Daniel Ziegenberg c23d5edb0f MDL-83334 core: Remove deprecated constant E_STRICT

One of the error levels PHP previously emitted was E_STRICT, on code
that was not strictly correct to ensure interoperability and forward
compatibility. PHP 7.0 converted the majority of existing E_STRICT
warnings to E_NOTICE, and since PHP 8.0, all E_STRICT notices have
changed to E_NOTICE.

Because all of the E_STRICT notices are upgraded to E_NOTICE since PHP
8.0, PHP 8.4 deprecates the E_STRICT constant.

The E_STRICT constant is deprecated in PHP 8.4. Using the constant
anywhere in PHP code now emits a deprecation notice in PHP 8.4 and
later.

The E_STRICT constant will be removed in PHP 9.0.

PHP core and core extensions since PHP 8.0 and later do not emit
E_STRICT notices at all. It is safe to assume that any PHP applications
that run on PHP 8.0 and later will never encounter E_STRICT notices, and
error reporting and handling can be safely updated to ignore E_STRICT
notices.

PHPUnit testing support in Moodle

Documentation

Composer installation

Composer is a dependency manager for PHP projects. It installs PHP libraries into /vendor/ subdirectory inside your moodle dirroot.

install Composer - http://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md
install PHUnit and dependencies - go to your Moodle dirroot and execute php composer.phar install

Configure your server

You need to create a new dataroot directory and specify a separate database prefix for the test environment, see config-dist.php for more information.

add $CFG->phpunit_prefix = 'phpu_'; to your config.php file
and $CFG->phpunit_dataroot = '/path/to/phpunitdataroot'; to your config.php file

Initialise the test environment

Before first execution and after every upgrade the PHPUnit test environment needs to be initialised, this command also builds the phpunit.xml configuration files.

execute php admin/tool/phpunit/cli/init.php

Execute tests

execute vendor/bin/phpunit from dirroot directory
you can execute a single test case class using class name followed by path to test file vendor/bin/phpunit lib/tests/phpunit_test.php
it is also possible to create custom configuration files in xml format and use vendor/bin/phpunit -c mytestsuites.xml

How to add more tests?

create tests/ directory in your add-on
add test file, for example local/mytest/tests/my_test.php file with my_test class that extends basic_testcase or advanced_testcase
set the test class namespace to that of the class being tested
add some test_*() methods
execute your new test case vendor/bin/phpunit local/mytest/tests/my_test.php
execute php admin/tool/phpunit/cli/init.php to get the plugin tests included in main phpunit.xml configuration file

Windows support

use \ instead of / in paths in examples above
