Students cannot accept assignments: the visbility [sic] of the starter code is out of sync with the classroom. #131139
-
Hi everyone,I decided to create my Fall Classroom today for my CS112 course. I created a new org, and then did Reuse Assignment on an old copy of the course. I imported all my assignments. Now, I'm trying to accept an assignment (as if I were a student). It says it is creating the new assignment for me, please refresh, etc... then I get this error every time:
I'm the instructor and I don't know how to fix this... What does "change the visibililty [sic]" mean? My repo (https://github.com/24fa-cs112-org/cs112-lab0-assignment) was a Private Template. Now I've changed it to a Public Template. That does not seem to have helped. |

Hi @VictorNorman. I'm sorry the copy feature is not working as expected. If I understand correctly, you got the error message saying the visibility was out of sync and then you changed the visibility of the starter code repo to public, is that correct? If that's the case, the first step of me helping to debug is going to seem a bit silly as I'd like for you to change the visibility of the starter code repo back to private. The reason for this is that the visibility on the assignment is set to private and that needs to match the starter code. I understand that's what you had before that wasn't working, but, I need to get it back into the "right" state so we can continue debugging what's off. To make sure you're looking at the right starter code repository, please view the assignment in Classroom. Under the assignment title should be a line that says something like "Starter code from org-name/repo-name". The org/repo name should be a link that will take you to the proper repository in GitHub. Once the starter code repo is set to private visibility again, please try to accept it again (that will give me an updated error to look into) and then let me know in this thread. |

Problem persists When I set up the assignment I actually created a repository using the link myself under the same account as the template repository was created. This worked and the repository copy is fine. I believe in the meantime some procedures to setup assignments on Github / Classroom have changed. Perhaps that messed something up? |

@VictorNorman, @SimonSchillberg, @twennekers and @GSibinger we have deployed a fix that should resolve the "visibility mismatch" issue you were seeing with assignment acceptance. If the issue persists (or you are seeing other issues with assignment acceptance), please let us know (including the name of the classroom and assignment, where possible to make troubleshooting easier). |

Hi
Thanks for dealing with this so quickly.
Unfortunately, the issue has not been resolved for me.
I tried yesterday and today to setup a student repository by reaccepting the assignment on a "student" test account.
The system tries to set the repository up correctly and asks to wait.
However, when I reload, the same out of sync error occurs.
There is a link on the error page to "update" the assignment which leads to a 404 error, page not found.
When I created the assignment a month or so ago I went through the creation process which worked at that time.
The repository is here:

Regards
Thomas

I am having the same issue as reported by VictorNorman. There was an error accepting the assignment. GitHub repository could not be created. The visibility of the starter code is out of sync with Classroom. Your instructor may need to re-create the assignment or change the visibility of the starter code repository.. Try and (update) the assignment. If this problem persists, please have the Classroom admin contact support. I recreated the assignment as suggested in the message and the error persisted. Next I changed the starter repo locations....also to fail. Suggestions most appreciated. |
