Asserts that the returned documents have the expected titles (regardless of order).

param: string[] $expected List of expected document titles
param: \core_search\document[] $results List of returned documents

test_get_supported_orders_relevance_only()   X-Ref
Tests the get_supported_orders function for contexts where we can only use relevance
(system, category).


test_get_supported_orders_relevance_and_location()   X-Ref
Tests the get_supported_orders function for contexts where we support location as well
(course, activity, block).


test_ordering()   X-Ref
Tests ordering by relevance vs location.

Tests with bogus content (that can be entered into Moodle) to see if it crashes.


create_search_record($courseid, $contextid, $title, $content)   X-Ref
Adds a record to the mock search area, so that the search engine can find it later.

param: int $courseid Course id
param: int $contextid Context id

param: string $content Content for search index

test_deleted_contexts_and_courses()   X-Ref
Tries out deleting data for a context or a course.


test_add_document_batch()   X-Ref
Specific test of the add_document_batch function (also used in many other tests).


test_batching()   X-Ref
Tests the batching logic, specifically the limit to 100 documents per
batch, and not batching very large documents.


test_add_document_batch_large()   X-Ref
Tests with large documents. The point of this test is that we stop batching
documents if they are bigger than 1MB, and the maximum batch count is 100,
so the maximum size batch will be about 100 1MB documents.


assert_raw_solr_query_result(string $q, array $expected)   X-Ref
Carries out a raw Solr query using the Solr basic query syntax.

This is used to test data contained in the index without going through Moodle processing.

param: string $q Search query
param: string[] $expected Expected titles of results, in alphabetical order
