Summary14116: Random group order not working
Description

Though an entry was made in "Randomization group", the groups are always shown in normal order.

Steps To Reproduce

I imported a test survey into the demo server (Test random group order (ID 395424)).
There, even more functions don't work with this survey:

  • "Preview survey" --> 500 Internal Server Error
  • "Theme options" --> the screen fades in slightly and the windows waitcursor appears, but nothing happens afterwards
  • "Export Survey structure (.lss)" --> File not found message on screen

Then again, "Generate" tokens" is working for this survey on the demo server, which is not the case in our own LS.

TagsNo tags attached.

Don't see any error messages.
The test-survey I have uploaded here has 2 question groups. They always appear in the order: group 1 , group 2. Never in random order as desired.

Please forget the above-mentioned remark about "Generate tokens". This issue has been solved.

Demo server may not use the latest version or it may be configured differently.
I can confirm that it doesn't randomize groups there.

The best way to test is to create an application on https://www.limesurvey.org/limesurvey-profile
I just tested there and it works as expected.
Also, your other issues may be solved there.

So we will have to wait until the "randomize groups" issue is solved by a new LimeSurvey version. Or mull over a workaround with some javascript.

LimeSurvey Version 3.15.0+181008 does not randomize groups either. (And it does not randomize questions in groups, but that would be another bug report).

Seems to be related to Bug 14197.
There, the reporter has found out that commenting out line 851 of em_manager_helper.php (<LS_HOME>/application/helpers/expressions/em_manager_helper.php) fixes this, groups are randomized once again.
The line to be commented out is:
$LEM->setVariableAndTokenMappingsForExpressionManager($iSurveyId)

I can confirm that this fixes the "random group order" bug (this bug, id 14116).
Furthermore, it fixes the "random questions within a group" bug (id 14197).

Group randomization is working as expected, so I'm closing this issue.
