Current test works ok every day of the year but the day of
DST begin changes (last Sunday of March currently).
That day, 01:00 Europe/London simply doesn't exist, because
the time is moved forward by 60 minutes.
Hence the expectation for the next cron execution is not 1 "normal"
day (24h) but 1 less hour.
Note this only happens for the current test on DST begins, the
opposite change (DST ends), happening the last Sunday of October
is not affected, because, at all effects, 01:00 is a perfectly normal
and existing hour.
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
assertInternalType() is deprecated and will be removed in
PHPUnit 9. Refactor your test to use assertIsArray(), assertIsBool(),
assertIsFloat(), assertIsInt(), assertIsNumeric(), assertIsObject(),
assertIsResource(), assertIsString(), assertIsScalar(),
assertIsCallable(), or assertIsIterable() instead.
If a scheduled task which uses a 'R' field is picked, then the reset of
updated task times will not necessarily be correctly determined as the
randomisation is picked during reset.
This can lead to some random test failures.
Actively specifying a test which does not make use of the 'R' random
field time addresses this issue.
The new setting will allow to host the temporary backup files
into a specific target directory. Defaults to '$CFG->tempdir/backup'.
Calling make_backup_temp_directory() checks that the required sub-directory
will be properly created under the new target directory.
This patch replaces all homegrown timezone
stuff with standard PHP date/time code.
The main change is the introduction of core_date
class that returns normalised user and server
timezones. From now on nobody should be using
$CFG->timezone or $user->timezone directly!
Other new features and fixes:
* admins are prompted for timezone during install
* editing of other users is finally fixed
* timezones are displayed in user profile
* new $this->setTimezone() in phpunit
* time locale is now automatically reset in phpunit
* timezone is now automatically reset in phpunit
* phpunit has Australia/Perth as default timezone
When working against external services it can be advantageous to not
have automated tasks all hit the service at the exact same time from
many different installations.
This change allows the use of 'R' in hour/minute fields of the scheduled
task definition so a task will be installed with a 'random' hour/minute
value for these sort of occasions.
Note that the task will be installed in the database with a defined
time, this simply randomises the time chosen when loading from the
definiton.
Centralise management of all types of cron tasks with registration, scheduling,
parallel task conflicts(blocking) and running once off tasks, all using an
administration screen.
This is a combination of several issues:
MDL-25502: Added "black magic" task allocator for cron
MDL-25503: Add step to cron to run all scheduled tasks
MDL-25504 cron: Refactor to use scheduler
MDL-25505: Add an admin interface to schedule tasks via cron.
MDL-25507: Add support for adhoc tasks.
