Description Ariel T. Glenn 2011-01-28 18:57:44 UTC
new code is:

$writer = new XMLWriter();
$writer->openURI( 'php://stdout' );

in dumpTextPass.php

This bypasses the write functions for the user-specified sink which for example would write several compressed streams at once to different files.

This will break XML dumps. 

Tested from the command line against trunk using the command

/usr/bin/php -q /home/ariel/src/mediawiki/testing/phase3/maintenance/dumpTextPass.php --wiki=elwikidb --stub=gzip:/home/ariel/src/mediawiki/testing/dumps/public/elwikidb/20110127/elwikidb-20110127-stub-meta-current1.xml.gz --prefetch=bzip2:/home/ariel/src/mediawiki/testing/dumps/public/elwikidb/20110125/elwikidb-20110125-pages-meta-current1.xml.bz2 --force-normal --report=1000 --server=localhost --spawn=/usr/bin/php --output=bzip2:/home/ariel/src/mediawiki/testing/dumps/public/elwikidb/20110127/elwikidb-20110127-pages-meta-current1.xml.bz2

and it wrote to stdout (it opened the specified output file which then had length 14 bytes = empty file).

(replace with files of your choice on a local install).

I'm thinking you mean r77638

http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/phase3/maintenance/dumpTextPass.php?view=annotate

157	ialex	77638	                $reader = new XMLReader();
158	 	 	                $reader->open( $this->input );
159	 	 	                $writer = new XMLWriter();
160	 	 	                $writer->openURI( 'php://stdout' );

Comment 2 Alexandre Emsenhuber [IAlex] 2011-01-29 09:01:01 UTC
Fixed in r81186.
Comment 3 Chad H. 2011-07-20 23:08:44 UTC
Needs re-fixing, since the XMLReader/Writer-related changes were backed out in r92707.
Comment 4 Ariel T. Glenn 2011-09-18 07:30:01 UTC
Are we talking trunk or 1.17 here? Trunk runs fine; I've been testing against it for some time.
Comment 5 Ariel T. Glenn 2011-11-02 15:27:15 UTC
hearing no response (and having had runs fine against 117wmf4, 118wmf1 and trunk), I'm calling this done.
