Currently test.wikipedia.org is served out of the main Wikipedia docroot and has the deployed copies of the skin CSS/JS/icon files. This makes it difficult to test new changes which require CSS and JS files. It should pull the live copies from the NFS master. (Since it's on an isolated system this shouldn't be a perf/stability issue)
#$wgStyleSheetPath = '/w/skins-1.17'; if ( $wgDBname == 'testwiki' ) { // Make testing skin/JS changes easier $wgExtensionAssetsPath = 'http://test.wikipedia.org/w/extensions-1.17'; $wgStyleSheetPath = 'http://test.wikipedia.org/w/skins-1.17'; } else { $wgExtensionAssetsPath = 'http://bits.wikimedia.org/w/extensions-1.17'; $wgStyleSheetPath = 'http://bits.wikimedia.org/skins-1.17'; } I'm presuming this isn't the case any more?
That code has been in there for a long time, at least since the 1.17 deployment. However, per this http://wikitech.wikimedia.org/index.php?title=How_to_deploy_code&diff=34863&oldid=34586 this bug is not fixed yet.
WONTFIX per bug 43722
