Program coding error detected

I have an instance on 2.2.20, and get the following message: Coding error detected, it must be fixed by a programmer: moodle_database::update_record_raw() id field must be specified. 

It appears when there are exceptions for time allowance. 'All users' was selected and then 'dismiss and take no action' when this error pops up and the exceptions were not acted on. It also appears when attempting to 'override and add program'.

Has this been fixed in an update already or is it a new bug? I saw in the 2.2.21 release notes "T-10875 Remove unresolved exceptions when users are unassigned from a Program" and wanted to check if it was the same.

Hi Sarah,

It's a bit difficult to say if that's the same bug. Would you be able to turn debugging to developer level (Admin > Development > Debugging) then revisit the page and post a screenshot of the full error you get?

That would help us narrow down the exact cause and work out if it's the same issue or not.

Many thanks,

Simon

Any idea if this was fixed in an update or new?

That looks like a new bug, we will get someone to take a look now.

Hi Sarah,

Apologies for the delay on this one.

It looks like your issue is related to the fix in 2.2.21 and is due to assignment records not being properly cleared up when users are unassigned, so the code is attempting to remove an exception that doesn't really exist.

I'd recommend an upgrade to 2.2.23 as both 2.2.21 and 2.2.23 contain fixes in this area. 2.2.23 also contains various Security fixes for both Totara and Moodle so you are probably best to upgrade to at least that point anyway - the latest 2.2 is 2.2.26.

Hope that helps,

Ciaran
