Testing Questions

1. Install a new question type we can use for testing. I chose to use (https://github.com/marcusgreen/moodle-qtype_wordselect) but any other question type will do
2. Create a course and a quiz on the course
3. Go to the quiz question bank and create 2 questions of the newly installed type
4. Add 1 of those questions to the quiz
5. Remove the "wordselect" question type by deleting the question/type/wordselect directory (or whichever one you chose to install)
6. Purge caches
7. Return to the quiz "questions" page and confirm that the missing question is highlighted red with a label saying "invalid question type: wordselect"
8. Confirm that in that question row, the preview link is not there, as preview won't work
9. Try to add the other question of the missing type to the quiz, from the question bank - confirm that it is not allowed and throws an exception
10. Attempt to preview the quiz as a teacher/adminer, or take the quiz as a student - confirm that the button to do so is no longer present, as the quiz will not work with invalid questions, and is replaced with an error message saying "This quiz has questions with invalid types. It cannot be used until the questions are fixed."

Testing Random Questions - Should not be able to select an invalid question

1. Delete one of the "wordselect" questions from the quiz questionbank so there is only 1 available
2. Add another question of any type, e.g. true/false
3. Remove any existing questions from the quiz itself
4. Add a Random question to the quiz which can pick between those 2 questions, so that should be the only question slot on the quiz now
5. Preview/take the quiz multiple times and confirm it always picks the true/false question
6. Delete the true/false question and then attempt the quiz again - confirm that it says there are not enough questions to choose from, even though the wordselect one is still there (as we shouldn't be able to use it)
