Failing scheduled task

[jwalits]

We're constantly getting this error. It feels like the scheduled task should handle this failure a bit more gracefully rather than having to disable the scheduled task manually.

Scheduled task failed: Get meeting report from Zoom (mod_zoom\task\get_meeting_reports),Zoom received a bad request: This API is only available for ZMP and Business or higher accounts that have enabled the Dashboard feature.

Hi @jwalits,

The message from Zoom is saying that your account does not have permissions to use the Dashboard APIs. The plugin handles this by checking if the Dashboard scope has been granted:

moodle-mod_zoom/classes/task/get_meeting_reports.php

Lines 146 to 158 in aa82084

	$dashboardscopes = [
	'dashboard_meetings:read:admin',
	'dashboard_meetings:read:list_meetings:admin',
	'dashboard_meetings:read:list_webinars:admin',
	];
	$reportscopes = [
	'report:read:admin',
	'report:read:list_users:admin',
	];
	// Can only query on $hostuuids using Report API.
	if (empty($hostuuids) && $this->service->has_scope($dashboardscopes)) {

If you remove the Dashboard scopes from your Marketplace App, it should fix the error. Please let us know if the Marketplace app does not have those scopes granted and you continue to encounter the error.

Thanks @jrchamp - I'll reach out to the team internally and see if they can remove that scope from the App. I dont have the access to the zoom side of things yet!

Thanks again for the quick feedback.

Hey @jrchamp

I've been able to login and check the marketplace app. I have deleted the Dashboard scopes from that app and now we are seeing a different error

 Scheduled task failed: Get meeting report from Zoom (mod_zoom\task\get_meeting_reports),Zoom received a bad request:
 Invalid access token, does not contain scopes:[dashboard_meetings:read:admin, dashboard:read:admin].

All of the Dashboard API endpoints start with metrics/. So it's trying to make a request to an endpoint that claims that it needs a dashboard scope. Either the plugin is incorrectly making a Dashboard API call even though the Dashboard scopes are gone or the API is returning incorrect information.

Here's my hopeful guess: Maybe the scopes were cached and the cache wasn't cleared when the Marketplace app was updated. If it's working now, that's the most likely explanation, because the cache should have automatically expired by now.

Are you still getting the same error? If so, then someone will need to enumerate all of the API calls that might be made and verify that Zoom's API is checking the correct set of scopes.

Hey @jrchamp

Apologies for the delay in getting back to you. I haven't had a chance to re-check that in the last few days. I actually disabled that task for now on the site - as it wasn't really needed and kept pinging our monitoring creating an alert.

I'll re-check hopefully in the next few days to see if its still happening.
