README
RunJobsTrigger for MediaWiki
Provides an infrastructure to execute background tasks based on MediaWiki's maintenance/runJobs.php
.
This code is meant to be used within the MediaWiki framework. Do not attempt to use it outside of MediaWiki.
Prerequisites
MediaWiki's maintenance/runJobs.php
script must be run periodically by a serverside process (e.g. in a cronjob on Linux or Scheduled Task on Windows).
The frequency of that job determines the minimum frequency at which handlers can be invoked. It is recommended to invoke maintenance/runJobs.php
every 15 minutes at a minimum.
Use in a MediaWiki extension
Add "mwstake/mediawiki-component-runjobstrigger": "~2.0"
to the require
section of your composer.json
file.
Since 2.0 explicit initialization is required. This can be achived by
- either adding
"callback": "mwsInitComponents"
to yourextension.json
/skin.json
- or calling
mwsInitComponents();
within you extensions/skins customcallback
method

Implement a handler
Create a class that implements MWStake\MediaWiki\Component\RunJobsTrigger\IHandler
. For convenience, you may want to implement a subclass of the abstract base class MWStake\MediaWiki\Component\RunJobsTrigger\Handler
In the getInterval
method you can return any object that implements MWStake\MediaWiki\Component\RunJobsTrigger\Interval
. There are a few predefined intevals available:
MWStake\MediaWiki\Component\RunJobsTrigger\Interval\OnceADay
MWStake\MediaWiki\Component\RunJobsTrigger\Interval\OnceAWeek
MWStake\MediaWiki\Component\RunJobsTrigger\Interval\OnceEveryHour
MWStake\MediaWiki\Component\RunJobsTrigger\Interval\TwiceADay
Register a handler
There are two ways to register a handler:
- Using the
mwsgRunJobsTriggerHandlerRegistry
GlobalVars configuraton - Using the hook
MWStakeRunJobsTriggerRegisterHandlers
In both cases, an ObjectFactory specification must be provided.
Example 1: GlobalVars
$GLOBALS['mwsgRunJobsTriggerHandlerRegistry']['my-own-handler'] = [ 'class' => '\\MediaWiki\Extension\\MyExt\\MyHandler', 'services' => [ 'MainConfig' ] ];
Example 2: Hookhandler
$GLOBALS['wgHooks']['MWStakeRunJobsTriggerRegisterHandlers'][] = function( &$handlers ) { $handlers["my-own-handler"] = [ 'class' => '\\MediaWiki\Extension\\MyExt\\MyHandler', 'services' => [ 'MainConfig' ] ]; return true; };
Configuration
mwsgRunJobsTriggerRunnerWorkingDir
: Where to store data during execution. Defaults to the operating system's temp dir.mwsgRunJobsTriggerOptions
: Timing options for particular handlers.mwsgRunJobsTriggerHandlerRegistry
: Add your own trigger handlers.
Configuration examples
Using MediaWiki’s temporary directory to store data during execution
Suppose an administrator wants to ensure that they can ensure any temporary files are created in MediaWiki’s temporary directory rather than somewhere else. They could do this by adding the following to their LocalSettings.php
:
$GLOBALS['mwsgRunJobsTriggerRunnerWorkingDir'] = $wgTmpDirectory;
Changing the timing options
A wiki administrator could add the following to their LocalSettings.php
to have OnceAWeek
tasks run on Friday instead of Sunday (by default):
$GLOBALS['mwsgRunJobsTriggerOptions']['*']['once-a-week-day'] = 'friday';
Debugging
A debug log can be enabled by adding
$GLOBALS['wgDebugLogGroups']['runjobs-trigger-runner'] = "/tmp/runjobs-trigger-runner.log";
to your LocalSettings.php
file
