Note: use setUp() or setUpBeforeClass() in your test cases.

Parameters
string$name
array$data
string$dataName

Member Function Documentation

◆ add_mocked_plugin()

advanced_testcase::add_mocked_plugin ( string $plugintype,
string $pluginname,
string $path )
protected

Add a mocked plugin to Moodle.

A new plugin name must be provided with a path to the plugin's root. The plugin type must already exist (or have been mocked separately).

Please note that tests calling this method must be run in separate isolation mode. Please avoid using this if at all possible.

Parameters
string$plugintypeThe name of the plugintype
string$pluginnameThe name of the plugin
string$pathThe path to the plugin's root

◆ add_mocked_plugintype()

advanced_testcase::add_mocked_plugintype ( string $plugintype,
string $path )
protected

Add a mocked plugintype to Moodle.

A new plugintype name must be provided with a path to the plugintype's root.

Please note that tests calling this method must be run in separate isolation mode. Please avoid using this if at all possible.

Parameters
string$plugintypeThe name of the plugintype
string$pathThe path to the plugintype's root

◆ assertDebuggingCalled()

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

Assert that exactly debugging was just called once.

Discards the debugging message if successful.

Parameters
null | string$debugmessagenull means any
null | string$debuglevelnull means any
string$message

◆ assertdebuggingcalledcount()

advanced_testcase::assertdebuggingcalledcount ( $expectedcount,
$debugmessages = [],
$debuglevels = [],
$message = '' )

Asserts how many times debugging has been called.

Parameters
int$expectedcountThe expected number of times
array$debugmessagesExpected debugging messages, one for each expected message.
array$debuglevelsExpected debugging levels, one for each expected message.
string$message
Return values
void

◆ assertDebuggingNotCalled()

advanced_testcase::assertDebuggingNotCalled ( $message = '')

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
