(In reply to John Mark Vandenberg from comment #0)

It would be good to add another farm to our test builds. We have a few
Wikia already in family files, and other family classes are -2'd , so Wikia
it is.

Wikia is currently 1.19.20

Here are the Wikia failures (using py3):

api_tests.TestParamInfo.test_new_mode

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "./tests/api_tests.py", line 231, in test_new_mode
  pi.fetch(['info'])
File "./pywikibot/data/api.py", line 268, in fetch

  self.fetch(set([module]))
File "./pywikibot/data/api.py", line 281, in fetch
  assert(self._query_modules or _init)

v1.19 doesnt support the new mode; e.g.

http://www.wikia.com/api.php?format=jsonfm&modules=query+siteinfo&action=paraminfo

Im not sure which version it was added

site_tests.TestSiteTokens.test_tokens_in_mw_119

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "./tests/site_tests.py", line 1239, in test_tokens_in_mw_119
  self._test_tokens(None, '1.19', 'edit', 'delete')

  self.assertIn(in_tested, self.mysite.tokens)

AssertionError: 'edit' not found in {'Jayvdb': {}}

not high priority; need to skip this test if user doesnt have edit. Or add can-edit to the 'user = True' aspects flag.

site_tests.TestSiteObjectDeprecatedFunctions.test_token

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "./tests/site_tests.py", line 57, in test_token
  token = mysite.tokens[ttype]
File "./pywikibot/site.py", line 1341, in __getitem__

pywikibot.exceptions.Error: Action 'edit' is not allowed for user Jayvdb on
wikia:wikia wiki.

as above

site_tests.SiteUserTestCase.testSearch

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "./tests/site_tests.py", line 887, in testSearch

  raise APIError(code, info, **result["error"])

pywikibot.data.api.APIError: gsrsearch-text-disabled: text search is disabled

This should be detected and become a skiptest

site_tests.SiteUserTestCase2.testPatrol

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "./pywikibot/site.py", line 1323, in __getitem__
  key = self.site.validate_tokens([key])[0]

IndexError: list index out of range

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "./tests/site_tests.py", line 1155, in testPatrol
  result = list(mysite.patrol(rcid=rc['rcid']))

  token = self.tokens['patrol']
File "./pywikibot/site.py", line 1327, in __getitem__
  .format(key, self.site))

pywikibot.exceptions.Error: Requested token 'patrol' is invalid on
wikia:wikia wiki.

testPatrol should check it can get a patrol token, and skip test if not

page_tests.TestPageObject.testLinks

pywikibot.data.api.APIError: notext: The text parameter must be set

Both Page and Site methods should avoid expanding templates for the empty string.

wikibase_tests.TestPageMethods.test_item_templates

Traceback (most recent call last):

  return toRemoveR.sub('', text)

(this one is unrelated I believe.. but I thought we fixed this??)

Many of these require the test suite to be a bit more intelligent about user
rights.

Indeed this looks like T71664, but in this case the test is directly calling templatesWithParams on an ItemPage which itself calls textlib.extract_templates_and_params and T71664 just prevented that botMayEdit calls that templatesWithParams. But in theory this should happen anywhere and not just with Wikia.

A possible solution would be to override templatesWithParams in ItemPage to always return an empty list.

Hmm, I'd be more inclined to raise an exception, as anyone calling ItemPage.templatesWithParams is using the wrong method with the wrong type of page, and the code needs to be fixed.

It appears that page_tests.TestPageObject.testLinks has been fixed as part of T75529. Although the question is why the main page has no text at all (so maybe the symptom is gone but not the cause).
