Hi,

In my local environment (4.0) this call work and in the QA environment doesn't work anymore. (4.1.3+)

https://mymoodle/webservice/rest/server.php?wstoken=a1114119823a4a04a5eed63c99013etc&wsfunction=core_user_create_users&moodlewsrestformat=json&users[0][firstname]=Jean-claude&users[0][lastname]=Van%20duss&users[0][email]=Jean-
claudevanduss@example.com&users[0][username]=jcvanduss&users[0][auth]=shibboleth. Before the update from 3.9 to the 4.1 the same call worked. The database is a postgres and in dev mysql.

I never seen this error or find cocumentation on it

I've also forgot that we'rer on php 8.1 on a debian.

The url get me back

exception"Error"
message'Attempt to assign property "data" on bool'

any help will be appreciate.

Thanks.

Hi,

If i use the API on the server : user_create_user it's work.

And other web services like enrol_manual_enrol_users, core_user_get_users, core_course_create_courses, ... work as usual.

I even try an IA to solve the problem but at the end it draw me a unicorn... but a nice one.

Hi Dominique,

I just tested on Moodle 4.2 with PHP 8.1 - all went well (the user was succesfully created):
$ curl --silent "http://localhost:8000/webservice/rest/server.php?moodlewsrestformat=json" --data "wstoken=6daa4693dc971f357b124ea340bea2de&wsfunction=core_user_create_users&users[0][firstname]=Jean-claude&users[0][lastname]=Van%20duss&users[0][email]=Jean-claudevanduss@example.com&users[0][username]=jcvanduss&users[0][auth]=shibboleth" | python -m json.tool
[
    {
        "id": 3,
        "username": "jcvanduss"
    }
]
I suggest you enable developer debugging and get the full stacktrace from the exception, and then go from there
