MediaWiki: how can I tell an extension to load load mediawiki.js and mediawiki.base.js?-CodePudding

I'm trying to mantain an abandoned MediaWiki extension but I realized it's not that easy.

I've forked it in github https://github.com/slim16165/Semantic-MediaWiki-Graph and trying to make MW load the base javascript that defines the JS mw.util

The PHP Code

$wgOut->addModules(['mediawiki', 'mediawiki.base', 'mw.util']);
//$wgOut->addScriptFile("{$wgScriptPath}/resources/src/mediawiki.base/mediawiki.base.js");
 $wgOut->addScriptFile("{$wgScriptPath}/extensions/SemanticMediaWikiGraph/includes/js/d3_v4.min.js");
 $wgOut->addScriptFile("{$wgScriptPath}/extensions/SemanticMediaWikiGraph/includes/js/utility.js");
 $wgOut->addScriptFile("{$wgScriptPath}/extensions/SemanticMediaWikiGraph/includes/js/app.js");

The JS Error

jquery-3.6.3.js:4114 jQuery.Deferred exception: mw is not defined ReferenceError: mw is not defined
    at HTMLDocument.<anonymous> (https://www.tematichedigenere.com/extensions/SemanticMediaWikiGraph/includes/js/utility.js:3:5)

Testing the extension on my wiki: link to the test page

CodePudding user response：

These modules are always loaded. The code is probably running too early. Ideally you'd rewrite the extension to use ResourceLoader modules and declare a dependency on mediawiki.util; less ideally, you can just wrap the scripts in an onl oad handler so they execute after everything else has.
