      Test

      1. With the teacher's token call the web service function "mod_assign_get_assignments" to get the ID of the assignment you created earlier.
        • In the terminal, do a CURL REST call simulating a WS client with the user. ("YOURMOODLEINSTANCE" =  The path to your moodle instance; "TEACHERWSTOKEN" = The webservice token of the teacher )
          curl 'http://YOURMOODLEINSTANCE/webservice/rest/server.php?moodlewsrestformat=json' --data 'wsfunction=mod_assign_get_assignments&wstoken=TEACHERWSTOKEN' | python -m "json.tool"
          (Alternatively, you can also do this by using Postman and sending the following GET request: http://YOURMOODLEINSTANCE/webservice/rest/server.php?wstoken=TEACHERWSTOKEN&moodlewsrestformat=json&wsfunction=mod_assign_get_assignments)
          • In the response object, in the "assignments" property there should be only 1 object that represents the course assignment. The "id" from this object will be used in step 2.
      2. With the teacher's token call the web service function "mod_assign_get_submissions" and pass the ID of your assignment via the "assignmentids" parameter.
        • In the terminal, do a CURL REST call simulating a WS client with the user. ("YOURMOODLEINSTANCE" =  The path to your moodle instance; "TEACHERWSTOKEN" = The webservice token of the teacher; ASSIGNMENTID = The id of the assignment )
          curl 'http://YOURMOODLEINSTANCE/webservice/rest/server.php?moodlewsrestformat=json' --data 'wsfunction=mod_assign_get_submissions&wstoken=TEACHERWSTOKEN&assignmentids[]=ASSIGNMENTID' | python -m "json.tool"
          (Alternatively, you can also do this by using Postman and sending the following GET request: 'http://YOURMOODLEINSTANCE/webservice/rest/server.php?wstoken=TEACHERWSTOKEN&moodlewsrestformat=json&wsfunction=mod_assign_get_submissions&assignmentids[]=ASSIGNMENTID)
          • You should get a response which contains a submission object where:
            •  the properties "userid" == 0 and "groupid" != 0.
            • the uploaded submission file can be found in the "files" property
      3. Install the official Moodle Mobile app and with the teacher user navigate to the assignment activity to confirm that you see the student submission listed including the files submitted

      Description

      The webservice function mod_assign_get_submissions doesn't return files that were submitted as a group.

      Group submissions are stored with userid == 0 and groupid != 0 which is why the following line causes them to be skipped: https://github.com/moodle/moodle/blob/cd391f9922a7fdfbf0e57709c216725aa66d5293/mod/assign/externallib.php#L797
