[Kristina Hoeppner <1943792@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The MNet plugin has been replaced in favour of the webservices one in
Moodle. The fix does not resolve the issue, and the project team focuses
on LTI instead of MNet since Moodle is deprecating that more, and the
PHP XML-RPC plugin will not be included per default any more with PHP 8.

If the fix works locally for you, keep it there. :-)

Title:
  Remote (MNet) collection submissions fail to release

Status in Mahara:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Mahara 21.04.1
  Totara 12.?
  Mahara assignment submission 2017101601

  Set up MNet Connection from a Moodle/ Totara to Mahara allowing users from Moodle to log in to Mahara
  Install Mahara assignment submissions plugin to the Moodle site.
  Set up an assignment allowing Mahara submissions
   - lock submitted pages after grading

  
  Create a collection as a learner
  Log in to Moodle 
  Submit a Mahara collection to the assignment

  Log out

  Log in to Moodle as a teacher who does not have an account on Mahara
  Grade the submitted assignment and allow a new attempt

  Expected
  The collection and pages are released and a new attempt is available

  Actual
  Error is returned: optional_userobj no userid and no logged in user

  
  ----

  Diagnosis
  In /lib/collection.php relase()
  $releaseuser = optional_userobj($releaseuser);  

  $releaseuser does not exist. 
  Called in xmlrpc/lib.php release_submitted_view() 
  find_remote_user($teacherusername, $REMOTEWWWROOT)
  returns no user.

  This was introduced in 87f0664d3bae37184581425a995a6a534dc16c39 Bug
  1908837: Setting $releaseuser correctly

  Suggested fix
  In /lib/collection.php relase()
  wrap $releaseuser = optional_userobj($releaseuser);  in an if statement
