**Describe the issue / Steps to reproduce:**  
i did a migration from Media Wiki to the latest 4.4 version today and the visual editor it not working.

I confirmed the steps here: [VisualEditor configuration - BlueSpice Wiki](https://en.wiki.bluespice.com/wiki/Setup:Installation_Guide/Advanced/VisualEditor_Configuration)

**Expected behavior:**  
the visual editor should load

**What was the error message/error log?**  
There is no error messages on the screen. The loading bar gets about 3/4 of the way across the screen and I get the following errors in the console:

```auto
[ZXIGCcGKdNWOeaR41pHcYgAAAAM] 2023-12-07 17:51:05: Fatal exception of type "RuntimeException"
(anonymous) @ load.php?lang=en&modules=ext.bluespice.watchlist.visualEditor&skin=bluespicediscovery&version=1o25a:4

```

and

```auto
ContentDroplets: Required RL modules failed to load
(anonymous) @ VM17:26

```

There are a lot of deprecated errors in the php\_error\_log file but nothing related to this that I can see.

So i turned on some debugging and found the error for the VE was as follows:

```auto
"<PATH_TO_MY-WEBROOT>/w/extensions/BlueSpiceWatchList/resources/bs.watchlist/util/tag/WatchListDefinition.js"

```

The bs.watchlist is lowercase but on my server it was BS.WatchList and this was causing an error. after i renamed it to all lower case, cleared caches etc all is well with the world…
