Currently, tests require the user to be logged in. It would be good to be able to run tests without requiring that -- for example, the unit tests in jenkins do not have a password available and thus cannot run completely.
Tests that should be skipped can be seen at https://integration.wikimedia.org/ci/job/pywikibot-core-tests/185/consoleFull
Version: core-(2.0)
Severity: normal

It would also be great if fetching functions would work without logging in in General.
This request was mostly completed in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/151604/ .
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/154469 provides all the functionality, and marks some tests as needing a 'user', but some are not yet marked as needing a 'user' as some test classes need to be split so the tests which need a user are separated from the other tests which can run without a user.
Specifying that tests require a valid user has been added, allowing only anon tests to be run using
nosetests -a '!user'
