[16:00:34] <dhinus>	 I tried to upgrade toolforge's pywikibot image, but I think I broke it :/ T410948
[16:00:35] <stashbot>	 T410948: New upstream release for Pywikibot - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T410948
[16:02:40] <dhinus>	 I'm having a shot at rebuilding with "--use-latest-versions"
[16:06:40] <dhinus>	 hmm now I get a different error
[17:30:45] <dhinus>	 found the issue: I was running my tests as the "pywikibot" user in toolforge, but they should be run as "wikitech-double-redirect-bot", or a user with the right credentials stored in PWB_ env vars
[18:11:45] <bd808>	 dhinus: That sounds like something that could somehow use better validation and error messages.
[18:12:17] <dhinus>	 bd808: yeah the error message was very obscure. if the vars are set, but invalid, the error message is better
[18:12:45] <bd808>	 :nod:
[18:37:12] <dhinus>	 I added some details to the docs at https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Portal:Toolforge/Admin/Pywikibot_image#Doing_a_test
[18:44:19] <dhinus>	 and I created T415818, self-triaged to Low
[18:44:20] <stashbot>	 T415818: In the Toolforge pywikibot image, missing env vars cause obscure error messages - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T415818
[18:46:40] <taavi>	 andrewbogott (and others): I filed T415819 based on the side track in the earlier meeting
[18:46:41] <stashbot>	 T415819: Deprecate /data/scratch volume - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T415819
[18:57:44] * dhinus off
[22:04:27] <volans>	 bd808: thanks!
[22:04:51] <volans>	 (this was re:clinic duty rotation script :D)
[22:06:44] <bd808>	 yw. I did the etherpad rest dance so many times I should have automated it, but I guess that's one unmaintained project I didn't leave for y'all to deal with. ;)
[22:06:56] <bd808>	 *etherpad reset
[22:07:46] <volans>	 can be improved but it's a starting point to take away a bunch of manual boring steps at the start of the shift
