3.

More details and possibly steps to reproduce would be helpful.
Maybe you can replace line 835 with
if ( !method_exists( $e, 'logException' ) ) debug_print_backtrace();

resourceloader: Rethrow LESS error and let makeModuleResponse handle it
Ori, I can't reproduce the bug. I did a git pull before trying to reproduce the bug (not so smart, huh?) and because I was using the HEAD revision of MW, lessphp and Bootstrap at the time, going back in time is cumbersome.
If you have any advice about reproducing the bug, please reach me directly by email (so as not to clutter this bug report).
