There is some specific code being executed that only exists
in the MoodleSelenium2Driver. Conditionally execute this
code to make it compatible with other Mink drivers.
The second parameter of the wait method should be a string
so passing boolean false was wrong. The default on for the
script is 'false' which works cross Mink drivers.
This change removes the complex and partial loading of role definition data for users.
It is replaced by keeping one system-wide definition for each role in MUC.
This is cheaper to regenerate as it avoids complex database queries (repeated LEFT JOIN to context).
Memory usage is kept low thanks to array CoW for each user access data.
While ldap_get_entries_moodle() PHPdocs state that it returns "array
ldap-entries with lower-cased attributes as indexes.", this is not true. It
uses ldap_get_attributes() internally, which returns both numerically indexed
attribute names, and dictionary-like entries indexed by attribute names.
Current code lowercases the dictionary-like entries, but then uses the
numerically indexed entries for the attribute names used as keys in the
returned array. The numerically indexed names might or might not be lowercased,
depending on the LDAP server and PHP version) version. E.g., OpenLDAP 2.x,
Novell eDirectory 8.x and MS Active Directory return mixed-cased attribute
names, and PHP 5.x and PHP 7.x don't lowercase them inside ldap_get_entries().
This is probably why all calls to ldap_get_entries_moodle() are followed by
calls to array_change_key_case(), even if that shouldn't be necessary.
So make sure we always return lower-cased attributs as indexes and add some
unit tests to avoid regressions in the future.
Some auth plugins used to have a mix of the legacy style of plugin names
in config_plugins table (such as 'auth/mnet') and the new correct
style (such as 'auth_mnet'). Attempting to rename the setting plugin via
low level SQL UPDATE could lead to duplicate key violation.
The patch introduces a new helper function to safely migrate the old
settings to the new ones, eventually informing the admin about the
values mismatch.
This includes:
- Changing PHPUnit's bootstrap to use https://www...
- Modify all existing expectations to the new wwwroot.
- Amend some tests now with different defaults because of is_https()
- Added a note to main upgrade.php about the change.
set_user_preference and unset_user_preference let you pass the user to
set preferences for as an id. Previously, if you passed $USER->id there,
those methods did not update the Cache in $USER, which was surprising,
and not easy to debug.
Now, we always update the preference cache in $USER if the preference is
being changed for the current user.
We added 2 fields to the model and we needed to update the tests.
I also removed some error_log from the rest client (very useful while developing)
