Moodle announced that support for IE would be dropped back in August
2020 with Moodle 3.9 but not active steps were taken at that time. That
decision was made in MDLSITE-6109 and this particular step was meant to
be taken in Moodle 3.10.
This is the first step taken to actively drop support for IE.
This commit also bumps the browser support pattern from 0.25% to 0.3%.
The percentage here includes any browser where at least this percentage
of users worldwide may be using a browser. In this case it causes
support for Android 4.3-4.4 to be dropped, which relate to Android
KitKat (released 2013).
This combination of changes means that all of the supported browsers in
our compatibility list support modern features including async,
for...of, classes, native Promises, and more which has a huge impact on
the ease of debugging code, and drastically reduces the minified file
size because a number of native Polyfills included by Babel are no
longer included.
Unfortunately the babel minify-mangle plugin seems to be abandoned and
in certain circumstances can be very buggy. The only safe options are to
disable it, or to switch to a different minification library.
Not minifying our javascript is not ideal, so this commit updates the
javascript tasks to use a rollup, combined with babel, and terser.
Babel still converts code from ES/UMD/AMD to AMD modules with the
relevant browser support, whilst terser minifies the code.
The rollup bundler handles tracking and creation of sourcemaps, and
supports better parallelisation of the tasks.
Since the upgrade to Node LTS/Gallium requires an upgrade to @babel/core
and eslint, which change the built files anyway, this seems like the
ideal time to make this change.
The patch removes the duplicate navigation selector which appears in the
'Show non-respondents' page by removing the 'nonrespondents' node from
the module's settings navigation. Additionally, it highlights the
'Responses' item in the secondary navigation and sets it as active in
the module settings navigation.
Introduces some changes to the exising _extend_settings_navigation()
methods that utilize the global $PAGE object. In order to accomodate
the changes done for the secondary navigation for single activity
courses, the methods that extend the settings navigation can no longer
rely on the $PAGE object, instead the more reliabe way to obtain this
infomation is through the get_page() method from settings_navigation
class.
Note that, instead of going one by one to them from the XMLDB Editor
(load, makes some tiny change, save, revert the change, save), the
report includes a commented line that, once uncommented, does regenerate
the file while reporting.
I've left it there as a commodity for the developer.
All restore_date_test, api_test, rule_test, plugin_test,
manager_test, helper_test 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:
- All restore_date_test cases have been put under xxx\backup
level 2 (valid API) namespace.
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.
These are the only cases 100% safe to apply the renaming of the
testcase class names to match the file names.
All other cases are not safe, because they are missing namespace
and may enter into name conflicts. Adding namespaces is not as
simple as imagined because it implies to, also, add a good number
of modifications to core. See the issue for more details.
