      The grader report checks a couple of capabilities that may or may not exist, depending on your Moodle installation:

      • gradereport/singleview:view
      • gradereport/user:view (or equivalent from another plugin that can be used as a user profile report)

      There is nothing to stop an administrator uninstalling the singleview or user plugins, so this can cause debugging messages to be output, e.g.:

      Capability "gradereport/singleview:view" was not found! This has to be fixed in code.
      		 
       
      		 
          line 387 of \lib\accesslib.php: call to debugging()
      		 
          line 539 of \lib\accesslib.php: call to has_capability()
      		 
          line 594 of \grade\report\grader\lib.php: call to has_all_capabilities()
      		 
          line 1181 of \grade\report\grader\lib.php: call to grade_report_grader->get_left_rows()
      		 
          line 179 of \grade\report\grader\index.php: call to grade_report_grader->get_grade_table()

      It would be a good idea if the grader report were to make sure these capabilities exist before checking them.

      To reproduce on a fresh install of Moodle,

      1. uninstall the user and singleview plugins
      2. switch debugging on
      3. open the grader report and confirm that you see debugging messages as above
