      You'll need to check the database records on the forum table for this test.

      1. Using your preferred database client, view the records of forum table (mdl_forum).
      2. Log in as admin, go to "Site home" and click "Add a new course".
      3. Fill the form, select "Social format" under "Course format"  section and click "Save and return" button.
      4. Query the forum table and verify that there's a new record for "Social Forum" for the course created.
      5. Access the course you have created.
      6. Verify that there's no new record on the forum table.
      7. Create another course using the same social format but this time click "Save and display" button.
      8. Query the forum table and verify that there's a new record for "Social Forum" for the course created.

      Moodle's social course format features a "Social forum" that directly links to a forum activity, bypassing access to the course homepage. However, an issue arises when attempting to utilize this "Social forum" within data generators.

      Specifically, the problem can be outlined as follows:

      And the following "courses" exist:
      		 
            | fullname | shortname | category | format |
      		 
            | Course 1 | C1 | 0 | social |
      		 
      And the following "mod_forum > discussions" exist:
      		 
            | user      | forum        | name         | 
      		 
            | teacher1 | Social forum | Forum Post 1 |

      The problem happens because the forum is not created when the course is created. Moodle creates the activity only when the user access it for the first time.
