Extension:CodeMirror is currently in the process of being upgraded to the new major version, CodeMirror 6. See the change log for details.
Use of CodeMirror 6 is controlled by the wgCodeMirrorV6
configuration setting, or by passing in cm6enable=1
in the URL query string.
CodeMirror 6 requires the use of NPM to bundle the dependencies. These are bundled in resources/codemirror.bundle.js, built using Rollup, and packaged as the ext.CodeMirror.v6.lib
ResourceLoader module. If you make changes to the versions of the dependencies, you will need to run npm run build
to update the ResourceLoader module.
NOTE: Consider using Fresh to run these tasks.
