[Wikimetrics] Validation: FAILURE in Wikimetrics

Discussion:

Hello
I try to upload a cohort to Wikimetrics for the first time but Validation:
FAILURE appears. I think the reason are usernames written in Armenian
characters. I tried both csv and txt formats but the same error. I deleted
the Armenian usernames from the list and no problem was detected, I could
upload the cohort. Please help.

Thank you
Best regards

Hi Lilit,

There is a known issue going on right now with cohort validation. We are
actively working to fix it. The issue is tracked here:

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63836

we will mark it as resolved when the fix is in place. When we do so,
please test again and let us know if you are still having trouble. Thanks
for the bug report.

Hi Lilit,

I wonder if it's related to the bug that was submitted last
Frida<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63836>y.
Other users have been having trouble as well. From my experience, I have
usernames in Latin and Arabic script which have both worked fine in the
past. Even if there is an error in the usernames, it should validate and
then report which usernames are valid and which ones are invalid (allowing
you to trouble shoot and check for typos, trailing spaces or unnecessary
underscores).

I know our colleagues in the Czech Republic were having trouble with
usernames with complex characters with diacritics at first, but it turned
out to be a character set adjustment. The quick solution for them was using
a Google spreadsheet for the CSV. This is something you can investigate
once your cohort validates and you know which usernames the tool accepted
or rejected as invalid.

Dan beat me to the bug reply just now :)

Cheers,
Tighe

Thanks for quick answers Dan and Tighe.
Tighe I tried the Google spreadsheet for the CSV but no result, the same
error.
I'll wait for the bug fix.

Thanks a lot

Lilit,
Would you be so kind as to try to upload your cohort again? We have
deployed a fix to production that should solve issues with both uploading
cohorts and validating users.

We believe this might have been broken after a recent upgrade we did to one
of our database drivers. We have tested with various cohorts for quite some
time but we await your confirmation that the issue is fixed for you before
calling the fix good.

This issue is tracked here:
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63836

Thanks,

Nuria
