I ended up reverting the change on master which was setting the context wiki whenever the context doc was set. This was causing issues in the wiki creation process, but I`m sure there would have been other places as well since we`ve been exploiting this desynchronization between context wiki and context document in many places and it has become impractical to apply such a catch-all solution. For the moment, I`ve applied the same fix on master as I did on the 7.4.x branch for the translations issue, which consisted of manually setting the context wiki when the context doc is changed to make sure they are synchronized. I suggest we recommend this as a best practice whenever dealing with the context document. We might even try to come up with some helper method or something similar with the SUExecutor component to wrap code that should be executed with a different context wiki or document.

Hi devs,

I`ve noticed that we have an issue in our context API that allows setting the context wiki and the context document independently, thus creating (by design) a desynchronization between the 2.

The downside is that you can set the context document to something from a different wiki while the context wiki will not be updated and still report the old wiki. Any system/component that relies on the current context wiki will not behave as expected since it will work with the outdated wiki instead of using the newly set context document's wiki.

Please see http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-13138 for more details, but what I am proposing here is to make the first step in that direction and ensure that at least the context wiki is updated when the context document is updated (what I call 1-way sync) to avoid problems.

Here's my +1.

Also, Thomas has already expressed his concerns that this might be a risky change to introduce in 7.4.x, so it will only be pushed on the 8.x (master) branch and for 7.4.x we`ll just set the context wiki in the right places to fix the translations issue.

Thanks, Eduard

P.S.: I will push this change in master ASAP and, should there be any -1, revert it. _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
