Grade scale test fails with Oracle

XMLWordPrintable

      The test introduced, with the introduction of single point grade items, in MDL-16474 fails because, when the newly created grade item is instantiated, there is an access to the database to find a pre-existing grade item with the same provided values and a fetch to fill in the values that were not provided. Although this fetch is not needed in this case, it would normally not be a problem, except that in Oracle where there are some string comparisons that take place.

      The real problem (and perhaps we should consider solving that separately) is that the grade item code blindly combines the provided values into a query, without considering the types of each value. The result is a query that compares strings to CLOBs in Oracle.

      The simple fix in this case is to avoid the fetch when the grade item is instantiated, and this can be done by adding a parameter to the instantiation call.

      lib/grade/tests/grade_scale_test.php, line 164

              $grade_item = new grade_item($grade_item, false);
      

      For reference, here is the unit test output that sparked this search.
