VM, rdfio302_on_smw254_mw129.ova setup issue

First of all, it is delight to have such simple setup by just running the VM without having to deal with all the vagrant, ansible setup.

The following issues appeared with the https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.5383966.v1 file:

VM description

The VM description says "..with MediaWiki 1.9, ..." which should state 1.29 instead.

Display resolution

I need to install sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-utils virtualbox-guest-x11 virtualbox-guest-dkms to allow for a better display resolution

LocalSettings.php

• Link to the LocalSettings.php on the desktop
• Add $wgAllowDisplayTitle = true; $wgRestrictDisplayTitle = false; to use the DISPLAYTITLE
• $smwgOWLFullExport is not required (doesn't exists since 1.6)

Outdated cURL extension

I had to manually update cURL sudo apt-get install php-curl as tests complained with "Use of undefined constant CURLE_GOT_NOTHING - assumed 'CURLE_GOT_NOTHING'"

php.ini

Some reports of Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded hence required to change the php.ini - max_execution_time.

XDebug

XDebug is enabled by default which kills performance and it should be disabled using "sudo phpdismod -s cli xdebug".

Running SMW standard tests

After resolving all above issues, I was finally able to the run composer phpunit (or composer integration for those integration tests) and the encounter the following issue:

In /var/www/html/w/extensions/Rdfio/stores/SMW_ARC2Store.php:110 there is no such method as SMWWikiPageValue::setValues not in 2.5.* and not in 1.8* (for comparison see https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticMediaWiki/blob/1.8.0.5/includes/datavalues/SMW_DV_WikiPage.php).

We should be able to run composer phpunit from the SMW root directory without problems with or without enabled SMWARC2Store.
