Populate the scheduler date fields for content created by Devel Generate

Here are a couple of screen shots. The first shows the top of the devel form with the content-type table extended with a new column displaying the scheduler settings.

The second shows the bottom of the form, where the user can input the percentage of nodes to get the date added. 0 will do no dates, 100 will add a date for all nodes. Any percentage between will be compared with a random number betwwen 1-100 to decide if the date is added.

Patch is attached but there are no tests for this specific new code.

I have now written tests to cover this new functionality.

The devel_generate module was not available. Added the following to .info

test_dependencies:
  - devel:devel_generate

I am guessing the project is 'devel' and the module is 'devel_generate'. Let's see ...

So, according to the outcome of #2692407: Test_dependencies are downloaded before applying patches, rather than after the main dependencies and test dependencies are not re-evaluated after a patch is applied, so we cannot add dependencies via a patch. Needs to be committed to a branch. That's not good as I cannot test if the dependency syntax is correct before committing the change.

Here is the commit to add test_dependency

Now that I have committed the test_dependency changes I can see the following in the test log

DCI_AdditionalRepositories=git,git://git.drupal.org/project/scheduler.git,8.x-1.x,modules/scheduler,1;git,git://git.drupal.org/project/rules.git,8.x-3.0-alpha3,modules/rules,1;git,git://git.drupal.org/project/typed_data.git,8.x-1.0-alpha1,modules/typed_data,1;git,git://git.drupal.org/project/devel.git,8.x-1.0-rc2,modules/devel,1;

so it looks like devel should be available now.

New tests pass :-)
Committed and completed. I have wanted this addition in my own test/dev sites for a while. Hope it helps others too.

Unassigning.
