Subject: Trigger warning for bad use of transactions.
X-Git-Tag: 1.31.0-rc.0~22330^2
X-Git-Url: http://git.cyclocoop.org/%7B%24admin_url%7Dcompta/comptes/journal.php?a=commitdiff_plain;h=877c8afc3ebc66e7af53377317a009fcb3d132a9;p=lhc%2Fweb%2Fwiklou.git

Trigger warning for bad use of transactions.

Mediawiki currently does not support nested transactions, which means that
starting a transaction while another is in progress will silently commit
the previous transaction, causing lots of potential inconsistency.

This change introduces checks that will log a warning whenever begin() is
used while a transaction is already in progress, and whenever commit() or
rollback() are used without a transaction being in progress.

NOTE: this exposes several places in the code where transactions have inadvertedly
be nested, or unmatched calls to begin() resp commit() are used. With
$wgDevelopmentWarnings enabled or I36583fb0 merged, this may cause tests to fail.
The following changes fix the issues in question: I80faf2ed, Ia225251e, Iff394f97,
and I20d90fed.
