I created a class called block_type, and when running the code checker, I received the following error message:
global $PAGE cannot be used in block classes. Use $this->page.
Steps to reproduce:
Create a block class (e.g., block_type).
Try using global $PAGE within the class.
Run the code checker.
Expected behavior:
The code checker should allow the use of global $PAGE in appropriate contexts or provide a clearer message on how to adjust the code.
Current behavior:
The checker throws an error suggesting the use of $this->page without adequately explaining the situations where this should be applied.
Environment:
Moodle version: 4.3
Local Code Checker version: 2024070500
Possible solution:
It would be helpful to review the checker's logic to recognize the context where global $PAGE might be necessary or to better document when $this->page should be used.
