Hotpot shows error "cannotexecduringupgrade" when upgrading to the latest version

Hello everybody,

I've been reading this forum for several years, but it's the first time that I post here, because until now I have always found a solution already shared by somebody here.

I have just upgraded my Moodle from 2.6 to 3.5

I had the mod_hotpot2013121790 that didn't update during the process because of configuration issue with the certificate needed to check the updates.

Now I'm trying to upgrade it to mod_hotpot_moodle36_2018120832, but I get the error pasted below.

Could somebody help me with this issue?

Thanks in advance

Hi Ernst,
looks like your Moodle was stuck halfway through an update.

If I were you, I would do this:

  1. move, or remove, the "mod/hotpot" folder and try the upgrade again
    I expect the upgrade will succeed, in which case ..
  2. Replace, or restore, the "mod/hotpot" folder, and try the upgrade again
    I expect that will succeed too smile

Please try the above and let me know what happens.

Ernst,
I investigated this issue a little more deeply, and I think I have located the source of the problem.

Please could you upgrade your HotPot module, either from the plugins repository on Moodle.org, or from github.com, and try the upgrade again.

Thanks approve
Gordon

Hi Gordon,

Wow, I'm really impressed! Many, many thanks for fixing this issue so quickly!

I have launched the upgrade automatically with the new version 36_20190121 that you have just released and it has worked like a charm! Everything perfect!

I still cannot believe that you could find the exact issue with the little information that I gave you :D

Thanks again!
