Hello everyone,

I am writing unit tests for an extension, and as part of this test, I need to use the names of files on-wiki. My own wiki set up has Instant Commons, so these tests pass just fine. However, in Jenkins, the tests fail[0] because the Jenkins testing environment has no access to images. This is a perfectly reasonable behavior, though it is inconvenient.

My question then is, for the purposes of the test, how can I “spawn” an image into existence so that it is available for use in the test?

Thank you, James Hare
