      Prerequisites:
      You need an install without the en_AU.UTF-8 locale. I found this slightly tricky to do - ubuntu installs all the english variants by default and hard to get rid of it. So did it with a debian stable expert install, ensuring that I did not select the en_AU locale, only en_GB. If you've already got a debian stable install you can probably get rid of it by doing sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales and unselected en_au.
      You can check installed locales with locale -a

      Testing instuctions

      1. Run php admin/tool/phpunit/cli/init.php and vendor/bin/phpunit core_phpunit_advanced_testcase lib/phpunit/tests/advanced_test.php
      2. VERIFY both fails with: 

        Moodle PHPUnit environment configuration error:
        		 
        Required locale 'en_AU.UTF-8' is not installed.

      3. sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales and select the 'en_AU.UTF-8' locale
      4. Verify phpunit runs as normal
      5. Regression test: run phpunit on windows and ensure it passes

    Description

      MDL-49684 revamped timezone support (yay). According to the commit message "phpunit has Australia/Perth as default timezone." I don't think this is working. Starting with 2.9 I'm getting 1800+ warnings like this one:

      1) qtype_numerical_attempt_upgrader_test::test_numerical_deferredfeedback_history620
      Warning: unexpected change of locale

      /var/www/moodle/htdocs/lib/phpunit/classes/util.php:272
      /var/www/moodle/htdocs/lib/phpunit/classes/advanced_testcase.php:125

      To re-run:
      vendor/bin/phpunit qtype_numerical_attempt_upgrader_test question/type/numerical/tests/upgradelibnewqe_test.php

      I'm seeing this in instances where Moodle and PHPUnit have been installed from the command line. The locale on these systems is en_US.UTF-8.
