      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.
            •  there are two submissions from different groups
            • 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 submissions listed including the files submitted

    Description

      In MDL-68605 I tried to fix mod_assign_get_submissions not returning group submissions. While I did fix it, that fix only works as long as you have 0 or 1 group submissions. As soon as there are more than that the webservice function will only return one of the group submissions seemingly at random.

      That's because in https://github.com/moodle/moodle/blob/58ba94a7290940391d1581e591a64fc7e6bb410a/mod/assign/externallib.php#L757-L765 we get the latest attempt for each user. Since group submissions all have a userid of 0, all but one of them are discarded here.
