Description Amir E. Aharoni 2014-02-11 21:23:00 UTC
To reproduce:

1. Go to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII in desktop Firefox.
2. Press the pencil button to edit.

Expected: The mobile editing is supposed to open.
Observed:
1. The editing interface doesn't open. The page stays the same.
2. The following errors are displayed in the JS console:

"Exception thrown by job.error" (load.php:145)
"Error: Container must be attached to the DOM" [object Error] (load.php:145)

This works in desktop Google Chrome.
Comment 1 Brion Vibber 2014-02-11 22:52:19 UTC
I can reproduce this in experimental mode (not in standard or beta).
Comment 2 Amir E. Aharoni 2014-02-12 08:35:43 UTC
If I try this on my local machine on master, I get something a bit different: I don't see JS errors, but I see a notification drawer at the bottom of the page:
"Error, can't load section."

Prioritization and scheduling of this bug is tracked on Mingle card https://wikimedia.mingle.thoughtworks.com/projects/mobile/cards/1697
Comment 4 Ryan Kaldari 2014-02-14 18:19:09 UTC
I can't reproduce in any mode, including experimental (on en.wiki or local master). Can someone verify whether or not it is still reproducable?
Comment 5 Arthur Richards 2014-02-14 18:19:50 UTC
The behavior described sounds like this was in experimental and likely an issue with VisualEditor. I am entirely unable to reproduce in FF or Chrome, in stable, beta, or alpha. I assume the issue was fixed since this was reported, so marking as WORKSFORME. Amir, please reopen if the issue is still present and let us know if you're in stable/beta/alpha.
Comment 6 Juliusz Gonera 2014-02-14 18:23:15 UTC
Also, Amir, if you're getting "Error, can't load section." on your local instance that probably means you're trying to use VE without running Parsoid.

Oh, useful to know. Thanks.
