Undefined index error in CachingResultsBuilder when checking constraints on empty entity
Closed, ResolvedPublicPRODUCTION ERROR
Actions

Description

If an entity has no statements, then we don’t have any CheckResults to store in the result array (not even NullResults), so CheckingResultsBuilder returns a completely empty array. This is already a violation of the wbcheckconstraints API, I think (consumers should probably be able to expect the entity ID and an empty claims array, at least), but it also results in an error in CachingResultsBuilder when trying to access the results for that entity to cache them:

Notice: Undefined index: Q50580715 in /srv/mediawiki/php-1.31.0-wmf.25/extensions/WikibaseQualityConstraints/src/Api/CachingResultsBuilder.php on line 242

Not sure what the best solution for this will be… probably some kind of NullContextCursor (only entity ID, no statement etc.) that we can plug into the NullResult we already have from T178160?

Patch-For-Review (two chains):

I uploaded a workaround to fix the PHP warning at least; do you think this is serious enough to warrant a backport?

Well, not quite… we actually work around this in CheckConstraints.php itself, so the API end-user never sees this :) but this fix belongs into the proper constraint checking machinery, not tacked onto it in the API wrapper like that, IMHO.

Guys, please communicate. This back-and-forth does not look like fun.

Change 420993 abandoned by Lucas Werkmeister (WMDE):
Revert "Work around CheckingResultsBuilder bug"

Reason:
CachingResultsBuilder has been removed and we never copied this workaround to its successor, CachingResultsSource.

• Lucas_Werkmeister_WMDE closed this task as Resolved.Mar 26 2018, 2:39 PM

I think this is resolved now, we’ve done a lot of refactorings in this area anyways (see T189593). The proper fix is still in place (though there are some more fixes for semi-related issues in T190684), and the workaround was removed as part of the refactoring already.
