Authentication Error when manually updating test score

Authentication Error when manually updating test score

I am using the student progress screen to give some partial credit for certain problems on a exam assignment. I receive one of two errors when I click save:

  1. Error saving the score.
    Authentication failed. Log in again to continue.
  2. The score was saved, but there was an error saving the comment.
    Authentication failed. Log in again to continue.

I see this error both directly accessing the course from the web portal or via Canvas and LTI 1.3 (both of which are professor accounts). It does not matter if the comment field is blank or has text.

Any thoughts on why this is occurring? I am not seeing anything in the webwork log file (I am also the site admin).

This sounds like the same issue as https://github.com/openwebwork/webwork2/issues/2588.  It only affects Tests with more than one question per page.

A fix was put in about two weeks ago (https://github.com/openwebwork/webwork2/pull/2592).  If you update the WeBWorK code (assuming that you're running 2.19) by running 'git pull' and then restart webwork it should fix the issue.

Thanks for pointing this out! It did indeed fix the issue.

I had checked the issues on github, but I must have missed this one.
