In order to pass the test of clean urls, need to disable maintenance mode. This condition is not obvious and very often leads to waste time for searching for the causes in .htaccess file or server configuration.
I see a very simple solution to this problem is to add an information message about need to turn off maintenance mode.

Please check if this is an issue with Drupal 8. If so, it must be fixed there first according to the backport policy.

I don't think this issue affects Drupal 8 as it doesn't have a settings page for clean URLs: 'clean_url' configuration setting removed; clean URLs are autodetected each request.

For Drupal 8, it could be an issue during installation, not when the site is put on maintenance mode. Also, see Drupal 8 install does not warn if Clean Urls are not supported (works as designed).

If you agree it is needed, I have attached a patch which tells you to go online when clean URLs test fails on maintenance mode.

I think your logic is off a bit. In the case where maintenance mode is not enabled but the clean url test fails there is no message saying 'The clean URL test failed.'

I've reworked the patch - please take a look.

Yes I realised I was wrong after I submitted it and turned off my laptop. Thanks!
