Note that, because we are under parallel development period,
this is being done in the branch that is going to be released
(MOODLE_310_STABLE already existing) for Moodle 3.10.0 and
not in master, that is the one getting the bump under normal
(non-parallel) periods.
The optional parameters of assertEquals() and assertNotEquals()
are deprecated in PHPUnit 8 (to be removed in PHPUnit 9):
- delta => use assertEqualsWithDelta()
- canonicalize => use assertEqualsCanonicalizing()
- ignoreCase => use assertEqualsIgnoringCase
- maxDepth => removed without replacement.
More info @ https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpunit/issues/3341
Initial search done with:
ag 'assert(Not)?Equals\(.*,.*,' --php
Then, running tests and fixing remaining cases.
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\('
With PHPUnit 8 a good number of assertions, all them related with
operations on non-public attributes have been deprecated. And will
be removed with PHPUnit 9.
The main point is that unit tests shouldn't be testing non-public
APIs (good practice) and those assertions were an error originally.
See https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpunit/issues/3338 for
the complete list and other details.
When possible (the attributes being checked are public), the change
is simple, just switching to normal assertions.
When the attributes are not public we need to find a workaround
to be able to test the same using public APIs, or use Reflection,
or remove the tests.
For the records, this is the regexp used to find all the cases:
ag '>(assertAttribute|attribute\(|readAttributte|getStaticAttribute| \
getObjectAttribute)' -G "test.php"
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)
All the setup/teardown/pre/post/conditions template methods
now are required to return void. This was warned with phpunit 7
and now is enforced.
At the same time, fix a few wrong function names,
provider data and param types, return statements...
Before there is a conversation, messages between users are sent
using core_message_send_instant_messages instead of
core_message_send_messages_to_conversation.
That method had an undefined $errormessage variable, ultimately
causing the problem detected on message_post_message()/message_send()
to never been returned by the external.
This just adds the same error than already existing conversations do,
but returning it as warning, for BC, JS will show it.
If a link contains no text, the function or purpose of the link will not
be presented to the user. This can introduce confusion for keyboard and
screen reader users.
