single-choice multiple choice

[Beth Chance]

I'm VERY new to authoring in Runestone (haven't finished my first book but need it by early Jan so apologies in advance...) but I seem to have a new issue... I'm trying to make multiple choice questions, mostly of the single-choice variety and all of my MC questions now render as "check all that apply." The created html (under inspect) is confused as it starts with radio buttons and then morphs to checkpoints.  I thought this was working fine a few days again. Is anyone else having an issue? I've spent 3 hours and haven't found a fix yet. The only thing I've changed recently is using a mix of "exercises" and "checkpoints" but AI keeps telling me that shouldn't be the problem and the issue is true for all of my MC questions now, even the checkpoint versions, even the first very one in the book which is outside of a <exercises> block.

Below is the most recent attempt where we tried to be very clear that there is only one correct answer choice, but this added information did not change the behavior (even with hard reloads, changing the item label, and clean builds).

 <exercise xml:id="practice-a2a-a" label="PPA.1">

      <title>Describe Shape</title>

      <statement>

        <p>Based on the graph, would you consider the "number of hurricanes" distribution to be symmetric, skewed to the right or skewed to the left? Check the Skewness statistic box, does the value agree with your judgement from the graph?</p>

      </statement>

      <choices randomize="no" multiple-correct="no">

        <choice correct="yes">

          <statement><p>Skewed to the right</p></statement>

        </choice>

        <choice correct="no">

          <statement><p>Skewed to the left</p></statement>

        </choice>

        <choice correct="no">

          <statement><p>Symmetric</p></statement>

        </choice>

      </choices>

      <hint>

        <p>Look at the tails of the distribution. Which side extends further? A positive skewness value indicates right skew, negative indicates left skew, and values near 0 indicate symmetry.</p>

      </hint>

      <solution>

        <p>The distribution appears to be skewed to the right, with a longer tail extending toward the higher values. The skewness statistic should be positive, confirming this visual assessment.</p>

      </solution>

    </exercise>

Beth - 

Your source looks fine.

It looks like you uncovered an issue in a recent Runestone update. There should be a fix for it soon.

In the meantime, you can set the stringparam

debug.rs.version

to 

7.11.0

In your project file, that would look something like:

    <target name="web"
      format="html"
      source="hello-world.xml"
      publication="publication.ptx">
      <stringparams debug.rs.version="7.11.0"/>
    </target>

Regards,

Andrew Scholer
