[QA] Parsoid self updating on beta cluster

Thu Dec 5 19:44:33 UTC 2013

Hello,

After a few weeks that is it. Parsoid is updating by itself on the beta
cluster.

The python script that update the MediaWiki extensions detects whenever
the Parsoid git HEAD as changed by looking for the commit date.  If that
ever happens, it update the npm modules and restart the service running
on deployment-parsoid2.pmtpa.wmflabs.

In short, it means that once a change is merged for Parsoid it ends up
on the beta cluster in the next 10 minutes or so.

If you see any problem while testing VisualEditor on the beta cluster,
that MIGHT be due to an issue with a recent update of Parsoid :-D

Still have to update the "how code is updated article" at:
 https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Beta/How_code_is_updated

cheers,
