Find a question, and where it is, from the question name.

This is a helper used by resolve_page_instance_url.

i_add_a_question_filling_the_form_with($questiontypename, TableNode $questiondata)   X-Ref
Creates a question in the current course questions bank with the provided data.
This step can only be used when creating question types composed by a single form.

the_state_of_question_is_shown_as($questiondescription, $state)   X-Ref
Checks the state of the specified question.

param: string $questiondescription
param: string $state

i_action_the_question($action, $questionname)   X-Ref

param: string $action the label for the action you want to activate.
param: string $questionname the question name.

action_exists($action, $questionname)   X-Ref
Checks that action does exist for a question.

param: string $questionname the question name.

action_not_exists($action, $questionname)   X-Ref

change_question_to_nonexistant_type($questionname)   X-Ref
Change the question type of the give question to a type that does not exist.

This is useful for testing robustness of the code when a question type
has been uninstalled, even though there are still questions of that type
or attempts at them.

In order to set things up, you probably need to start by generating
questions of a valid type, then using this to change the type once the
data is created.

param: string $questionname the question name.

remove_question_from_db($questionname)   X-Ref
Forcibly delete a question from the database.

This is useful for testing robustness of the code when a question
record is no longer in the database, even though it is referred to.
Obviously, this should never happen, but it has been known to in the past
and so we sometimes need to be able to test the code can handle this situation.

In order to set things up, you probably need to start by generating
a valid questions, then using this to remove it once the data is created.

param: string $questionname the question name.
