Hi, Joseph.

Did you run this test on your own instance or on qa.moodle.net?

Michael;

@Michael
I run all tests on my own (local) moodle test site.

I've just tried this on the QA testing site and obtained the following results:

156/203 test cases complete: 5647 passes, 11 fails and 1 exceptions (reported as MDL-27983).

Just wondering why MDLQA-1017 is linked to this issue?

Ho results here, all passing are:

195/204 test cases complete: 6492 passes, 0 fails and 0 exceptions.

Also some explanations:

• Joshep, the 2 you are getting about DB are "normal" if not using one case-sensitive collation in your MySQL DB. The only case-sensitive collation available publicly is utf8_bin. I would ignore those two.

• Joshep, the 2 you are getting about backup seem related to sort of permissions problem trying to write to "/tmp/test.html". Surely that fails in Windows where that dir is not available and also in other hosts where that dir is not accesible? I'll rewrite those tests to use $CFG->dataroot/temp instead (have created MDL-28122 for that).

• Helen: the 11 you got (MDL-27983) were mainly caused by the DB not being InnoDB, so all the tests about transactions are failing there, the collation ones are dupe of Joshep's ones above and also you're missing the php_intl extension (optional) but causing some test to fail. So no problem with them either, thanks!

I'm just trying to enable portfolios and web services here to get their corresponding unit tests also executed and complete this. Back soon.

Oki, once I enabled webservices I've found these:

1) Webservice tests are really outdated (missing tons of services) and require manual hacking to make them work. I recommend creating one issue about to 100% refactor them, using custom DB tables, covering all webservices automatically... not requiring any manual setup...

2) I run them with these results:

1/1 test cases complete: 381 passes, 0 fails and 1 exceptions.

Exception: webservice/simpletest/testwebservice.php / ▶ webservice_test / ▶ testRun
Unexpected exception of type [Zend_XmlRpc_Client_FaultException] with message [Invalid external api parameter: timezone (Invalid external api parameter)] in [/Users/stronk7/git_moodle/integration/lib/zend/Zend/XmlRpc/Client.php line 370]

line 162 of /webservice/simpletest/testwebservice.php: call to webservice_test->moodle_user_update_users()

I recommend creating another issue for this too, although perhaps it's the test itself the one being outdated. It sounds to me that we added that properly (timezone) recently.

No matter of 1) and 2) I'd suggest to pass this as all the "normal" unit tests seem to be passing ok. There is some minor problem as stated in previous comments, but no one seems to be a true stopper IMO.

Ciao

Also found this MDL-28126 for immediately after 2.1.0

I've run this on a local install with mysql set to innodb and using utf_bin collation for case sensitivity on a relatively new database with one course created and one activity in it with some imported users. The first time I ran the unit tests without the course activity, it skipped tests related to course modules and said that it needed one in order to test. It passed all 189/204 tests that it ran. The second time I ran the test I believe there is a bug creating tst_capabilities table. I'll file an MDL issue for that and continue testing. Peace - Anthony

I am able to get the unit tests to all run and pass (with the exception of the webservices) stuff which I did not test. I am going to go ahead and pass this. Peace - Anthony

Besides the output listed at the bottom of the page for which I have filed MDL-28140, everything passes fine (except for web services which I did not have setup to test). Peace - Anthony
