While this is not strictly required, because removal will
happen in PHPUnit 9.0, we are already getting rid of all
uses in core.
From release notes:https://phpunit.de/announcements/phpunit-8.html
The annotations `@expectedException`, `@expectedExceptionCode`,
`@expectedExceptionMessage`, and `@expectedExceptionMessageRegExp`
are now deprecated.
Using these annotations will trigger a deprecation warning
in PHPUnit 8 and in PHPUnit 9 these annotations will be removed.
Also, all uses of expectExceptionMessageRegExp() has been moved
to expectExceptionMessageMatches(). See https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpunit/issues/3957
TODO: Various weirdness found while doing the changes with these tests:
- vendor/bin/phpunit lib/tests/exporter_test.php (created MDL-69700)
- vendor/bin/phpunit competency/tests/external_test.php (same issue than prev one)
- vendor/bin/phpunit question/engine/tests/questionengine_test.php (created MDL-69624)
- vendor/bin/phpunit lib/tests/event_test.php (created MDL-69688)
- A new assertDebuggingCalledCount has been introduced, as multiple debugging messages
may be called in some cases, for example when calling events_cron with queued events
that need to be dispatched.
- events_update_definition has been moved out of setUp as debugging messages are only
caught by our phpunit custom stuff when they are called inside tests.
This makes the '*' observers to be executed always first. This change allows us to implement parent event class catching if we ever decide we need it without breaking BC. This change includes some more unit test fixes.
* fix typos (thanks Rajesh)
* move log related data out from event API specification
* change callable key in definition to callback
* use event data in observers instead of cached records if possible
* event level is now a number 1…100
* improved event safety checks
* add event name and description method
* new can_view() method
* improve unit tests to test all callable types
* improved performance
