851199 - After page is moved, new page is not created and history of original page is lost

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(developer.mozilla.org Graveyard :: General, defect, P1)

Description

[Mark Giffin [:markg]]

What did you do?
================
1. Choose "Move this page" on this URL:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/SpiderMonkey/JSAPI_Reference/Jsval

2. Tell it to move it to this URL:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/SpiderMonkey/JSAPI_Reference/JS::Value 

3. Click Save changes.

What happened?
==============
Got a 404 error on the new page. I tried the move twice.

What should have happened?
==========================
The new page /en-US/docs/SpiderMonkey/JSAPI_Reference/JS::Value should have been created with the old content from /en-US/docs/SpiderMonkey/JSAPI_Reference/Jsval, inclduing its history.

Is there anything else we should know?
======================================
Today the behavior of the original page has changed. If you go to /en-US/docs/SpiderMonkey/JSAPI_Reference/Jsval it redirects somewhere and gets a 404.

Also worth noting, the history of the Jsval page is completely gone.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/SpiderMonkey/JSAPI_Reference/Jsval$history

Let's keep this bug for fixing the underlying problem. I will open a separate bug for manually restoring the Jsval page for now.

Opened bug 851210 for restoring the Jsval page manually in the meantime.

Looks like the db I need to look at is wiki_mdc_deki and the tables are "old" for the history and "pages" for the content. (stop me if this is wrong...)

Comment 4

[Sheeri Cabral [:sheeri]]

Hrm, I recall groovecoder told me it was the developer_mozilla_org database, so I checked and am finding stuff in wiki_document and wiki_revision. Will search there first.

Oof, ignore those comments, they should have gone into https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=851210 instead. My apologies!

Might only be new pages with certain characters in it? (e.g., ':')

I'm having trouble reproducing this locally. A local unit test passes just fine:

https://github.com/groovecoder/kuma/compare/page-move-bug-851199

And the attached screenshot shows the doc moved as expected - left behind a redirect and preserved history at the new slug.

Can we retry a page move like this in a test/user space? Under https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/User:markgiffin maybe?

I created this page:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/User:MarkGiffin/page_to_move

I tried to move it to this new slug:

/en-US/docs_en-US/docs/User:MarkGiffin/sandbox/moved_page

Result: 404 error reported at that URL. Also, the original page now also gives a 404:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/User:MarkGiffin/page_to_move

Also, here is the URL for the original page after the attempted move:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs_en-US/docs/User:MarkGiffin/sandbox/moved_page?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=User%253AMarkGiffin%252Fpage_to_move

I'm still not able to reproduce this.

I haven't been able to reproduce this. I'll try again today to see if I'm able to.
