CI: switch the install script to git clone#496
Merged
Conversation
GitHub recently converted older MediaWiki release refs (REL1_39 through
REL1_42, plus all old extension/skin branches down to REL1_20) from
branches to tags, leaving both refs in place under the same name. The
bare `archive/<name>.tar.gz` URL form now returns HTTP 300 Multiple
Choices for those names instead of a tarball:
the given path has multiple possibilities:
#<Git::Ref:...>, #<Git::Ref:...>
The 5.x matrix includes REL1_39, REL1_41, REL1_42, currently passing
only because the install step is gated on a cache hit and the cache
entries pre-date the conversion. Cache eviction would tip those rows
red. Switching to `git clone --depth 1 --branch <name>` resolves
either ref form transparently and is robust to whatever Wikimedia does
with the refs next.

MediaWiki marks phpunit.xml.template with `export-ignore` in `.gitattributes`, which excludes it from `git archive` output (and therefore from GitHub's `archive/<ref>.tar.gz` tarball endpoint). That's why the new-runner code path had to fetch it separately. `git clone` does not honour `export-ignore`; the file is in the working tree after a normal checkout. With installWiki.sh now using `git clone`, the separate wget for the template becomes dead code. Drop it. Bump the cache key from -v20 to -v21 so existing wget-era cache entries (which lack `phpunit.xml.template` because they were populated from the archive tarball) do not satisfy the new code path.

Fixes latent install-script bitrot affecting REL1_39, REL1_41, and REL1_42, and drops the now-redundant wget for
phpunit.xml.template.Switch the install script to
git cloneWikimedia recently converted older MediaWiki release refs (REL1_39 through REL1_42, plus older extension/skin branches) from branches to tags. The original branch refs still exist for now, so the same names resolve as both a branch AND a tag. GitHub's archive endpoint can no longer disambiguate the bare
archive/<name>.tar.gzURL form in that state, and returns an HTTP 300 Multiple Choices with a 105-byte body:The matrix's REL1_39, REL1_41, and REL1_42 rows are currently passing only because the install step is gated on a cache hit, and the cached MediaWiki trees were populated from the pre-conversion wget era. Cache eviction (7-day inactivity on a given key, or the cache-key bump in this PR) would tip them red. Switching

phpunit.xml.templateThe new-runner code path (1.46+) was fetching
phpunit.xml.templatefromraw.githubusercontent.combecause MediaWiki marks the fileexport-ignorein.gitattributes, which excludes it fromgit archiveoutput (and therefore from GitHub'sarchive/<ref>.tar.gztarball endpoint).git clonedoes not honourexport-ignore; the file is in the working tree after a normal checkout. WithinstallWiki.shnow usinggit clone, the separate wget becomes dead code.Bump the cache key
Existing wget-era cache entries (
-v20) lackphpunit.xml.templatebecause they were populated from the archive tarball. Without a key bump, on every cache hit after merge the file would be absent andcomposer phpunit:configwould fail. Bump to-v21so the next run on each cache key produces a fresh entry from thegit clonepath, with the file included.
