if($_GET['bebroken']){
$wgWBRepoSettings['federatedPropertiesSourceScriptUrl'] = 'https://fsklafsalksfafaswikidata.beta.wmflabs.org/w/';
}UPDATE:
add the following request parameter to the URL in order to simulate a network error: ?sourceApiResponse=404

[mediawiki/extensions/Wikibase@master] FP: Simulate API errors on the test system
The patch only changes the ansible file templates. Apply to the test system by cd'ing into /build/federated-properties and running:
# ansible-playbook fedProps.yml --limit wikidata-federated-properties.wikidata-dev.eqiad.wmflabs
An error can then be simulated by appending the request parameter ?sourceApiResponse=404 to the URL: https://wikidata-federated-properties.wmflabs.org/wiki/Item:Q1?sourceApiResponse=404

Changing the trigger mechanism from request parameter to request header, so that AJAX requests can be manipulated to "break" the system, too. A network error to the source wiki is now triggered, when the request header
X-FedProps-SourceApiResponse: 404
is set. Use a browser extensions such as ModHeader to add the custom header to your request.
