I'm working on cleaning up the code[1] for GrantsBot[2] and generally
getting it into better and more robust shape. I've started writing basic
unit tests to assist in the refactoring process. Since it interacts so
heavily with the MediaWiki API, however, this isn't a straightforward
process, and it's even more complicated because I'll be rewriting it to use
a different client library (so any mocks/stubs I include will need to be
rewritten). Does anyone have thoughts on the best strategy for this, or,
more generally, pointers to good resources for writing unit tests for API
clients?
