The current hooks system (provided by OC_Hooks) gives serious issues with testablity of the core classes, it's hard to controll the side effects of test cases caused by hooks emmited by the tested classes.
To solve this I propose to create an updated hooks system that scopes the emited events and listeners to an instance of the class emitting the event. That way any events emited by an instance of a class created for testing purposes won't cause any side effects outside the test case. A quick writeup of the proposal can be found here https://gist.github.com/icewind1991/1e315e6e75c106406405 This is not meant to completely replace the current hook system as it does not provide a 1-on-1 mapping of functionality, instead it's mind as a system to be used by any future event-emitting class (a proposal for one of those will come later :) ) The system provides an easy way to provide backwards compatiblity if a new implementation is created for a class that has existing hooks - Robin Appelman _______________________________________________ Owncloud mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/owncloud
