The current ->setMethods() has been silently (won't emit any
warning) in PHPUnit 9. And will stop working (current plans)
in PHPUnit 10.
Basically the now deprecated method has been split into:
- onlyMethods(): To point to existing methods in the mocked artifact.
- addMethods(): To point to non existing (yet) methods in the mocked
artifact.
In practice that means that all our current setMethods() calls can be
converted to onlyMethods() (existing) and done. The addMethods() is
mostly useful on development phases, not final testing.
Finally note that <null> isn't accepted anymore as parameter to
double all the methods. Instead empty array [] must be used.

Both assertContains() and assertNotContains() are deprecated in PHPUnit 8
for operations on strings. Also the optional case parameter is. All uses
must be changed to one of:
- assertStringContainsString()
- assertStringContainsStringIgnoringCase()
- assertStringNotContainsString()
- assertStringNotContainsStringIgnoringCase()
More info: https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpunit/issues/3422
Regexp to find all uses:
ag 'assert(Not)?Contains\('
dirname() is a slow function compared with __DIR__ and using
'/../'. Moodle has a large number of legacy files that are included
each time a page loads and is not able to use an autoloader as it is
functional code. This allows those required includes to perform as
best as possible in this situation.
PHP5 used to update error_reporting to 0 on functions called with the
suppress errors operator (@). In PHP7 it is not updated.

Based on a patch by Davo Smith of Synergy Learning
RSS feeds can fail, either permanently or temporarily.
After this patch if a feed fails it will not be tried again in the next cron run.
If it continues to fail the delay between tries will be increased.
When a feed succeeds it will go back to being fetched on each cron run.
This should make the CRON process for RSS feeds finish faster when
there are lots of invalid feeds.
