Invalid Response, Invalid Response Value Detected in course overview (myoverview) block

We have one user who cannot see his courses on his dashboard's Course Overview (myoverview) block. HIs courses show up fine in the navigation tree and he can access them fine.

Both when he accesses his dashboard or when we login as him an error appears, "Invalid Response, Invalid Response Value Detected" and no courses are displayed in the block.  

Turning debugging on shows now additional info.

Moodle 3.6.5+ (Build: 20190816)

If someone can tell me where the query is that is generating the course list I'll test that out. But I can't find anything in the plugin that suggests which query is run.

Thanks for asking. It may have been some bad data in the course start date field. This is what I did (quoting our internal ticket).

Just tested changing the filter from "all" to the others.

All - fails
In progress - works, shows 3 courses (practice site, moodle 101, fmr)
future - fails
past - works (none shown)

hidden and starred work.

So it's related to displaying his "regular" courses. Interesting.

So then I changed each one of his regular courses to have a start date before today, so it became "In progress", and refreshed the dashboard.

With each change "In progress" showed the course listed, no error.

After changing all the course start dates and then changing them back, now his dashboard works just fine. My best guess is something was strange with one of the dates on one of the courses and me re-saving the course settings (or changing the start date -- can't be sure) caused the data to be fixed.

Hi! I have the same exact problem. We migrated our data from MoodleCloud into our own server and this error pops out. We tried changing the dates but debugging says:

Error code: invalidparameter
* line 349 of \lib\externallib.php: invalid_parameter_exception thrown
* line 223 of \lib\externallib.php: call to external_api::validate_parameters()
* line 79 of \lib\ajax\service.php: call to external_api::call_external_function()
