Summary

Clear stale feedback when the modeling assessment editor loads the next submission.

Checklist

General

  • This is a small issue that I tested locally.
  • Language: I followed the guidelines for inclusive, diversity-sensitive, and appreciative language.
  • I chose a title conforming to the naming conventions for pull requests.

Client

  • I implemented the changes with good performance and avoided unnecessary REST calls.
  • I followed the principle of data economy for client-server REST calls.
  • I followed the client coding guidelines.
  • I added regression tests (Vitest) related to the fix.

Motivation and Context

Fixes #13504. When assessing a modeling submission and clicking Assess Next, feedback from the previous submission remained visible if the newly loaded submission had no feedback.

Description

The modeling assessment editor is reused when loading the next submission. Its feedback state is now reset before processing the newly loaded submission, including referenced feedback, unreferenced feedback, feedback suggestions, and the automatic-feedback indicator. A regression test verifies that feedback is removed when the next submission has an empty feedback list.

Steps for Testing

Prerequisites:

  • 1 instructor
  • At least 2 modeling exercise submissions, where the first has general feedback and the next has no feedback
  1. Log in as an instructor.
  2. Open the modeling exercise assessment view.
  3. Add general feedback to the first submission and submit the assessment.
  4. Click Assess Next.
  5. Verify that no feedback from the previous submission is displayed.

Exam Mode Testing

  1. Open a modeling exercise assessment in an exam.
  2. Assess a submission and click Assess Next.
  3. Verify that the next submission starts with no feedback from the previous assessment.

Testserver States

You can manage test servers using Helios. Check environment statuses in the environment list. To deploy to a test server, go to the CI/CD page, find your PR or branch, and trigger the deployment.

Walkthrough

The modeling assessment editor now clears all submission-specific feedback state when it receives a new submission. The test verifies that feedback, loading, automatic-feedback, and highlighted-element state reset correctly.

handleReceivedSubmission clears feedback, suggestion loading, automatic-feedback, and highlighted-element state before processing the new submission. The test validates the reset with an independent feedback-free submission.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 8d991

This change clears stale feedback when an assessor moves to a submission without feedback. The behavior is localized and regression-tested, so no actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review.

Cover every reset field in the regression test.

The test verifies only referencedFeedback and unreferencedFeedback(). It does not seed or assert feedbackSuggestions or hasAutomaticFeedback. A regression in either reset would still pass. Set both fields before the route change, then assert that the next submission has an empty suggestion list and hasAutomaticFeedback() is false.

Use deepClone for the derived submission fixture.

secondSubmission uses object spread, which creates a shallow copy. Replace it with the repository's deepClone helper before changing id and results.

As per coding guidelines, files under src/main/webapp/app/**/*.ts must use deepClone for object copies and must not use object spread.

Tested this locally against a local dev server, using the built-in admin account substituting for an instructor (disclosing that up front since there's no separate instructor test account in this setup). I created a small throwaway course with a single modeling exercise, enrolled two of the local test student accounts, and had each submit a class diagram with one class element on the canvas.

I assessed the first submission with a general feedback comment ("Good start, add more attributes next time.") and submitted it, then clicked "Assess Next Submission." The assessment editor moved to the second student's submission and correctly started with a completely empty feedback list, no attribute list, no leftover comment text, nothing carried over from the first one. That's exactly the behavior this PR is meant to fix, and it worked as described both times I tried it (I also went back and reopened the first submission afterwards to confirm its feedback was still intact and hadn't been wiped in the process).

I did not test the Exam Mode Testing steps from the description, since setting up a full exam with its own modeling exercise felt disproportionate for what's otherwise a small, well-scoped fix, and the underlying reset logic in handleReceivedSubmission is the same code path either way.

Verified locally, see my testing comment above for the full write-up. The feedback-reset fix worked as described in both directions I checked, and I didn't hit any issues with the actual change itself.

@maximiliansoelch The reset now clears referenced and unreferenced feedback, suggestion/loading state, the automatic-feedback flag, and Apollon highlights before processing the next result in the reused component. The regression test covers the empty-feedback transition, and the required CI snapshot completed successfully.
