Write Test Cases for the MediaWiki API Client #3

Closed jimsafley closed 13 years ago

This may require the developer to install a testing MediaWiki instance, separate from the production instance. The upshot is test coverage of Scipto's interface with MediaWiki, the reliability of which should be considered unresolved.

Consider adding a property flag to Scripto_Service_MediaWiki that suppresses getting and setting browser-based cookies. Getting is handled in __construct(). Setting is handled in login().This should allow actions that require credentials, such as login, logout, and edit (when required).

If this works, add TEST_MEDIAWIKI_USERNAME and TEST_MEDIAWIKI_PASSWORD constants to the configuration file. This should preferably be a user with bureaucrat or sysop permissions.

Consider adding getDeleteToken() and deletePage() methods to Scripto_Service_MediaWiki. This would enable complete deletion of the test page, instead of simply clearing it and incrementing the page history unnecessarily. This would require bureaucrat or sysop permissions.
