Member Function Documentation

create_content()

testing_module_generator::create_content ( $instance, $record = array() )

inherited

Generates a piece of content for the module.

User is usually taken from global $USER variable.

Parameters

stdClass	$instance	object returned from create_instance() call
stdClass | array	$record

Return values

stdClass

generated object

Exceptions

coding_exception

if function is not implemented by module

Reimplemented in mod_book_generator, mod_forum_generator, mod_h5pactivity_generator, mod_lesson_generator, and mod_wiki_generator.

create_course_tool_types()

mod_lti_generator::create_course_tool_types

(

array

$type

)

Create a course tool type.

Parameters

array

$type

the type info.

Return values

int	ID of created tool.

Exceptions

coding_exception

if any required fields are missing.

create_instance()

mod_lti_generator::create_instance	(		$record = null,
		array	$options = null )

Creates an instance of the module for testing purposes.

Module type will be taken from the class name. Each module type may overwrite this function to add other default values used by it.

Parameters

array | stdClass	$record	data for module being generated. Requires 'course' key (an id or the full object). Also can have any fields from add module form.
null | array	$options	general options for course module. Since 2.6 it is possible to omit this argument by merging options into $record

Return values

stdClass

record from module-defined table with additional field cmid (corresponding id in course_modules table)

Reimplemented from testing_module_generator.

create_tool_proxies()

mod_lti_generator::create_tool_proxies

(

array

$config

)

Create a tool proxy.

Parameters

array

$config

create_tool_types()

mod_lti_generator::create_tool_types

(

array

$data

)

Create a tool type.

Parameters

array

$data

Return values

int	ID of created tool

get_modulename()

testing_module_generator::get_modulename ( )

inherited

Returns module name.

Return values

string

name of module that this class describes

Exceptions

coding_exception

if class invalid

get_type_and_config_from_data()

mod_lti_generator::get_type_and_config_from_data ( array $data )

protected

Split type creation data into 'type' and 'config' components, based on input array key prefixes.

The $data array contains both the type data and config data that will be passed to lti_add_type(). This must be split into two params (type, config) based on the array key prefixes ({

See also

lti_add_type()} for how the two params are handled):

• NO prefix: denotes 'type' data.
• 'lti_' prefix: denotes 'config' data.
• 'ltiservice_' prefix: denotes 'config' data, specifically config for service plugins.

Parameters

array

$data

array of type and config data containing prefixed keys.

Return values

array

containing separated objects for type and config data. E.g. ['type' = stdClass, 'config' => stdClass]

insert_files()

component_generator_base::insert_files ( stdClass $instance, stdClass $record, string $table, context $context, string $component, string $filearea, int $targetitemid )

protectedinherited

Update the instance record, inserting any files that are referenced.

Parameters

stdClass	$instance	The instance record of the already-created record
stdClass	$record	The data passed in to create the instance
string	$table	The table that the data exists in
context	$context	The context of the instance
string	$component	The component of the owning plugin
string	$filearea	The name of the file area
int	$targetitemid	The itemid to use when saving the files

Return values

stdClass

The updated instance record

post_add_instance()

testing_module_generator::post_add_instance ( $id, $cmid )

protectedinherited

Called after *_add_instance()

Since 2.6 it is recommended to use function add_moduleinfo() to create a module.

Deprecated

since 2.6

See also

testing_module_generator\create_instance()

Parameters

int	$id
int	$cmid

Return values

stdClass

module instance

precreate_course_module()

testing_module_generator::precreate_course_module ( $courseid, array $options )

protectedinherited

Create course module and link it to course.

Since 2.6 it is recommended to use function add_moduleinfo() to create a module.

Deprecated

since 2.6

See also

testing_module_generator\create_instance()

Parameters

integer	$courseid
array	$options	section, visible

Return values

integer\$cm

instance id

prepare_moduleinfo_record()

testing_module_generator::prepare_moduleinfo_record ( $record, $options )

protectedinherited

Merges together arguments $record and $options and fills default module fields that are shared by all module types.

Parameters

object | array	$record	fields (different from defaults) for this module
null | array	$options	for backward-compatibility this may include fields from course_modules table. They are merged into $record

Exceptions

coding_exception

if $record->course is not specified

reset()

testing_module_generator::reset ( )

inherited

To be called from data reset code only, do not use in tests.

Return values

void

Reimplemented from component_generator_base.

Reimplemented in mod_book_generator, mod_chat_generator, mod_data_generator, mod_forum_generator, mod_glossary_generator, mod_lesson_generator, mod_survey_generator, and mod_wiki_generator.

set_user()

component_generator_base::set_user ( ?stdClass $user = null )

protectedinherited

Set the current user during data generation.

This should be avoided wherever possible, but in some situations underlying code will insert data as the current user.

Parameters

stdClass

$user
