Testing and QA

Hi Joseph,

Ditto!!  Especially the reluctant part.

I have been trying to make the File System Repository work all afternoon.  Either I am missing something or there is a bug.  I am testing Moodle 2.0 Preview 4+ (Build: 20100914).

Here are the steps I followed:

1. I determined that only the Admin can setup the File System repository.
2. Using FTP I created two new folders in Moodledata/repository called "test_course" and "Site_Files".
3. I logged into my site as the Admin
4. Under Site administration > Pluggins > Repositories I set File system to "Enabled and visible".
5. Under File system > Settings I checked Allow users to add a repository instance into the course  and Allow users to add a repository instance into the user context.
6. Under Repositories instances I clicked Create a repository instance and typed a reference name and using the dropdown menu I selected Site_Files and saved the selection.  Back under Repositories I could see that I had 1 common instance (this means that the Site_Files folder may be available in all courses).
7. Under Site administration > Users > Permissions > Define Roles, I edited the editing Teacher role to allow the teacher to view the File system Repository.
8. Still logged in as the administrator, I opened the Test Course.
9. Under Settings > Course Administration > Repositories I clicked <Create "File system" instance>
10. I named the instance and selected "test_course" from the dropdown menu then saved the instance.  Later I revised the Pluggins > Repositories > file system and found that I now had 1 "Private Instance".  So I found that when you define the File System instance from inside a course, it is a Private Instance that can be seen only in that course.
11. Unable to find any other settings for the File System Repository, I decided it was time to test it.
12. I logged in as the editing Teacher and turned the editor ON.
13. I edited a topic section and opened the html editor.
14. I clicked the "Incert an Image" icon and the File Picker opened.
15. The site wide File System instance (folder) that I called Site_Files was available and I could access files that I had ftp'd to the folder.
16. The "Test_Course" folder DOES NOT appear in the File Picker.

I can't find any other settings for this so unless someone can tell me how to turn on the File System "Private Instance" files, I assume there must be a bug in the system.
