Member Function Documentation

◆ assert_select_options()

question_testcase::assert_select_options	(		$expectation,
			$html )

Use this function rather than assert when checking the value of options within a select element.

Parameters

question_contains_select_expectation	$expectation	The select expectation class
string	$html	The rendered output to check against

◆ assertDebuggingCalled()

advanced_testcase::assertDebuggingCalled	(	$debugmessage = null,
		$debuglevel = null,
		$message = '' )

inherited

Assert that exactly debugging was just called once.

Discards the debugging message if successful.

Parameters

null \| string	$debugmessage	null means any
null \| string	$debuglevel	null means any
string	$message

◆ assertDebuggingCalledCount()

advanced_testcase::assertDebuggingCalledCount	(	$expectedcount,
		$debugmessages = array(),
		$debuglevels = array(),
		$message = '' )

inherited

Asserts how many times debugging has been called.

Parameters

int	$expectedcount	The expected number of times
array	$debugmessages	Expected debugging messages, one for each expected message.
array	$debuglevels	Expected debugging levels, one for each expected message.
string	$message

Return values

void

◆ assertDebuggingNotCalled()

advanced_testcase::assertDebuggingNotCalled ( $message = '' )

inherited

Call when no debugging() messages expected.

Parameters

string $message

◆ assertEqualsIgnoringWhitespace()

base_testcase::assertEqualsIgnoringWhitespace	(		$expected,
			$actual,
		string	$message = '' )

inherited

Assert that two Date/Time strings are equal.

The strings generated by DateTime, strtotime, date, time, etc. are generated outside of our control. From time-to-time string changes are made. One such example is from ICU 72.1 which changed the time format to include a narrow-non-breaking-space (U+202F) between the time and AM/PM.

We should not update our tests to match these changes, as it is not our code that is generating the strings and they may change again. In addition, the changes are not equal amongst all systems as they depend on the version of ICU installed.

Parameters

string	$expected
string	$actual
string	$message
