      Note: I recommend to use MDK for this test. It's much easier.

      Testing scenario 1 - New installation

      1. Open a terminal
      2. Create a Moodle instance 

        mdk create -t -i -n moodleinstancename

      3. Go to Site 'Administration | Advanced Features'
        • CONFIRM there is an 'Enable users to message anyone' setting and it's unchecked
        • CONFIRM the default value for it is 'False'

      Testing scenario 2 - Normal upgrade (with $CFG->messaging = true)

      1. Uninstall your Moodle instance 

        mdk uninstall -y

      2. Check a weekly release before this patch:
        • master 

          git checkout 6e2e63457efc2a5f2ef93d981c39a728f4470cb3

      3. Install the site: 

        mdk install

      4. Check out the Moodle version we're testing:

      5. git checkout master

      6. Upgrade your site 

        mdk upgrade

        • CONFIRM that the upgrade is a success and that you don't see any error messages
      7. Go to Site 'Administration | Advanced Features'
        • CONFIRM there is an 'Enable users to message anyone' setting and it's checked

       

      Testing scenario 3 - Normal upgrade (with $CFG->messaging = false)

      Add a new setting ($CFG->messagingallusers) to the existing message settings in advanced features. For new installations it should default to false; for existing instances, it will have the same value as $CFG.>messaging.

      This new privacy option will allow the users configure who can contact them. When $CFG->messagingallusers is enabled, a new option 'Anyone on this site' will appear; otherwise, users will be able to decide only between 'Only my contacts' or 'My contacts and anyone who shares a course with me'.
