QA tests in mediawiki-core should have no logic or mention of Wikimedia Foundation wikis
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

See also https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/143199/

Please refactor these soon so that they take wikis (and ideally browsers as well) via run-time configuration instead of hardcoded in the repository. These should be tests for the feature in general, which (depending on how they are run) can be used as up-time checker or regression indicator for a specific wiki (e.g. wmf production or beta labs). But the test itself should not have that logic in it. that should be provided from the Jenkins job running it.

bzimport set Reference to bz67616.

Ideally this code would not make it into a release or stable branch to avoid cluttering third-parties adopting this pattern. Targeting against 1.24 as reminder.

Zeljko and I discussed this today, and we should be able to remove specific environment tags from the feature files when we implement pull-by-branch. This is a high priority for the Release Engineering team, and we have made some progress toward this in the builds already, with Antoine's mw-api-siteinfo.py script added to the Jenkins builds.

Has any progress been made on this?

Chris and I have paired on it today, but ran out of time. If nothing goes wrong, we should be able to clean up Core tomorrow.
