 Description  « Hide
I seem to remember reporting this before, but can't find it, so maybe not. I have a quiz with random questions including some short answer questions. Students answering a question using a different mix of capitals to the specified one are not getting marked as correct, as per screenshot. The second correct answer and first incorrect answer are the same apart from the capitalisation and I have double checked the setting in the question settings.

Can you try going to the URL

.../admin/report/unittest/index.php?path=question%2Ftype%2Fshortanswer

on your server, to see whether the unit tests all pass.

Also, can you go and review the individual quiz attempts, to make sure that the quiz is actually scoring the question wrong. I want to eliminate the possibility that it is a but in the Item Analysis report.

Thanks.

The unit tests are fine, but I have a lot of attempts and all the questions are randomised, so it'll take me a while to run through them and find the right questions to check...

The unit tests are fine, but the actual answer shown in the first screenshot, when viewed as part of the student's own attempt, shows as correct as per the other screenshot.

Right, so it seems that the bug is in the item analysis report.

And the item analysis report has been replaced with something better in Moodle 2.0. So, how much time to spend fixing it on the 1.9 branch?
