Since the upgrade to MediaWiki 1.22 jobs can only be executed with the maintenance script runJobs.php. Jobs are still being added to the database table "jobs", but although $wgJobRunRate is set to "1", no jobs are executed during normal page requests.
The jobs_attempts field in the DB is 0, meaning MediaWiki did not try a single time to execute them and they also are not executed over time.
This still worked correctly in MediaWiki 1.21. It would be great, if it could be fixed again!
Version: 1.22.0
