Thanks! This works great for Core maintenance scripts, but it's not working
for extensions on my end. I'm probably doing something stupid:
maintenance/run extensions/MyExt/maintenance/someScript.php
php maintenance/run.php extensions/MyExt/maintenance/someScript.php
...(and the other variants using the class name)
for all, I get the error:
Script 'extensions/MyExt/maintenance/someScript.php' not found (tried
path
'/var/www/html/w/maintenance/extensions/MyExt/maintenance/someScript.php'
and class 'extensions/MyExt/maintenance/someScript\php').
I tried several extensions. I of course am pointing to actual scripts and
not the example MyExt::SomeScript :) MW and the extensions I tried on my
machine are up-to-date with master. Any ideas? This error is what led me to
believe that perhaps the scripts weren't built to support the new
maintenance runner, but from what you're saying it sounds like no changes
should be needed.
As far as docs go, is it too soon to start adding MW >=1.40 info at
Manual:Writing
maintenance scripts
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Writing_maintenance_scripts>
and Manual:Maintenance
scripts/Running the scripts
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Maintenance_scripts/Running_the_scripts>,
etc.?

Hello! Where might I find documentation on the new maintenance runner
system? I can't find any examples in the Phabricator task or the linked
RFC, and searching for "MaintenanceRunner" or "run.php" yields no
results
on
mediawiki.org. Specifically, I was expecting Manual:run.php
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Run.php> to exist with some info
on how it works.
If given a good example patch, I'm happy to help write the docs :)
Hello,
run.php is more or less a wrapper so that instead of invoking:
php maintenance/parse.php
One should use:
maintenance/run parse
That will be released in MediaWiki 1.40 and all maintenance scripts will
emit a warning to the console when invoked directly.
Here are some references to assist in writing the documentation:
- invocation examples in the commit message of
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/core/+/798983
- the warning being added

- T99268 - RfC: Create a proper command-line runner for MediaWiki
maintenance tasks <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T99268>
And as an extra, I have implemented a back compat layer in Quibble
