This functionality needs to be added to the MediaWiki core unit tests, as many use it to get images from Wikimedia Commons available in their wiki. See bug 36653 (T38653).

- T38653: InstantCommons is broken
Event Timeline
Comment Actions
So do we want to have tests for instant commons (original request) or for ForeignAPIRepo (per Krinkle) ?
Is the brokeness caused by some bug in ForeignAPIRepo?

The recent breakage was caused by a bug in the central Http classes (almost no outgoing http requests were working at all, including those made by ForeignAPIRepo).
wgUseInstantCommons is just a shortcut for Setup.php to add a $wgForeignFileRepos using ForeignAPIRepo to link with http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php

We should introduce some sane tests for this then. The last versions were doing a bunch of external requests to sites we don't control.

Presumably the latter, but perhaps using Commons as the test repo.
