This commit makes the following improvements to core page resolverss:
* allows for mixed case naming (course, Course, etc.)
* allows fields other than the idnumber to be specified:
** course: idnumber, shortname, fullname
** course category: idnumber, name
Whilst some of these fields are not unique, they will typically be
unique in most test scenarios. Where they are not then the idnumber
should be used in preference.
The activity generator currently requires an idnumber when creating
activities, but this is not a requirement when creating the same
activity through the UI. The requirement comes because we want to
provide a way to refer to activities in subsequent steps.
This commit modifies the behaviour such that the generator uses the name
of the activity as the default idnumber.
This has two main benefits:
1. it simplfies generation of activities; and
2. it makes the language used when writing behat tests much more natural.
With this change, steps will refer to the activity by its idnumber/title
in all cases, rather than sometimes by an idnumber which bears no
relevance to the title.
Try to correct broken ul/ol/li tags, as they have an outsized impact
on course layout. Uses basic regex and loops to track open and closed
tags.
Also adds a deep clean option to the HTML cleaner, that runs less
frequent, more intensive cleanings. This is because normally _cleanHTML
gets called after each keystroke, which could cause problems with
large content on weak systems.
Behat changes are a fix for setting multiline strings in Atto, and
creating a multiline match step.
This includes 2 change to the order date(time) elements are filled,
each one addressing one type of problem, where current order is
problematic and can lead to unexpected dates.
1) Changing date, when current month only has X days and target
month has more than X days. Example, being 1 April, change
the date to 31 May.
This is solved by changing the order of introduction
from current D => M => Y to Y => M => D.
2) Changing date, when target month only has X days and current
month has more that X days. Example, being 31 March, change
the date to 28 Feb.
This is solved by always setting the D to 1, before the
Y => M => D sequence commented @ 1) begins.
It was deprecated in php72 and now it's gone.
Have used this regexp to find all the uses in core:
ag set_error_handler | uniq
And then checked all them manually, that parameter was not
being used in the 3 methods where we are removing it.
Adds behat support for selecting date and time from a datetime selector
element. The passed values should represent a textual date and time
description wrapped in '##' (e.g. '##first day of January 2020 08:00##',
'##1 Jan 2020 10:30##'). Also, the value 'disabled' is valid and can be
used to disable the datetime selector element.

Moves the logic from guess_type() to a separate protected method
get_field_instance_for_element(). This would be quite useful for
form field classes as they can now use this method when there is
a need to determine the type of a given node element.
Behat should not trigger Synthetic browser events. It is incorrect to do
so as the UI should be used to trigger events correctly.
The W3C WebDriver specification explicitly states when and where these
events will be triggered from (the browser) and therefore there is no
ambiguity and no need to synthetically trigger them from Behat.
This change introduces a new function to execute Javascript directly on
a node.
This should not, ordinarily, be used directly by steps, but may be
required in other parts of the Behat interaction.
The PHP WebDriver Mink Driver does not necessarily require Selenium. It
supports Selenium 3 upwards, and can be used directly with ChromeDriver,
EdgeDriver, SafariDriver, GeckoDriver, and others.
It therefore uses a slightly different configuraitno path.
This commit updates core Behat features to make use of the
php-webdriver/webdriver library instead of the legacy Instaclick
library.
Most of these changes relate to use of features of WebDriver which we
are required to use directly rather than through the Mink Driver.
The form_autocomplete is essentially a custom element. Unfortunately the
`setValue()` function in Mink has undesired actions so it is necessary
to write our own handling for it.
The standard Mink `setValue()` function focuses the element, sets a
value, and then blurs the element. In the case of the autocomplete this
can cause the autocomplete suggestions list to be closed in some
situations. Instead of using the setValue we click, and type the value,
but do not immediately blur.
