More information about this error

I've not seen this one before.

Has anyone come across this before? Or have any idea what is causing it/how to resolve it?


Cheers.

I too am finding this error with restored backups moved from Moodle 2.4.3 (Build: 20130318) to Moodle 3.0.3 (Build: 20160314). Only seems to be happening with some assignments through.

The answer seems to have been staring me in the face. "core_grading/invalid_method_name" We were using Marcus Green's BTEC marking method on Moodle 2.4 however when moving to 3.0 we had not installed the grading method. 

Adding the courses and assignments with the method set to "Simple Direct Marking" rectified the problem. 

Now to install the grading method within 3.0 and see if it fixes the error. 

Will update the post after testing.
