WP reinstaller doesn't work

Description

I've been playing around with the new WP upgrader, and it is consistently refusing to reinstall WP on a stock 2.7.

I've tracked this down somewhat...

r10166 allowed a reinstall request to ask for the user's credentials, but it didn't change that form's action accordingly. It seems to me that the reinstall request is then forgotten. The procedure then fails with "WordPress is at the latest version." in wp_update_core(), because of a test on:

$current->response == 'latest'

anyway, I believe that the form action, when browsing update-core.php?action=do-core-reinstall, should be update-core.php?action=do-core-reinstall rather than its current value.

Does that help?

  • Keywords has-patch added

Well, I haven't tested the patch but I created a plugin at the same time I reporting this, that essentially does the same thing using an output buffer. So I presume it will work. :-)
