      Notes

      • All the tests must be done with PHP 8.1.
      • The need to be performed with both MOODLE_401_STABLE and master.
      • The test requires removing some plugins.
      • DEBUG DEVELOPER and display errors should be enabled.

      Before the patch (without the changes applied). Reproduce the problem.

      Manually, remove the plugin folder from code (for example the mod/chat), but do not uninstall the plugin.
      It should show as "missing from disk" on the Plugins overview page.

      Logged in as admin visit http://your_site_url/admin/search.php
      Go to the role page from Site administration > Users > Define roles.
      Edit any role (for example, Teacher).
      Scroll down to see the capabilities.
      Verify that you see "Deprecated: file_exists(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($filename) of type string is deprecated" warnings.

      After the patch (with the changes). Confirm the fix.
      Ensure that you still have plugins "missing" on your site.
