mod_qbank is only referenced in test files. mod_qbank is only available in Moodle 5.0. If we use the branch aitext_1.01 the issue still persists.

Moodle 4.5 is out of support, see
https://moodledev.io/general/releases/4.5
Is there an issue with use in Moodle 4.5

[micoreyes]

Yes 4.5 is not supported anymore by Moodle. Just checking this one out if you have plans on fixing 0.06 or 1.01 version since this plugin supports 4.5 as seen https://moodle.org/plugins/qtype_aitext/versions.

We're trying to have our client that is in 4.5 right now have an error less unitest.

[marcusgreen]

I don't have any plans to update the tests for 4.5. I probably created the tests with a target of Moodle 5.X. It would consume quite a bit of time to do that. I have some very interesting new stuff for the plugin, mainly from the ByCS/Mebis people.

It doesn't do anything particularly special with the question bank, I suspect it is just the way the unit tests are set up.
