M is not created on all pages, like cron and
Steps which check for exported data. So we need
to ensure M is defined, before using it in
behat_hooks::wait_for_pending_js()
This reverses the references used for global $USER and $SESSION,
the reason is that PHP does not allow references to references.
$USER is a reference to $GLOBALS['USER'] which means we cannot
put any references to it. Solution is to store the current user and session
objects in $GLOBALS['USER'] and $GLOBALS['SESSIOn'] are reference
them in $_SESSION.
This patch makes the session code behave the same way in CLI,
phpunit and normal web requests - this allows use to finally
unit test most aspects of the session code in Moodle.
Run all behat with medium (1024x768) screen size to
avoid failures with small screen size. Also, added
feature to let scenario chnage screen size if need be.
It includes 2 more minor fixes:
- Escapes values sent to TinyMCE as it was breaking
when values contained double quotes.
- Adding seconds to the screenshots directory to
avoid using the same folder for multiple runs.
- Move them to i_look_for_exceptions() so they will be
thrown at a step (scenario) level.
- Accept alerts only when they are detected to avoid
all the following scenarios to be failing; they would
continue executing, but they will all fail if the alert
is still there
- Add a step to avoid add_scorm.feature to fail
- Refine the UnknownError catch
1/ always require 3 behat settings - $CFG->behat_wwwroot, $CFG->behat_dataroot and $CFG->behat_prefix
2/ cleanup init code
3/ do not require $CFG->wwwroot and $CFG->dataroot on test sites
4/ remove switch completely - the most confusing part for me
5/ print out behat_wwwwroot in init script so that you can test the test site manually
* When looking for texts inside the page or inside
other containers we should wait until the elements
are visible.
* Same when expanding tree nodes.
* Normalizing loops to spin() function using
behat_base::TIMEOUT and behat_base::EXTENDED_TIMEOUT,
leaving TIMEOUT for DOM load processes and
EXTENDED_TIMEOUT for long processes that involves JS
too.
* Add page load waits between actions that involves
reloading the page.
In general aiming for compatibility with multiple browsers,
firefox, chrome and phantomjs to be more specific.
* Removing hardcoded waits
* Adding @_alert, @_switch_window and @_switch_frame tags,
to label actions that different drivers have problems with.
* Adding missing @_files_upload and @_only_local tags to features that
uploads files.
* Fixing a few wait for page ready what specified miliseconds.
* New methods to ensure elements (usual selectors), sections and editors
are ready to interact with
* Changing the select an option implementation to deal with the different
drivers implementations when listening to JS events.
List of changes:
* New OOP API using PHP namespace \core\session\.
* All handlers now update the sessions table consistently.
* Experimental DB session support in Oracle.
* Full support for session file handler (filesystem locking required).
* New option for alternative session directory.
* Official memcached session handler support.
* Workaround for memcached version with non-functional gc.
* Improved security - forced session id regeneration.
* Improved compatibility with recent PHP releases.
* Fixed borked CSS during install in debug mode.
* Switched to file based sessions in new installs.
* DB session setting disappears if DB does not support sessions.
* DB session setting disappears if session handler specified in config.php.
* Fast purging of sessions used in request only.
* No legacy distinction - file, database and memcached support the same functionality.
* Session handler name included in performance info.
* Fixed user_loggedin and user_loggedout event triggering.
* Other minor bugfixing and improvements.
* Fixed database session segfault if MUC disposed before $DB.
Limitations:
* Session access time is now updated right after session start.
* Support for $CFG->sessionlockloggedinonly was removed.
* First request does not update userid in sessions table.
* The timeouts may break badly if server hosting forces PHP.ini session settings.
* The session GC is a lot slower, we do not rely on external session timeouts.
* There cannot be any hooks triggered at the session write time.
* File and memcached handlers do not support session lock acquire timeouts.
* Some low level PHP session functions can not be used directly in Moodle code.
We look for exceptions after each step, this patch
includes a pre-checking query to avoid multiple queries
for each step when most of the time they are not necessary.
When a step closes a popup window the page DOM is not available
until we switch again to the main window; we should avoid exceptions
at framework level when hooking the after step process, this
includes the new exceptions catcher modification.
