Moodle in English

There seems to be a major outage at the moment (see https://status.matrix.org/) which is affecting Moodle dev chat. Really, the only point of this post it to share that status page link. Hopefully they will get it sorted soon.

When I run php admin/tool/behat/cli/init.php, it runs composer for me, to ensure all the dependcies are present and up-to-date.

I think the question is: why is the code in testing_update_composer_dependencies not working for you? Perhaps add some print_object statements in there, or otherwise debug what it is doing?

To make sure I understand, are you saying that this is the problem setup:

1. In the question bank, an single question 'Test question' in 'Test category' with two versions, v1 - ready, and v2 - draft.
2. A quiz, set to pick a single random qustion from 'Test category'
3. Student attempts quiz.

Expected result: Student gets a quiz attempt with v1 of Test question.

Actual result: Error "There are not enough questions in Test category to create the question Random question (2)."

If so, that is a bug.

Here is another work-around you could use. (Though, why should you have to use work-around?)

1. When you want to do a lot of work on a question, don't just edit the real question. Instead, make a copy (either 'Duplicate', or 'Export as Moodle XML', then re-import somewhere.)
   
   
   
2. Do all your exiting and experimenting on the copy.
3. When you are finished, either manually make the final version of the change to the real question.
4. Or, install this plugin: https://moodle.org/plugins/qbank_importasversion, then you can export you finished question, and import it as a new version of the original question.
5. When you are finished, delete the temporary copy you made of the question to do you editing.
