Use core functions that are faster for test file creation.
To support large requests for hashes, the core hash function
must support large hashes without recursion. PHP has a default
recursion depth of 100 and long hashes don't support this.
Remove transactions as they create performance problems for larger
courses and doesn't introduce significant benefit for developers.
Performance changes meant the times were much faster, a reasonable
guess was taken on performance of an average machine.
This patch adds two new functions to the event base to allow deprecation of
the individual events, without entirely removing them from the UI.
This is different to our normal deprecation procedure because all events
must support display of historical data. It must also be possible to view
the event information in the event monitor.
PHP7 doesn't have any default XHProf support and all other
investigated forks don't have stable PHP7. Tideways is under
active development and is easy to install. The data format
is compatible with XHProf so it is a drop-in replacement in that way.
Blocks can declare has_config() as true without actually using the
default node in the admin tree. Typical use case is when the block
injects its settings to other parts of the admin tree and it assigns
null to its $setting node in its settings.php file.
As Janek L.B. correctly spotted, this led to false debugging message
on admin/blocks.php as the code interpreted it as missing settings.php
file.
The patch adds explicit file existence test for this rare case.
1. getMock()
2. setExpectedException()
3. checkForUnintentionallyCoveredCode renamed to beStrictAboutCoversAnnotation
4. beStrictAboutTestSize renamed to enforceTimeLimit
5. UnitTestCase class is now fully removed.
Existing language strings for the host component suggest that the host can
be provided in the format hostname:port, but we previously did not support
this.
This patch explodes the string based on the colon character and assumes
that if there are two parts, that they are in the format hostname:port.
Note: This does not attempt to deal with full host specifications (e.g.
protocol://hostname:port), as this is beyond the scope of this change.
Moodle 3.2 and up will require PHP >= 5.6.5. Hopefully some day we'll
have this centralized with MDL-39007, just it's not done yet.
Thanks to Stephen Bourget for raising this!
