There are serveral ways a quiz attempt can be submitted:
1. The student click the Submit and finish button. In this case,
no problem. We record the current time as the finish time
for the quiz attempt.
2. The student is activly working away at the quiz, and the
count-down timer reachers zero. In this case, we also record
the current time. Note that, if the server is under high load,
then this could well end up being a few seconds after the
theoretical end time, so you could have a quiz with a 30 minute
time limit, with an attempt that lasted 30:07. However, this
is just an accurate reflection of what happened, so should
be recorded like this.
3. If the student is offline when the time expires, then
(depending on the quiz settings) the attempt may be
automatically submitted by cron, but this will happen with
at least some delay (to prevent race conditions between cron
and a student working online) and if cron is running slow
on the server, it could be a lot later. Previously, this led
to, say, a 30 minute quiz where an attempt seemed to have
lasted 67 minutes, which confused people.
Now, in this situation, the finsh time for the quiz attempt is
recorded as the time when the time limit ran out. This is not
just less confusing for teachers looking at the quiz report,
it is also more accurate. That is the latest time at which
students could have made any changes to their responses.
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\('
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...
This extends the step
Given the following "users" exist:
to also support things like
Given the following "mod_quiz > user overrides" exist:
Instructions are on the behat_data_generators and
behat_generator_base classes.
There is a proposed change MDL-66816 which will change the question
bank UI. This will break any Behat tests which uses low-level steps
like
When I click on "Duplicate" "link" in the "Test question" "table_row"
to perform an action on a question in the question bank. This commit
introduces a new step:
When I choose "Duplicate" action for "Test question" in the question bank
This commit also converts all core Behat tests to use the new step.
This converts all the navigation to quiz pages when that is not
the thing under test. Also, I decided that the Quiz settings form
belonged to the course, so did not do that here.
By adding a new optional param to quiz_prepare_and_start_new_attempt()
it can be used by the surrounding code to create an attempt for anybody
else (different from current $USER)
quiz attempt API should let you create an attempt for a different user
