It's a feature request ? Something to know if survey are in active and open scope ?

in fact I use Survey::model()->active()->open()->findAll(), before I stumbled across Survey::getState()
however, the "running"-state doesnt consider start- expire dates, although I assumed the survey is "running" between start and expire dates

Oups … didn't see Survey::getState() function…

But it's seems it consider start/epires date : it's broken ?
https://github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/blob/392b869292012b19b3606e711924cc2fc00b01c6/application/models/Survey.php#L1090

I take it, fix is quick :)

API update …

Current

1. between startdate and expire date > return willExpire
2. After startdate, no expire date > return … null : this is the issue

If moving from willExpire to running : this can broke plugin.

Maybe decision to do : https://github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/pull/1299

But i don't think we need a «after Start Date but no expires» state.
We must leave willExpire even if it can be running …
