[Building Sakai] Student getting NPE on Samigo Timed Test

[Niebel, William D. (Bill) (wdn5e)]

Hi, Omer.
    We recently had a similar problem running 2.9.1   I think our problems are different, but looking at our patch might make you think of a fix for yours.    See the jira I just now posted SAM-2413.
    Good luck with your problem!

Subject: [Building Sakai] Student getting NPE on Samigo Timed Test

We've had several students receive a null pointer exception error when trying to take an assessment in Samigo.  It looks like the error is due to the combination of the assessment being a timed assessment and the professor entering in a grade for the student (in this instance a 0).  To replicate the error:

Create a timed assessment
Give a score of 0 to one of the students
Login as the student and attempt to take the assessment
A null pointer exception is displayed

It looks like there is a partial record created in the database when the score is entered for the student. I can see a record in sam_assessmentgrading_t and student can take the assessment again after I delete that row from database..

Has anyone seen this before? This is on Sakai 10.x. Stack trace looks like below..

Thanks
Omer
