Management fix: Although rooms and room users are implemented as
separate provider interfaces, there were still assumptions that
adding/removing rooms would require user handling. Where room_provider
was implemented but room_user_provider was not, that would then result
in either unnecessary ad-hoc tasks, or tasks failing with errors. Now,
checks are in place to avoid these scenarios.
API fix: Previously save_form_data() was being called on the old
provider instead of the newly enabled one, so when switching between
providers the settings would not be correctly applied and the provider
may not function. Now, the object is reloaded and the data is saved correctly.
This commit brings in support for multiple versions of the Matrix
specification.
A Matrix server is compromised of a number of individually versioned API
endpoints, for example:
/_matrix/client/v3/createRoom
/_matrix/client/v3/rooms/:roomid/joined_members
/_matrix/media/v1/create
The combination of a large number of these individually versioned
endpoints forms a Matrix Specification version.
For example:
* the /_matrix/media/v1/create endpoint was created for version 1.7 of the
specification, and does not exist in earlier versions.
* in the future a new behaviour or parameter may be created for the
`createRoom` endpoint and a new endpoint created at:
/_matrix/client/v4/createRoom
A single server can support multiple versions of the Matrix
specification. The server declares the versions of the specification
that it supports using a non-versioned endpoint at
`/_matrix/client/versions`.
As a Matrix client, Moodle should:
* query the server version endpoint
* determine the combination of mutually supported Matrix specification
versions
* create a client instance of the highest-supported version of the
specification.
For example, if Moodle (Matrix client) and a remote server have the
following support:
```
Moodle: 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 1.6 1.7
Server: r0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 1.6
```
The versions in common are 1.1 through 1.6, and version 1.6 would be
chosen.
To avoid duplication and allow for support of future features more
easily, the Moodle client is written as:
* a set of classes named `v1p1` through `v1p7` (currently) which extend
the `matrix_client` abstract class; and
* a set if PHP traits which provide the implementation for individual
versioned endpoints.
Each client version then imports any relevant traits which are present
in that version of the Matrix Specification. For example versions 1.1 to
1.6 do _not_ have the `/_matrix/media/v1/create` endpoint so they do not
import this trait. This trait was introduced in version 1.7, so the
trait is included from that version onwards.
In the future, if an endpoint is created which conflicts with an
existing endpoint, then it would be easy to create a new client version
which uses the existing common traits, and adds the new trait.
Each endpoint is written using a `command` class which extends the
Guzzle implementation of the PSR-7 Request interface. This command
class adds support for easy creation of:
* path parameters within the URI
* query parameters
* body parameters
This is done to avoid complex patterns of Request creation which are
repeated for every client endpoint.
We should always use a stored_file instance to set the avatar, and never
a data uri. Especially where the datauri is from Moodle itself.
This change requires a number of changes in associated locations.
I am not adding this change to any upgrade notes as this is a
master-only feature.
Note: I have removed some tests and will not consider fixing them
because I will be entirely removing that test file in a subsequent issue
(MDL-77917).
This commit will implement the base api for core
communication. This will include the room creation,
room membership, room access url and all associated
api and related interfaces.
Originally implemented as MDL-76702, MDL-76703 and MDL-76705.
