I'm talking about Unit Tests... I need to be able to run them while
offline, for instance. Integration tests would in theory be feasible
against a site. Note that I support multiple sites and I'm wanting to
unit-test some core functionality, not validate integration with any
other sites.

This doesn't solve my underlying problem. I want to write a Unit Test,
not an Integration Test. My Unit Test should take a few seconds at most
to run, and should not depend on an external service which may be
unavailable.
Thanks,
Daniel.
