The enabled state of a plugin is a tri-state value (boolean or
null). We should be consistent with elsewhere by only considering
boolean false as an actually disabled plugin.
See also cdcb53a1 for similar change in task management.
Allow adhoc tasks to implement this method, so they too can have
descriptive names for themselves. Default implementation added to
return the class name itself.
This patch modifies the way copy data is shared in order to mitigate potential race conditions
and ensure that the serialised controller stored in the DB is always in a valid state.
The restore controller is now considered the "source of truth" for all information about the
copy operation. Backup controllers can no longer contain information about course copies.
As copy creation is not atomic, it is still possible for copy controllers to become orphaned or
exist in an invalid state. To mitigate this the backup cleanup task has been modified to call
a new helper method copy_helper::cleanup_orphaned_copy_controllers.
Summary of changes in this patch:
- Copy data must now be passed through the restore controller's constructor
- base_controller::get_copy has been deprecated in favour of restore_controller::get_copy
- base_controller::set_copy has been deprecated without replacement
- core_backup\copy\copy has been deprecated, use copy_helper.class.php's copy_helper instead
- backup_cleanup_task will now clean up orphaned controllers from copy operations that went awry
Thanks to Peter Burnett for assiting with testing this patch.
This patch changes the way adhoc tasks are chosen to run. It now calculates
how many runners each type of adhoc task should be allowed to use. In the
case that not all the runners are utilised, it attempts to infer which
tasks do not take a long time to run, and gives those to the vacant runners.
Thanks to Brendan Heywood for guidance and SQL help.
When "Path to PHP CLI" is not defined, an exception with the message
in cannotfindthepathtothecli should be displayed, and the page should
be redirected to System paths settings page.
Apart from that, this patch also replaced core_task to tool_task,
because this message wasn't traslated properly.
Use scheduled_task crontab field verification in
admin/tool/task to unify how Moodle deals with
crontab definition and its verification.
This helps remove duplicated code and fix
crontab definition not allowed in the web form,
but actually was valid.
Updated crontab fields precision on task_scheduled
table to have enough room for the worst case:
all possible different values separated by comma.
- Create new web services for manage subscription (Update calendar subscription)
- Modified delete subscription feature to use Web service.
- Midified update subscription feature to use in-place editbale
- Delete subscription feature now have a confirmation box before processing.
- Fixed some accessibility issues
- Used 'Delete' instead of 'Remove' for deleting subscriptions
When defining settings that are used by scheduled tasks,
it is also useful, or even needed, to know the status
of that scheduled task to have the whole big picture of
that part of the system.
Based on the admin_setting_description, this new setting
reports its name, its status, a link to the configuration.
When adding a new setting of this type, the user can add
an extra description field to complete the whole meaning.
The machinery to fix orphaned calendar events that were broken by MDL-67494.
The solution consists of:
1) Upgrade step that checks if this site has executed the problematic upgrade steps and
if positive, it will schedule a new run for calendar_fix_orphaned_events adhoc task.
2) Adhoc task that will self-spawn calling the recovery machinery, running until
all the orphaned calendar events are fixed. It also sets the maximum runtime of
60 seconds. It is also possible to override that number by specifing the desired
number setting the ->calendareventsmaxseconds in your config.php
3) CLI script that will look for all the calendar events which userids
where broken by a wrong upgrade step, affecting to Moodle 3.9.5
and up.
It performs checks to both:
a) Detect if the site was affected (ran the wrong upgrade step).
b) Look for orphaned calendar events, categorising them as:
- standard: site / category / course / group / user events
- subscription: events created via subscriptions.
- action: normal action events, created to show common important dates.
- override: user and group override events, particular, that some activities support.
- custom: other events, not being any of the above, common or particular.
By specifying it (--fix) try to recover as many broken events (missing userid) as
possible. Standard, subscription, action, override events in core are fully supported but
override or custom events should be fixed by each plugin as far as there isn't any standard
API (plugin-wise) to launch a rebuild of the calendar events.
4) Unit tests and helper functions to generate calendar events. We have decided to
keep the tests simple, testing only true and false and not using data generators because
the code is purely to recover the calendar events and won't turn into an API or something
and also due to the urgency of this issue.
The helpers have been created in calendar/tests/helpers.php since there are no data generators
for calendar.
This class would belong more appropriately within the 'user' API
(core_user) instead of within the 'core' API, since it is
directly related to user data.
Since the class has only just been added to Moodle, now is a good
time to move it.
In all cases changes have been kept to a minimum while not making
the code completely horrible. For example, there are many instances
where it would probably be better to rewrite a query entirely, but
I have not done that (in order to reduce the risk of changes).
When a given user doesn't have the capability to "Include user data"
during course copying, freeze the form element rather than not adding
it at all.
This caused problems as the element was required before preceding with
the course copy.
