Description

https://integration.wikimedia.org/ci/job/pywikibot-core-tests/186/consoleFull

Retrying often is probably not the best option for unit tests. This could either be solved by handling the network errors gracefully in some way (and then passing the test?), or by switching tests to run on a local mediawiki (see https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/56961 )

Version: core-(2.0)

This is basically done. While the test framework doesnt automatically fall back to using a different site (e.g. localhost), many tests are 'default site' tests which means they run against whatever site the developer selects using mylang & family in user-config.py , and that could be a mediawiki on localhost.

Setting up a local mediawiki to run tests against is T58961.
