Testing Instructions:

Hide

For all these tests, repeat with CLI upgrade and upgrade through the web-browser.

1. Upgrade your Moodle. Make sure the dependency info appears on the plugin-check page, and that then the upgrade works.

2. Test a clean install to ensure there are no regressions.

3. Test an upgrade from a Moodle 2.1 install to make sure there are no regressions.

4. Check that admin/plugins.php and admin/environment.php pages still work.

5. Edit some version.php files to test upgrades with problems. For example,
a. try making mod/forum require a non-existant filter_frog, or something
b. or make a plugin depend on a Moodle version or another plugin version in the future.
Make sure that the plugin-check page shows the problem and refuses to let you upgrade.

Description

The plan is to add a new option in version.php:

$plugin->dependencies = array(

    'mod_quiz' => 2011090100,

    'qtype_pmatch' => ANY_VERSION,

);
