$title = new \Addwiki\Mediawiki\DataModel\Title( 'New Page' );

Running the integration tests

To run the integration tests, you need to have a running MediaWiki instance. The tests will create pages and categories without using a user account so it's best if you use a test instance. Furthermore you need to turn off rate limiting by adding the line

$wgGroupPermissions['*']['noratelimit'] = true;

to the LocalSettings.php of your MediaWiki.

By default, the tests will use the URL http://localhost/w/api.php as the API endpoint. If you have a different URL (e.g. http://localhost:8080/w/api.php), you need to configure the URL as an environment variable before running the tests. Example:

export MEDIAWIKI_API_URL='http://localhost:8080/w/api.php'

Warning: Running the integration tests can take a long time to complete.
