Before this, autosave was only working to save data when a student went
back in to continue an attempt. If the student, having crashed out,
never went back in and continued the attempt, their auto-saved responses
were not used when the attempt was automatically finished. That was a
rather bad oversight, which should now be fixed.
Some columns needed to be renamed:
* quiz -> quizid
* question -> questionid
* grade -> maxmark
Then all the places that refer to those needed to be fixed.
Adds a set of options to the essay question type which implement
the following new features:
-Adds an input format which accepts only file uploads, and no
inline text.
-Adds an option to make the inline text response optional when
attachments are enabled, so students can choose to upload
an essay file.
-Adds an option to make attachments required, so essays without
attachments will be marked incomplete.
Add new API for filtering questions, refactoring the options to display
old questions and include subcategories into new
question_bank_search_condition classes. Make the new API pluggable via
local_[pluginname]_get_question_bank_search_conditions.
In general aiming for compatibility with multiple browsers,
firefox, chrome and phantomjs to be more specific.
* Removing hardcoded waits
* Adding @_alert, @_switch_window and @_switch_frame tags,
to label actions that different drivers have problems with.
* Adding missing @_files_upload and @_only_local tags to features that
uploads files.
* Fixing a few wait for page ready what specified miliseconds.
* New methods to ensure elements (usual selectors), sections and editors
are ready to interact with
* Changing the select an option implementation to deal with the different
drivers implementations when listening to JS events.
When you followed the link to the question bank, the checkbox for the
"Show question text in the question list" option correctly reflected the
user's preference, but what was actually shown in the question bank did
not.
Teachers were typing patterns like
********************************<em>****************************</em>
which translates into a pattern like .*.*.*.*, which is very inefficient
to try to match, althought it is equivalent ot a single .*. At a certain
point preg was just giving up.
Since people actually do this, we should simplify the regex by treating
runs of * like a single *.
Plain responses, without files, were getting messed up by the
fix for MDL-39980. Something that looked like an HTML comment was being
appended.
This fix works by avoiding appending anything if there are no files. The
new unit test (which was failing before I fixed the code) confirms that
this works. The other tests should be enough to verify that there are no
regressions.
