BigBlueButton and forced no groups mode in courses - a bug in the alert?

When a course is configured with a forced "No groups" setting, the BBB activity shows an alert banner like this, which is untrue / misleading:

"The room was configured for using groups but the course does not have groups defined."

Luckily I don't force the group mode in my courses, but this appears to be a bug.

Hi Przemek Kaszubski, which version of BBB do you see this alert banner in?

3.0 (2021101008)
in Moodle 3.11.8 stable

The same also seen with the core BBB plugin version 2022041901 on Moodle Cloud ( Moodle 4.0.1 (Build: 20220509)).
Just checked my localhost install of Moodle 4.0.2 (Build: 20220711) with BBB 2022041901, and am also seeing the same in a Forced-No-groups course.

HTH,

I've seen what you've mentioned now. You're correct. A ticket is now open for this (CONTRIB-9049) to fix the alert when No groups mode is forced.
