Since some versions ago the app allows a good user control of notifications.
This is why we should be enabling more notifications (mostly for students) by default.
Namely:
- 3rd param of assertEquals() cannot be null.
- Some incorrect uses of assertNotEmpty().
- Comparing 2 strings now uses strict (===) evaluation.
Link: https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpunit/issues/3185
Solution here is one of:
a) Return to the previous situation, making the comparison
softer. That can achieved by forcing different types, so
float == string works.
b) Changing APIs (both forms and database return strings) to
perform some conversion to floats. That would make float
comparison (with floats or strings) to work too.
The patch here follows the a) approach. Changing all the internals
for proper float handling sounds excesive when it has been working
perfectly since ever. So we went the easier route, just getting
rid of the new === comparisons when needed by changing expectation
types to float.
When grades are deleted, it needs to know the context so any files
in the gradebook can be deleted. This means module delete_instance
functions must delete the grade_item before they delete the module record.
3.7 (min PHP 7.1) requires 3.2 (first version supporting PHP 7.1)
This just deletes all the upgrade steps previous to 3.2.0. Some
small adjustments, like adding missing MOODLE_INTERNAL or tweaking
globals can also be applied when needed.
Also includes an upgrade step to prevent upgrading from any
version < 2016120500 (v3.2.0) as anti-cheating measure.
Next commit will get rid of/deprecate all the upgradelib functions
not used anymore in codebase. (note there isn't any this time).
The capabilities changed ('contextlevel' => CONTEXT_COURSE changed to
'contextlevel' => CONTEXT_MODULE) are:
* moodle/site:accessallgroups
* moodle/site:viewfullnames
* moodle/site:trustcontent
* moodle/site:viewuseridentity
This list came from reviewing the _get_extra_capabilities functions in
all core activities. They were all somewhat inconsistent, but I think it
makes sense that these capabilities are consistently overridable in all
activities. E.g. moodle/site:accessallgroups affects conditional
availability even if there is no other user of groups, and
moodle/site:viewuseridentity and moodle/site:viewfullnames affect the
logs report, if nothing else.
As a result of this, several _get_extra_capabilities functions are no
longer needed, and all the rest have been simplified.
This commit reviews all continue uses in core happening within a
loop / switch / case hierarchy. This does not cover:
- Changes to libraries. Will be handled in another issue / commit.
- Uses out from loops, will be reviewed by other commit.
The policy followed has been:
- When possible, take rid of the continue.
- When clearly the intention was to jump to next element in loop
change to continue 2
- When it was not clear, keep old behavior switching to break, no
matter how weird the behavior may be.
As agreed in MDL-63186, the English language pack has no space
separating the number and the percents. This patch removes the
regressions from the unit tests.
