Home/Canvas fails to import QTI quiz files
When importing into CANVAS the following error is reecived:
#133 Couldn't convert QTI 1.2 to 2.1, see error log: /tmp/job-1311798-canvas.1484-20230905-1484-jqub7f/cm_20_user_id_1_qti/qti_conversion_error.log
SOLUTION:
|
I can confirm that it works for me on our v17.1 appliance.
From a clean install:
apt update
apt install -y python3-lxml
cd /var/www/canvas/vendor
git clone https://github.com/instructure/QTIMigrationTool.git
systemctl restart canvas_init.service
It will take a little while before the background task runner will pick it up (it seems to be a bit slow to start).

Thanks for posting!
Thanks for posting Menachem. I'm sure that will help others.
I'm not a Canvas user myself, but I wonder if perhaps this is something that we should include by default? Is it something that is likely needed regularly? Or is it just something that is needed once in specific circumstance?
I'd be interested in your thoughts.
including quiz imports
It is going to be critical for users moving to a new install of the appliance, or when importing course content from external sources. QTI import of quiz banks allows you include what might be arguably the most critical piece of a course. In my instance it was holding me back from moving to a newer install of the appliance. There were several years of test banks that tested students which would have been impossible to reconstruct otherwise.
Solution doesn't work with v18
I followed the instructions, and it worked temporarily. Now, I'm back to QTI files sitting queued. Do you have any suggestions? This is critical for our canvas use case.
Hi Ben, are you the Ben I've been speaking with via support?
Hi Ben, are you the Ben I've been speaking with via support? If so, unfortunately I have no further info yet.
Regardless, I have opened issues regarding the general problems, plus the issue you note specifically.
Hopefully we'll be able to resolve it all soon, but I have no ETA.
