[section] Problem when Admin creates students group manually

[NelleV]

When an admin creates the group manually, the group does not have a section yet. Therefore, when the admin tries to add students, it checks for the section of the inviter of the group, which doesn't exist

Can we get a more specific description of this issue?

Please give:
-steps to re-create it
-what client you're using and the version of markus (markus sandbox? or latest pull from upstream?)
-desired output
-current output

@seanbud 1.) Log in as admin (sandbox or your master based feature branch) 2.) Go to the "Groups" page 3.) Create a new group ("Add new") 4.) Select a student from the students list (left pane) 5.) Select the new group in the right pane 6.) Click the green => arrow in the middle. 7.) nothing happens

Expected result: student gets added to the group.

This ticket was opened before the rails3 migration, so I don't think that is the problem. You will not be able to reproduce that until we've fixed the rails3 migration ones on that part

1. Log in as an admin
2. Create sections and add students to them
3. Create an assignment with section due dates
4. Create a group
5. Adding a student to it fails, as markus is trying to fetch the section of the group, ie, of the inviter, which doesn't exist.

The ticket @jerboaa is referring too is #438

has this issue been resolved yet?

This issue can no longer be reproduced using the above steps. Probably resolved during the migration. @reidka, can this be closed?

@mike-stewart Two students from École Centrale de Nantes are working on this issue. They'll give us feedback about this issue soon.

@clairemyr and I cannot reproduce the issue using the above steps. So I think we can close the issue.

[reidka]

Ate least two people have checked into this issue and have not been able to reproduce.
