      1. Create a 2.2 Moodle site and a course
      2. Set debugging mode on, don't be scared of all these messages everywhere
      3. Enable completion tracking and conditional access
      4. Add couple of assignment module instances
      5. Add a couple of forums, each one requiring one of the assignments created above to be completed (set a grade requirement for example) as a restrict access condition
      6. Would be worth to backup the database at this stage because you have to repeat the test for more than one version
      7. Upgrade moodle
      8. Access the course
      9. You SHOULD not see any error regarding unexisting activities
      10. Click to edit the forums settings, in restricted access, see that the assignments are linked as conditions
      11. Move to admin/tool/assignmentupgrade/index.php and list the not upgraded assignments
      12. Press upgrade all assignments and on the next page "Continue"
      13. The process SHOULD finish as expected without any error
      14. Move to the course (you have a link in the results page)
      15. You should have as many assignments as you created in step #4
      16. Click on the assignment activities, they SHOULD work as usual
      17. Click to edit the forum activities, in restrict access section, the conditions SHOULD point to the current assignment modules ids and, in the list you SHOULD only see as many options as activities you created in #4 and #5

      In 2.7 and in 2.8 when upgrading 2.2 assignments you will get the following error:

      The assignment conversion was not successful. The log from the upgrade was:
      Could not convert assignment. Exception was: Coding error detected, it must be fixed by a programmer: Missing or invalid ->cm for completion condition.

      If you go to the course where the assignment is at and turn editing on you will see something like this:

      Error processing availability data for ‘A412 Advanced IQE Equipment Training Certificate’: Missing or invalid ->cm for completion condition

      This is happening because there is a certificate in the course with restrictions based on the old 2.2 assignments and the code is not updating the cmid for the restrictions in the database for that certificate. The only way we have found to get around it is to upgrade the assignment ONE AT A TIME and then edit and save the certificate in between each. This is a lot of work when there are over 2000 of the old assignment types to upgrade and many certificates that are restricted based on them.
