Failure to install MediaWiki::Bot

[Maarten Deen]

Hi,

I am trying to install MediaWiki::Bot on my Linux machine. It was
installed before (as in: 2 years ago or so) but probably after an
upgrade it got removed.
But I am getting lots of errors during the tests and I don't understand
why.
I have Perl 5.26.1 and using Linux 18.04

Can you help me with this?

Thanks,
Maarten

The module has been unmaintained for years, so it is unsurprising that the test suite is broken. It makes requests to real WMF wikis, so it needs to be kept up-do-date with changes to the MediaWiki versions they run, and that hasn't been happening.

You should feel free to install the module, but the test failure indicate which functionality may be broken.
