#gapfill — Public Fediverse posts

I have updated my #Moodle #Gapfill question type to confirm compatibility with Moodle 5.1

Although there are big changes to the folder structure for Moodle 5.1 no functional changes were required for Gapfill. This makes me optimistic about confirming compatibility for my #Wordselect and #AIText question types.

All software has #bugs

I made my first github commit for the #Moodle #Gapfill question type In April 2012. I have made 1,510 commits since then. This year on Feb 5 2025 Mark Johnson reported a bug in backup caused by spelling errors in field names.

I have created a #behat test to reproduce the bug and a patch to fix it. It took approximately 5 hours in total.
All software has bugs, automated tests are not a luxury.

I released my #Moodle #Gapfill question type in 2012, as a way of “scratching the itch” caused when I found the existing #Cloze question type hard to use.

Fourteen years on and it is recorded as being installed on (at least) 4,700 web sites, and that makes me happy. Meanwhile I have made a slight contribution to a plugin that makes Cloze a little easier to use

Software development is iceberg shaped, most of it is “below the surface” involving maintenance and working out if a reported issue really is a “bug”.

I recently had a lovely instance of this with my Moodle #Gapfill question type. It involved 30 comments over about two days. In the end it was not a bug in my code, and the solution included input from two other very experienced developers.

I have just run the Behat automated tests for my #Moodle #Gapfill #question type

https://moodle.org/plugins/qtype_gapfill

against the most recent beta version of Moodle 4.3. I am delighted to say that the tests ran and so it will be ready for use when 4.3 is released on 9 Oct. Next stop will be to test my WordSelect question type.
