Running tests

The VisualEditor plugins for MediaWiki can be tested within your MediaWiki install.

Configure your wiki to allow running of tests. In LocalSettings.php, set:

// https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:JavaScript_unit_testing
$wgEnableJavaScriptTest = true;

Then open http://URL_OF_MEDIAWIKI/index.php/Special:JavaScriptTest/qunit (for example, http://localhost/w/index.php/Special:JavaScriptTest/qunit).
