In PHP 8.2 and later, setting a value to an undeclared class property is
deprecated and emits a deprecation notice.
So we need to add missing class properties that still need to be declared.
Default value of the $flag argument changed in PHP 8.1 from ENT_COMPAT to ENT_QUOTES | ENT_SUBSTITUTE
To ensure consistent behavior across different PHP version the second parameter is now required for the functions:
htmlspecialchars(), htmlentities(), htmlspecialchars_decode(), html_entity_decode() and get_html_translation_table()
It has been detected that there are various uses of the plugins
breaking the inter-communication principles, with core_webservice
implementing functionality plugin-dependent that should belong
to the plugins.
Because of that, https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-76078 has
been created and we have added some TODO/@todo comments in core
pointing to that issue, for further analysis and fixes there.
Normal removal procedure:
- Remove the plugin completely from core.
- Document it in the webservices upgrade.txt file.
- Add a core upgrade step to proceed to remove any configuration
if the plugin has not been re-installed manually.
Plus:
- Remove a few remaining uses in the hub/sites registration scripts,
that were moved from xmlrpc to hand.made rest calls by MDL-31436
(Moodle 3.4.1 and up) and never removed then.
- Remove the php-xmlrpc extension as a recommendation in composer.
- Remove "xmlrpc" from various comments, trivial cleanup.
Note:
- While working on this MDL-76078 has been created about to
fix a serious design problem detected (it does not affect
functionality). That's out from this issue scope.
Applied the following changes to various testcase classes:
- Namespaced with component[\level2-API]
- Moved to level2-API subdirectory when required.
- Fixed incorrect use statements with leading backslash.
- Remove file phpdoc block
- Remove MOODLE_INTERNAL if not needed.
- Changed code to point to global scope when needed.
- Fix some relative paths and comments here and there.
- All them passing individually.
- Complete runs passing too.
Special mention to:
- Moved to the level2 "privacy" namespace:
- \mod_assign\privacy\feedback_legacy_polyfill_test
- \mod_assign\privacy\submission_legacy_polyfill_test
- Moved to the level2 "task" namespace:
- \core_message\task\migrate_message_data_test
- \ltiservice_gradebookservices\task\cleanup_test
- \message_email\task\send_email_test
- \mod_lti\task\clean_access_tokens_test
- \mod_workshop\task\cron_task_test
- Moved to the level2 "event" namespace:
- \core_h5p\event\deleted_test
- \core_h5p\event\viewed_test
- Renamed to a better name:
- backup_forum_activity_task_test.php (missing "task")
All externallib_test, generator_test and filter_test classes:
- Namespaced with component[\level2-API]
- Moved to level2-API subdirectory when required.
- Fixed incorrect use statements with leading backslash.
- Changed code to point to global scope when needed.
- Fix some relative paths and comments here and there.
- All them passing individually.
- Complete runs passing too.
Special mention to tests under testing/tests:
1) The core_testing component doesn't exist.
2) But testing/tests are allowed because there is a suite pointing to it (phpunit.xml).
3) So, the only possible namespace for them is "core".
4) And to avoid problems with other core testcases (under lib/tests)
they have been renamed to have testing_xxxx as prefix.
Finally, also modified calendar/tests/events/events_test.php because it uses
some renamed (core_calendar_externallib_testcase => \core_calendar\externallib_test)
classes.
All events_test, external_test and search_test classes:
- Namespaced with component[\level2-API]
- Moved to level2-API subdirectory when required.
- Fixed incorrect use statements with leading backslash.
- Changed code to point to global scope when needed.
- Fix some relative paths and comments here and there.
- All them passing individually.
- Complete runs passing too.
Special mention to lib/external/tests/external_test.php:
- external is not a valid component
- hence, its only valid namespace is "core"
- also, it's testing lib/external/externallib.php
- hence, the file (and class) have been renamed to external_externallib_test.php
(to avoid conflicts with other external_test that may exist in core)
All lib_test and locallib_test classes:
- Namespaced with component (and API whenever makes sense).
- Fixed incorrect use statements with leading backslash.
- Changed code to point to global scope when needed or add new uses.
- All them passing individually.
- Complete runs passing too.
Special mention to tests under login/tests:
1) The core_login component doesn't exist.
2) But login/tests are allowed because there is a suite pointing to it (phpunit.xml).
3) So, the only possible namespace for them is "core".
4) And to avoid problems with other core testcases (under lib/tests)
they have been renamed to have login_xxxx as prefix.
As far as now all them have correct privacy level2 namespace:
- Move them to "privacy" subdir.
- Rename the files to "provider_test.php", this includes old
privacy_test.php and privacy_provider_test.php files
- Rename the testcase to provider_test too (to match file name)
Also, change some relative paths and comments to point to new
locations.
All privacy_test and privacy_provider_test classes:
- Namespaced with component\privacy.
- Fixed incorrect use statements with leading backslash.
- Changed code to point to global scope when needed.
- Renamed a few files to make all be privacy_test or privacy_provider_test.php
- All them passing individually.
- Complete runs passing too.
Differences can be checked with git diff --ignore-all-space and
that will show that the only non-whitespace change is in a test
in the git lib/tests/html2text_test.php file. In that case the
whitespace has been replaced by a quoted string (of whitespaces)
keeping the test 100% equivalent and workarrounding the whitespace.
