uselang=user on api breaks in ULS
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?uselang=user gives a error page instead of api help in the user lang. I am not sure, if this bug is in ULS or API.

If you report this error to the Wikimedia System Administrators, please include the details below.

PHP fatal error in /srv/mediawiki/php-1.25wmf5/extensions/UniversalLanguageSelector/UniversalLanguageSelector.hooks.php line 199:
Argument 3 passed to UniversalLanguageSelectorHooks::getLanguage() must be an instance of RequestContext, instance of ApiMain given

It depends on whether the $context parameter to 'UserGetLanguageObject' is really supposed to be a RequestContext, or if any IContextSource implementation should be accepted. If the former, API; if the latter, ULS and docs/hooks.txt.

I note that ULS only uses it for $context->getRequest(), so any IContextSource would do. And CentralAuth is also calling the hook while passing something that is only guaranteed to be an IContextSource (specifically whatever is returned by SpecialPage::getContext()).

The bug itself is fixed, and was backported during the SWAT window that was conveniently still open. The doc fix for hooks.txt is still outstanding, but that's just bug 1.
