Moodle in English: Invalid repository id

Weird error.

I created a book on a course and i got a big error message. "Error code: invalidrepositoryid" cant access that course anymore, always get that error.

However, I tried to create a "book" in another course and all went smooth. It works and i can't reproduce this error again...

I need to recover the course without losing its contents so deleting it is out of the question... I've been on the database looking around and i can't figure out which repository id is bugging.

I haven't touched repositories for a long time... and a book isn't a repository... The only custom repository i have is working properly.

here's the error messagem:

Debug info:
Error code: invalidrepositoryid

Stack trace:

Re: Invalid repository id

Ok so i fixed the problem with the help of "dobedobedoh" from IRC channel #moodle at freenode.

first we found which ID was the faulty repository. I went to file repository/lib.php and added a var_dump($repositoryid); before line 590.

This tells me which ID was faulty and it happened to be ID 9.

I logged in on phpmyadmin and checked the repository table. There was no repository id 9.

next we tried to find out which file was causing the error.

Headed to lib/filestorage/stored_file.php and in line 65 added

if ($file_record->repositoryid == 9) { print_object($file_record); }

this would let me know exactly which file was causing the error and it happned to be a file I uploaded using the dropbox repository. I wasn't using this repository anymore but apparently the database still had the reference to that file.

again, jumped in the database and checked the files_reference table and there it was. I deleted that record and everything is fine gain.

hope this helps to whoever has a similar problem. And once again thanks to dobedobedoh.
