      Prerequisites for testing

      1. Copy the test.php file to the root folder of the moodle project.

      Steps to test

      1. Login as admin
      2. Append '/test.php' to the $CFG->wwwroot (you may get the $CFG->wwwroot from the config.php) and access it from your browser.
        For instance if you access moodle using http://localhost/moodle, then access it by http://localhost/moodle/test.php
      3. You should see error notification and strack trace. In the output buffer you should see message: The function print_error() is deprecated. This has been replaced with throw new moodle_exception()

    • QA time 2, 4.1 holding pattern, 4.1 deprecations and cleaning

      In MDL-69936 it was agreed to deprecate print_error() and switch to throw moodle_exception() instead.

      This issue is about to proceed with such deprecation in core. Should cover the following aspects:

      • Decide the target for the deprecation (3.11 or 4.0).
      • Comment about the outcome @ codechecker #137(https://github.com/moodlehq/moodle-local_codechecker/issues/137) , so the deprecation warning can be created then.
      • Apply the standard deprecation policy (debugging, move to deprecatedlib...).
      • Remove all uses from core.
      • Create the phase2 deprecation (final removal) issue, scheduled for the standard 2 years, but with a explicit call about to re-evaluate the situation in plugins when that time arrives. If there are many plugins still using print_error() we may need to delay the removal.
      • Also comment about the outcome @ codechecker #137(https://github.com/moodlehq/moodle-local_codechecker/issues/137) once the final removal happens (so the function is moved from the Deprecation Sniff to the Forbidden one).

      Ciao
