Thanks to MDL-49398, we can separate the combined user session and role
definition cache clearing function into two separate functions. At the
same time, we want to identify and remove mark_dirty() calls that were
added for role definition changes but were incorrectly left behind.
Change highlights:
- Remove unnecessary mark_dirty() calls performed after
assign_capability(), unassign_capability(), delete_role(),
deleted contexts, brand new contexts
- Move role definition cache clear from the user-centric
accesslib_clear_all_caches() to the newly created,
role-dedicated accesslib_reset_role_cache()
Before this patch, we only checked that the given provider has been
configured in the user or system preferences. However, if the provider's
component is disabled, it does not even appear in these preferences.
Additionally, there was no check that the message / notification
provider is among providers allowed to be consumed by the recipient.
The patch checks that the message origin is among providers returned by
the message_get_providers_for_user() so disabled plugins can't act as
sources of messages and users can't receive messages from providers they
do not have capability for. This mitigates the risk of abusing a plugin
as a source of spam, for example.
Unit test is fixed and extended. When the $CFG->messaging is disabled,
no messages between users should be sent (I can't understand why the
unit test was written in an opposite way). Added assertions for the
raised debugging message.
It's possible the '\core\message\message' object has a null value
for the 'courseid' which is used in \core\message\manager::send_message().
Make sure we compensate for this.
Also deprecated the following functions -
1. message_move_userfrom_unread2read - It is not necessary
for us to mark a message as read on user deletion.
2. message_get_blocked_users - Horrible logic used to
determine if a user is blocked via reference on some
randomly chosen 'isblocked' variable.
3. message_get_contacts - The same as above. This can be
done in a much nicer way.
4. message_mark_message_read - We want two functions to do
this to avoid confusing messages and notifications.
5. message_can_delete_message - This assumed the variable
$message contained the 'useridto' property, which
was present in the old table structure. We do not want
future usages where a query is done on the new table
and is simply passed as this won't contain this property.
6. message_delete_message - Same as above.
We are changing how the API behaves so the old tables will never
be populated. This unit test is testing a deprecated function
which we will not be refactoring to use the new table structure.
The new recordset support for Postgres requires transactions and
will cause errors if recordsets are not closed correctly. This
commit fixes problems that were identified during unit tests, and
via some basic code analysis, across all core code. Most of these
are incorrect usage of recordset (forgetting to close them).
This change considers all existing search areas in Moodle and makes
necessary changes.
Custom change to course search, supported by helper in base.php:
* course/classes/search/mycourse.php
Custom change to message search:
* message/classes/search/message_received.php
* message/classes/search/message_sent.php
Custom change to user search:
* user/classes/search/user.php
Custom changes to module areas, supported by helper in base_mod.php:
* mod/book/classes/search/chapter.php
* mod/data/classes/search/entry.php
* mod/forum/classes/search/post.php
* mod/glossary/classes/search/entry.php
* mod/survey/classes/search/activity.php
* mod/wiki/classes/search/collaborative_page.php
(Note: the unit tests do not exhaustively check every context type
for these, given that's mainly handled by the helper function
which was already tested in the base_activity test.)

Make indexing of user messages tolerant to user deletion.
When creating the search document for user messages,
add a check to see if the user has been deleted in the
system. If they have been deleted abort creating the search
document.
This is to avoid rasining an error when trying to get the
user context for a deleted user.
If there was no conversation found and the method returned early, the
active transaction was not marked as committable and the error was
reported by the request shutdown handler.
Attaching a unit test for the case just because it did not seem to be
covered. I was trying to reproduce the thrown error in the unit test but
it can't be used in this case. The shutdown handler puts the warning
directly into the error_log and it is not guaranteed where such messages
go (depending on the PHP configuration). And we do not even raise it
during the unit test execution (presumably due to noise it would
produce) anyway.
