Description

I was trying to add some links to the header of Talk:Flow on ee-flow labs instance, and the wiki text kept getting garbled -- letters would appear in the wrong place, links would get lost. You can see this if you click the pencil to edit it (Don't save, we need that text!).

I pasted similar text into a post and that appeared garbled, see http://ee-flow.wmflabs.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Spage&workflow=0508e9b63c8f34dffb6efa163e68c4ac. It has the wiki text

report bug in [https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/enter_bug.cgi? MediaWiki's Bugzilla] if you can

On edit this turns into

report bug in [" test wiki for the [[mw:Flow_Portal|Flow pro MediaWiki's Bugzilla]

This is not only garbling text, it's also introducing random bits of text that resembles my other recent edits. Maybe a caching issue?

The WMF core features team tracks this bug on Mingle card https://mingle.corp.wikimedia.org/projects/flow/cards/444, but people from the community are welcome to contribute here and in Gerrit.

Confirmed:

Input: [http://en.wikipedia.org hello]

When attempting to re-edit this same input: [his is a "labs" test wi hello]

Yowza.

Reproducible (see below) using ParsoidUtils, so I think it's safe to say that this is a problem either with Parsoid or the way we're calling it.

At first blush, it looks like Parsoid is retrieving old revisions and mangling their text with whatever it's asked to produce when it's given HTML and asked to turn it into wikitext.

Minimal test case on my local box:

$wikitext = '[http://en.wikipedia.org/ An external link]';

print $html = Flow\ParsoidUtils::convert( 'wikitext', 'html', $wikitext )

<a rel="mw:ExtLink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/" data-parsoid="{"targetOff":26,"contentOffsets":[26,42],"a":{"href":"http://en.wikipedia.org/"},"sa":{"href":"his is Andrew's test wik"},"dsr":[0,57,26,1]}">An external link</a>

print Flow\ParsoidUtils::convert( 'html', 'wikitext', $html )

[his is Andrew's test wik An external link]

And on ee-flow:

$wikitext = '[http://en.wikipedia.org/ An external link]';

print Flow\ParsoidUtils::convert( 'wikitext', 'html', $wikitext )

<a rel="mw:ExtLink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/" data-parsoid='{"targetOff":26,"contentOffsets":[26,42],"a":{"href":"http://en.wikipedia.org/"},"sa":{"href":"his is a \"labs\" test wik"},"dsr":[0,318,26,1]}'>An external link</a>

print $html = Flow\ParsoidUtils::convert( 'wikitext', 'html', $wikitext )

print Flow\ParsoidUtils::convert( 'html', 'wikitext', $html )

[his is a "labs" test wik An external link]

Here's the debug log from that, if it helps:

I suspect that something in the way you process the HTML modifies the data-parsoid value. Your HTML definitely differs from what I get when converting '[http://en.wikipedia.org/ An external link]' at http://parsoid-lb.eqiad.wikimedia.org/_wikitext/.

This is reproducible against the eqiad lb only by additionally passing a title url.

I personally confirmed that this is an issue on ee-flow.wmflabs.org (twice, cf. comment 2). I don't know if this is an issue in Parsoid or in Flow specifically, but it's definitely confirmed as an issue. :-)

Aha! I think I know what is going on. Instead of the passed-in wikitext the page's wikitext is used for the href source and dsr calculations.

Should be an easy fix in the web API.
