Hi Prof JC,
Thank you for VPL - it is a very significant achievement and very important to those of us trying to teach remotely during the pandemic.
I have added a custom vpl_evaluate.sh to a VPL activity, that generates a vpl_execute that checks the student source for certain statements using grep. This works and correctly gives the work a grade. However, I want the source to be syntax checked and the output checked in the normal way. The evaluate in VPL is not running the base vpl_evaluate.sh for python 3 to check the code and vpl_evaluate.cases. How do I best achieve this please?

I managed to get this working by copying in all the needed vpl_ files into a base VPL and then deriving from that. Not sure if that's the best way, as it means I have to potentially update after every upgrade.

Dear Prof. Carlos

Thank you.

Please, be verbose, if you give not enough details of your environment, we will not be able to replay the case and try to spot the problem. It will help if you can reproduce your problem on the vpl demo server.

Best regards,

I have recently updated the plugin using moodle 3.9. We now receive the following when clicking the run or check icons.
Call to undefined function hrtime
On research the hrtime function is new tp php 7.3. moodle 3.9 is surpposed to support php 7.2. Does this now mean I need to upgrade all my php libraries. Help this was working fine before, I fear php upgrade may knock a lot more out.

Hello Juan.
Happy new year.

I actually have a problem with UI in VPL.
When I make an activity, my "Jump to" section is disappear.
(float-left, jump to activity, flot-right all gone)
This happens only in VPL.
Other activities are ok.

Do you know this problem?
If you know the solution that I can fix, plz tell me.

Hi,
We have been facing some issues for the past 6 days "Unable to run HTML/CSS/JS files in VPL, although Python files run successfully. Need help resolving the issue."

The "ID Number" is automatic generated. We are not able to set "ID Number" for VPL, it does not store custom value.
We need ID Number to use in formular in Gradebook.

How to fix this?

I'm trying to edit some old test cases for VPL activities we have on our moodle. And I'm unable to edit the test case, in description it just shows the test case sort of read only in a navy background frame but no editor. What am I missing we are running VPL version 4.1 (2023042712) and Moodle 4.1.

The same think happens when a create a new VPL activity, in description I only see the icons and no editor. Any help would be much appreciated.

No issue, found it!

Dear Steve Wentworth,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Given the extensive use of JavaScript in the VPL plugin, it is possible that the editor may experience disruptions after an upgrade. I recommend the following steps:

1. The Moodle administrator should “purge all caches”. This can be accomplished by navigating to “Site administration -> Development -> Purge caches”.
2. Some users may also benefit from clearing their browser's cache. This can be done by pressing “Ctrl + F5”.

Additionally, I'd like to inform you that the current VPL version you are using, 4.1, is not the latest. Version 4.2 is available and is compatible with Moodle 4.1. Please note that VPL versions are not necessarily tied to the corresponding Moodle versions.

I hope this resolves your issue. If you continue to encounter difficulties, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Best regards,
