This adds support to the existing, shallow fakeplugin mocks provided by:
- advanced_testcase::add_mocked_plugintype() and
- advanced_testcase::add_mocked_plugin()
and adds new methods for deep mocking fakeplugins:
- advanced_testcase::add_full_mocked_plugintype()
- advanced_testcase::deprecate_full_mocked_plugintype()
- advanced_testcase::delete_full_mock_plugintype()
Deep mocking is required to test \core\component itself.
PHPUnit removed the ability to mock a destructor, but our lock system
throws an exception if a lock has not been explicitly released in its
destructor.
Normally thhis is fine because the lock is released, and if not then we
want to know about it.
However, where we are mocking the lock, we do not actually obtain the
lock, and we may expect the test to fail.
This change moves the release and notification to a separate, reusable
public method, which is called from the destructor. This allows it to be
mocked at the appropriate time.
* Remove chat and survey plugins from the standard plugins
* Remove all related tables and settings from both plugins
using upgrade.
* Remove temporary admin notification (MDL-82297) and strings.
* PHP Unit:
- Remove chat and survey as a sample module for unit testing
replacing it with assignment module when possible (if not page).
- Remove chat and survey from bulk update test
* Behat: Remove chat and survey behat tests
This commit:
- introduces a \tests\ sub-namespace for use in unit tests only
- the path to this the tests/classes directory of the owning parent
- files here are excluded from unit test runs
This is agreed per policy in MDL-80855.
This change moves the reset of global test state to the finally section
rather than doing it only if the test passes.
Previously if a test which modifies the `core_component` internals
failed, it would not reset the internal state and impact subsequent
tests.
There are inherent issues with task blocking which mean that it has
never worked properly. It is also very buggy and can lead to massive
performance issues with task processing.
It is almost impossible to deprecate this in a staged fashion because
various APIs use the methods and it is not possible to determine which
are API uses and which are other valid uses.
In reality there has been little-to-no uptake on the use of this feature
and it should just be removed.
Using DI for all hook access means that it becomes significantly easier
to mock hooks and callbacks for unit testing without fundamentally
altering the structure of the code purely for the purposes of unit
testing.
This commit adds the PSR-20 ClockInterface to core, with a
moodle-specific extension to the Interface at `\core\clock`, and a
standard clock at `\core\system_clock`.
Further clocks are provided as `\incrementing_clock` and `\frozen_clock`
which are available to unit tests using:
- `$this->mock_clock_with_incrementing(?int $starttime = null);`
- `$this->mock_clock_with_frozen(?int $time = null);`
For the incrementing clock, every call to fetch the time will bump the
current time by one second.
For the frozen clock the time will not change, but can be modified with:
- `$clock->set_to(int $time);`; and
- `$clock->bump(int $seconds = 1);`
This adds a few changes to the old test_context_not_used test:
- Move it to become an advanced_test, because its mission
is to verify that the assertEventContextNotUsed() assertion
works as expected.
- For consistency, also move the fixtures to own phpunit fixtures.
- Add proper coverage tags, to verify that the assertion is being
covered.
- Add a data provider to provide all the current cases and ease
any future case that may be needed in the future. One by one
because previously there was code never executed with the
warning expectation causing the test to stop.
- Run them in isolation, while this is not strictly required, it's
including external fixtures and, we'll need that isolation soon
(for changes coming when moving the test to PHPUnit 9.6 in MDL-81266).
This has been generated running the following Sniffs, all
them part of the Moodle's CodeSniffer standard:
- PSR12.Functions.ReturnTypeDeclaration
- PSR12.Functions.NullableTypeDeclaration
- moodle.Methods.MethodDeclarationSpacing
- Squiz.Whitespace.ScopeKeywordSpacing
All them are, exclusively, about correct spacing, so the changes
are, all them, only white space changes.
Only exceptions to the above are 3 changes what were setting the
return type in a new line, and, when that happens, the closing
parenthesis (bracket) has to go to the same line than the colon.
The only tests that have COMPLETE* support for the debugging sink
are the advanced_testcase and the database_driver ones (store and
report). So we must ensure that the rest of tests don't use the
debugging sink at all.
Right now we are using it for storing, but later there is not
reporting, so any debugging happening within non advanced tests
is not detected.
This commit just ensures that we stop making that storing for
non advanced/database_driver tests. Nothing more, nothing less.
* Note that we have had to add a few missing bits to the
database_driver testcase because it was not 100% complete. Now
it behaves 100% the same than the advanced_testcase one regarding
the debugging sink.
The \core\di class is a Moodle wrapper to php-di which is intended to
allow Moodle to switch to an alternate DI solution in the future if
required. All interaction with the container uses the PSR-11 Container
interfaces, which allows for normalisation of configuration, setting,
and retrieving of DI container-identified classes.
- Added a new method called get_messages_by_component()
This method will help to retreive the redirected messages
of specific component only
- Added a new method called get_messages_by_component_and_type()
This method will help to retreive the redirected messages
of specific component and type only
During the bootstrap of PHPUnit we ensure that the database has been
reset to its initial state.
We do this by checking the internally-stored DB write count between
runs. If the count is not yet set (null), or it has been increased, we
force a reset.
When running an isolated test the test runner resets the database, it
then sets up a new isolated test environment by writing a new PHPUnit
test case and passing it to a new PHP Process using standard in. As part
of this, the bootstrap is run for that process.
Because we are in a new process, the db write count is fresh and not yet
set. This has been leading to an additional db reset before the isolated
test.
To handle this we want to _not_ perform a reset during the
initialisation for isolated runs. We know that the DB is in a fresh
state before we start the run.
To support this we need to know whether the test is an isolated test
during the bootstrap, which means we cannot use the previous approach to
calculating this.
Instead we look at the PHP_SELF value. PHP sets this to "Standard input
code" when run from stdin, instead of running a file.
There should not be any other legitimate reason to run a PHPUnit
bootstrap via this stdin approach.
Unfortunately this approach is a little bit risky as it depends on the
presence of a specific string, however this string has been in place
since 2016, and there is no legitimate way of calculating this.
I did consider looking at whether the called script included `/vendor/`
and `/phpunit`, but this is also likely a risky approach if someone
calls PHPUnit in an unexpected way.
This approach is itself unit tested so any change to PHP's stdin string
before we deprecate this approach entirely in 12 months time will be
caught.
