Moodle announced that support for IE would be dropped back in August
2020 with Moodle 3.9 but not active steps were taken at that time. That
decision was made in MDLSITE-6109 and this particular step was meant to
be taken in Moodle 3.10.
This is the first step taken to actively drop support for IE.
This commit also bumps the browser support pattern from 0.25% to 0.3%.
The percentage here includes any browser where at least this percentage
of users worldwide may be using a browser. In this case it causes
support for Android 4.3-4.4 to be dropped, which relate to Android
KitKat (released 2013).
This combination of changes means that all of the supported browsers in
our compatibility list support modern features including async,
for...of, classes, native Promises, and more which has a huge impact on
the ease of debugging code, and drastically reduces the minified file
size because a number of native Polyfills included by Babel are no
longer included.
Unfortunately the babel minify-mangle plugin seems to be abandoned and
in certain circumstances can be very buggy. The only safe options are to
disable it, or to switch to a different minification library.
Not minifying our javascript is not ideal, so this commit updates the
javascript tasks to use a rollup, combined with babel, and terser.
Babel still converts code from ES/UMD/AMD to AMD modules with the
relevant browser support, whilst terser minifies the code.
The rollup bundler handles tracking and creation of sourcemaps, and
supports better parallelisation of the tasks.
Since the upgrade to Node LTS/Gallium requires an upgrade to @babel/core
and eslint, which change the built files anyway, this seems like the
ideal time to make this change.
If a course only had events due later in the current day when filtering
by overdue, it was possible we would show a course name with nothing
below it, because we fetched all events to the end of the day. This fix
means we only load courses with events due before the current time and
avoid the issue.
Note that, instead of going one by one to them from the XMLDB Editor
(load, makes some tiny change, save, revert the change, save), the
report includes a commented line that, once uncommented, does regenerate
the file while reporting.
I've left it there as a commodity for the developer.
All restore_date_test, api_test, rule_test, plugin_test,
manager_test, helper_test testcase classes:
- Namespaced with component[\level2-API]
- Moved to level2-API subdirectory when required.
- Fixed incorrect use statements with leading backslash.
- Remove file phpdoc block
- Remove MOODLE_INTERNAL if not needed.
- Changed code to point to global scope when needed.
- Fix some relative paths and comments here and there.
- All them passing individually.
- Complete runs passing too.
Special mention to:
- All restore_date_test cases have been put under xxx\backup
level 2 (valid API) namespace.
Kudos to Chrome that detected this. The buttons are now not visible
until you hover the course card. Hence, we have to do the same with
extra behat step, to allow the following click to work.
All externallib_test, generator_test and filter_test classes:
- Namespaced with component[\level2-API]
- Moved to level2-API subdirectory when required.
- Fixed incorrect use statements with leading backslash.
- Changed code to point to global scope when needed.
- Fix some relative paths and comments here and there.
- All them passing individually.
- Complete runs passing too.
Special mention to tests under testing/tests:
1) The core_testing component doesn't exist.
2) But testing/tests are allowed because there is a suite pointing to it (phpunit.xml).
3) So, the only possible namespace for them is "core".
4) And to avoid problems with other core testcases (under lib/tests)
they have been renamed to have testing_xxxx as prefix.
Finally, also modified calendar/tests/events/events_test.php because it uses
some renamed (core_calendar_externallib_testcase => \core_calendar\externallib_test)
classes.
Updating the dates view of the block so it shows the same message as
courses view if the user is not enrolled in any courses. The block also
no longer tries to fetch any content in this case, since we know they
have no courses to fetch events from.
Previously, the timeline block courses view included all courses in
alphabetical order, whether they contained any events matching the
relevant filters or not. This could be tedious and misleading if there
were many courses with no events appearing before a course which did
have matching events. Now, courses are only included if they contain
events matching the currently set time filter and search term. When
those values are modified, the block will be refreshed and fetch
results for the current values, and also takes these into
consideration when determining whether to display the show more courses
button.
All events_test, external_test and search_test classes:
- Namespaced with component[\level2-API]
- Moved to level2-API subdirectory when required.
- Fixed incorrect use statements with leading backslash.
- Changed code to point to global scope when needed.
- Fix some relative paths and comments here and there.
- All them passing individually.
- Complete runs passing too.
Special mention to lib/external/tests/external_test.php:
- external is not a valid component
- hence, its only valid namespace is "core"
- also, it's testing lib/external/externallib.php
- hence, the file (and class) have been renamed to external_externallib_test.php
(to avoid conflicts with other external_test that may exist in core)
For the boost them, a few themes have been hidden by default.
The unaddable setting should be set to let admins add them again,
because some behat tests need them.
The following lang strings have been undepecated, as they are still
in use:
* errorcoursewronglypublished, core_hub
* eventrolecapabilitiesupdated, core_role
- Changed the breakpoint for responsiveness from 1200px to 768px
- Added "dots" to indicate days with events for the large block and main calendar page
- Added popovers for the main calendar page
- Added new Behat scenarios to test the responsiveness
