FIRST

the Data package that used to test for this are Use Case Test3-1, Use Case Test 3-2, and Use Case Test 3-3

Use Case Test 3-1 is used to test the option 1, one file for each student
Use Case Tset 3-2 is used to test the option 2, one file for each question
Use Case Test 3-3 is used to test the option 3, None of Above

Relevant code snippet from AssignExternalFiles.java:

protected void updateAssignButtonStatus () {
        boolean fileAndStudentSelected = 
            cbxFilenamesMatchStudentIdentifiers.isSelected() ||        
            (lstExternalFiles.getSelectedIndex() >= 0 && 
            lstStudentIdentifiers.getSelectedIndices().length > 0);
        boolean questionSelected = 
            lstQuestionIdentifiers.getSelectedValues().length > 0;
        boolean dataTypeSelected = 
            lstDataTypes.getSelectedIndices().length > 0;        
        boolean enable = fileAndStudentSelected && questionSelected &&
                 dataTypeSelected;
        btnAssign.setEnabled(enable);
    }

So, unless typeOfData, question, and the student fields are all in sync (i.e.,
properly matching), the button will remain disabled. I think, this seems to be consistent with the interface too, at least, for a trial I did.

Jay, in your trials, did you ensure that there was no mismatch in terms of the
number of students, questions, and corresponding data present in your PDF file?

Ryan, is my assessment of the problem correct or do you think that there is
something wrong programatically?

Sandeep, yes. I matched the number of stuents and items. For example, Use test case 3-1, there is 8 items and 20 students in the student data set. and I created 20 PDF files for each student for option 1 which is one file for each student.

On further examination, I noticed that the variable "dataTypeSelected" in the code snippet from comment #2 is wrongly set to FALSE when more than one "types of information" is chosen in the GUI window whose pageTitle is:
"Specify types of data to that are contained in files to be archived".

The available types (Scores, Responses, and Feedback) are shown as check boxes.

Now, dataTypeSelected is set to TRUE if the list lstDataTypes has any of its
elements set (which is same as: lstDataTypes.getSelectedIndices().length > 0 in the code).

Looks like AbstractDataTypesToImport.java and ChooseExternalTypesOfDataToImport.java have some relevant code. But, I could not conclusively determine what is causing the bug.

Could it be the "setSelected" routines associated with each of check boxes?

This was fixed by selecting all data types in the (invisible) data type selection box when "one file per student" or "one file per question" is the selected option.
