The methods assertContains() and assertNotContains() now perform
strict (type and value) comparison, pretty much like assertSame()
does.
A couple of new assertContainsEquals() and assertNotContainsEquals()
methods have been created to provide old (non-strict) behavior, pretty
much like assertEquals() do.
Apart from replacing the calls needing a relaxed comparison to those
new methods, there are also a couple of alternative, about how to
fix this, depending of every case:
- If the test is making any array_values() conversion, then it's better
to remove that conversion and use assertArrayHasKey(), that is not
strict.
- Sometimes if may be also possible to, simply, cast the expectation
to the exact type coming in the array. I've not applied this technique
to any of the cases in core.

The optional parameters of assertEquals() and assertNotEquals()
are deprecated in PHPUnit 8 (to be removed in PHPUnit 9):
- delta => use assertEqualsWithDelta()
- canonicalize => use assertEqualsCanonicalizing()
- ignoreCase => use assertEqualsIgnoringCase
- maxDepth => removed without replacement.
More info @ https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpunit/issues/3341
Initial search done with:
ag 'assert(Not)?Equals\(.*,.*,' --php
Then, running tests and fixing remaining cases.
Both assertContains() and assertNotContains() are deprecated in PHPUnit 8
for operations on strings. Also the optional case parameter is. All uses
must be changed to one of:
- assertStringContainsString()
- assertStringContainsStringIgnoringCase()
- assertStringNotContainsString()
- assertStringNotContainsStringIgnoringCase()
More info: https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpunit/issues/3422
Regexp to find all uses:
ag 'assert(Not)?Contains\('
With PHPUnit 8 a good number of assertions, all them related with
operations on non-public attributes have been deprecated. And will
be removed with PHPUnit 9.
The main point is that unit tests shouldn't be testing non-public
APIs (good practice) and those assertions were an error originally.
See https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpunit/issues/3338 for
the complete list and other details.
When possible (the attributes being checked are public), the change
is simple, just switching to normal assertions.
When the attributes are not public we need to find a workaround
to be able to test the same using public APIs, or use Reflection,
or remove the tests.
For the records, this is the regexp used to find all the cases:
ag '>(assertAttribute|attribute\(|readAttributte|getStaticAttribute| \
getObjectAttribute)' -G "test.php"
While this is not strictly required, because removal will
happen in PHPUnit 9.0, we are already getting rid of all
uses in core.
From release notes:https://phpunit.de/announcements/phpunit-8.html
The annotations `@expectedException`, `@expectedExceptionCode`,
`@expectedExceptionMessage`, and `@expectedExceptionMessageRegExp`
are now deprecated.
Using these annotations will trigger a deprecation warning
in PHPUnit 8 and in PHPUnit 9 these annotations will be removed.
Also, all uses of expectExceptionMessageRegExp() has been moved
to expectExceptionMessageMatches(). See https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpunit/issues/3957
TODO: Various weirdness found while doing the changes with these tests:
- vendor/bin/phpunit lib/tests/exporter_test.php (created MDL-69700)
- vendor/bin/phpunit competency/tests/external_test.php (same issue than prev one)
- vendor/bin/phpunit question/engine/tests/questionengine_test.php (created MDL-69624)
- vendor/bin/phpunit lib/tests/event_test.php (created MDL-69688)
All the setup/teardown/pre/post/conditions template methods
now are required to return void. This was warned with phpunit 7
and now is enforced.
At the same time, fix a few wrong function names,
provider data and param types, return statements...
This change enables the gherkinlint rule to require a new line at the
end of the file. This change is in keeping with existing Moodle coding
style guidelines.
* moved the logic from core_message_popup_render_navbar_output to
message_popup_render_navbar_output in message/output/popup/lib.php
* using float: left instead of float: right in theme
With the deprecation of can_post_message() in favor of
can_send_message() all the new test_can_send_message_xxx()
were created from the original test_can_post_message_xxx() ones.
So, really we don't need all the old ones. Just ensure that
debugging is being called and done. New tests are already covering
the new method.
Note this is not strictly needed but in practice is allowing
MySQL + PHP 7.3 to stop segfaulting (because of some sort of limit /
overflow happening somewhere else). So this is just a practical
fix to avoid that while all the messaging tests are reorganizaed
@ MDL-63670. There are some good things to fix there.
It is possible that before this patch the user blocked a
teacher from messaging them, even though this would have
no effect. It is also possible for a user to block a user,
then that user gets 'promoted' to a teacher role and the
block becoming ineffective. In these cases we dont show the
user's status as blocked.
If blocking will have no effect (ie. you are attempting to block
the admin) the 'Block' button will not be shown and instead a
message will be shown explaining why you can not block the user.
Also, added WS new return parameter candeletemessagesforallusers in get_conversation
and send_instant_message and added API support. This will be used to check
if the user can delete all messages in the conversation.
