write test scaffolding for core plugins

[Will Kahn-Greene]

The core plugins need some additional test scaffolding to make it easier to write core plugin tests.

Why?

Well, so, the problem is that mediagoblin configuration is global and also which plugins are running is also global. There's a bunch of setup/cleanup that needs to get done. It should go in scaffolding to make it easier to deal with.

So what exactly is it that you are looking for? You want some functions, etc, added to the test framework to help do setup/cleanup for core plugins? Would you want the framework to detect which plugins were installed?

Hi Will,

This sounds like a good idea, but I suspect that there's not yet enough concrete detail here for anyone, other than you, to attempt the work. I see that LotusEcho has requested more information about 4 years ago but had no response. Any chance you could provide some guidance, or stub out some of the code?

Cheers,
Ben
