      Manual test to add a new Marking Guide definition for an assignment
      ===================================================================

      1. Create a course and enrol a teacher into the course
      2. Create a new assignment in the course
      3. In the database, make a note of the following values
      • The course id (course table) - required to obtain the following values
      • The course module id of the assignment (course_modules table)
      • The context id of the assignment (context table)

      Following the instructions within Moodle, create a REST web service and add the function core_grading_save_definitions. Give the teacher the capabilities as
      described in the Web Services Overview -> Users as clients with token.

      Login as the teacher and create/obtain their security key

      Use the Moodle local Web service template plugin to call the web service function. The client.php file should be as shown below:

      client.php

      $token = 'f4458487f63c0558484f4505d61f1245'; // the teachers security key
      $domainname = 'http://localhost/moodledev'; // the Moodle server
      $functionname = 'core_grading_save_definitions'; // the web service function we are testing

                   'descriptionmarkers' => 'Student must demonstrate that they understand rabies control',
                   'descriptionmarkersformat' => 0,
                   'maxscore' => 50
              );
      $guidecriteria2 = array (

                   'maxscore' => 50
              );
             
      $definition['guide'] = array('guide_criteria' => array($guidecriteria1, $guidecriteria2),
                                   'guide_comments' => array($guidecomment));
      $gradingarea['definitions'] = array($definition);
      $params = array('areas' => array ($gradingarea));
       
      ///// REST CALL
      header('Content-Type: text/plain');
      $serverurl = $domainname . '/webservice/rest/server.php'. '?wstoken=' . $token. '&wsfunction='.$functionname;
      require_once('./curl.php');
      $curl = new curl;
      $resp = $curl->post($serverurl, $params);
      print_r($resp);
      

      The new Marking guide should now be visible in the UI
