The Redis cache store and session handler both do a 'ping()' after
connecting to Redis. This is unnecessary because the connect() call
has just checked the network connection and it's hardly likely that
the server has gone down since then.
According to my profiling, both connect() and ping() take
measurable time when talking to a separate server, i.e. a few
milliseconds. So it's not the case that connect() doesn't really
talk to the server, as I initially wondered.
If using Redis on a separate (non-localhost) server for both session
and cache store, removing these ping calls can save a millisecond
or two per request.
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:
- In lib/tests/blocklib_test.php 2 helper classes have been
moved to tests/fixtures, because they needed to be namespace-free.
We should respect the value of the PHPUNIT_LONGTEST constant in the
report source stress tests, as it was discovered after 165e26fa that
the default configuration of some CIs (GHA) was not sufficient to run
them.
Hence, use the PHPUNIT_LONGTEST to determine whether to execute said
tests. Note this constant is enabled on internal CI.
* When loading a course with the Recent Activity block the bigbluebuttonbn_print_recent_activity
takes too much time to load the logs. Using the courseid (index of log table) improves the
time taken by the query.
* Opening braces should be on the same line
* Unwanted MOODLE_INTERNAL
* Behat edit_instance.feature should use "activity editing" page locator
* Coverage indication
Calling \core_user\fields::get_sql() incerements a static uniqueid
variable. This should be called only once and not make a separate call
for the sort mapping data as it doing so will result to an incorrect
table alias for the sort mapping data.
