Hi Siming,

For the moment, it is limited to OpenAI's API, using GPT-4o.

Trying this in a clean Moodle 5 install and fear I may be jumping the gun.

Getting the error: Adhoc task failed: qbank_genai\task\generation_task,Error writing to database

Any ideas?

Dear Julian,

Thank you for raising this point! Indeed, an adaptation was needed regarding the feature of shared question banks introduced in Moodle 5.0. Let me know if this works for you.

Best,

Christian

Hi Christian,
The "qbank_genai“ Plugin is not functioning as expected in Moodle 4.5.2.

Steps to Reproduce:
01. Log in to Moodle v4.5.2.
02. Select any existing course.
03. Enable "Edit Mode."
04. Click "Add an activity or resource."
05. Choose the "File" option, update the necessary details, and upload a file (e.g., text.pdf).
06. Click "Save and display."
07. Disable "Edit Mode."
08. Within the course, select the "More” Dropdown and choose "Generate Questions."
09. Select the uploaded file and click "Generate Questions." button


Issue:
1. The status shows "The following generation tasks are ongoing" indefinitely and never completes.
2. Upon checking, the status indicates "error" with 9 tasks failing.
3. Only option is delete the record via database system.
DELETE FROM mdl_task_adhoc WHERE id=80;

Note: Verified the OpenAI API key and have sufficient fund so no issues on the API keys.

Logs:
Please find the detailed logs attached for your review and guidance.

Thanks

does this only fetches the content from pdf but i had created the using text and media plugin from where it is unable to find the conntent

Yes, the plugin currently only considers Files, no other activity or resource types.

Hello, I am using Moodle 4.5. I had installed this plugin and then tried to add the OpenAI API key. The given keys are generally very long. After I click save changes button, I get "Error writing to database". The debug info revealed "Data too long for column 'openaiapikey' at row 1". How to fix this?

Dear Bhanuka,

Thanks for letting me know. I wasn't aware OpenAI now issues API keys of around 165 characters.

I just released an update, please try it out.

Best,

Christian

Dear Christian,

Appreciate your quick response to fix the issue.

The plugin is working well. Big thanks for your effort.

Looking forward for the new features on this plugin.

Best Regards,
Bhanuka

Hi
I uploaded an English PDF file for the plugin to generate questions from, but after the process was completed, I discovered that the generated questions were in French instead of English.

Dear Mosaab,

Sorry to hear! The pleasures of generative AI, the prompt explicitly tells the model "Questions should be in the same language as the file content." Maybe you could retry a few times to see whether it follows this instruction at one point. If the document contains a mix of languages, this might also affect the LLM's interpretation.

Best,

Christian

Estimados
cuando instale el plugin le puse la clave API y en el aula le subi un archivo de word, cuando hago clic en Generate questions y selecciono el archivo de word me sale esto: "It seems there was a problem accessing the content of the file. Could you please provide more details or re-upload the document? If you have specific parts you'd like to focus on, let me know!" como se puede soluccionaro

Hola Claudio,

Intente tal vez con un PDF. En las semanas a venir, voy a usar la Responses API con GPT-5, pero esa al momento también solo trabaja con PDFs. Luego el plugin lastimosamente no puede hacer nada si el servicio de OpenAI tiene problemas para acceder al contenido de los archivos.

Saludos,

Christian

Dear Christian,
since the assistants api will be deprecated from August 2026 https://platform.openai.com/docs/assistants/migration , do you already plan to migrate to Responses API?
Thank you for your work.

Antonella

Dear Antonella,

This is indeed on my TODO list: https://github.com/cgrevisse/moodle-qbank_genai/issues/10
