The easiest fix here is to create a new page on the wiki in question.
We should adapt the test case to clarify how to resolve the issue in this case.

Reason:
I'll make a few edits on that wiki.
I made some edits for now, but this may happen again in few month if there are no other edits on that wiki.
Added a new page on zh.wp.beta; this resolved the issue: https://travis-ci.org/magul/pywikibot-core/jobs/244040241#L1134
Happening again:

As I said in T198722, I think we should look for a more permanent solution.
Also users may run tests on third-party wikis in which they can't make an edit...
I'm going to send a patch to disable the self.assertGreater(len(pages), 0, failure_message) assertion.
