Can't delete course about artemis

[andreasseitz]

Can we archive courses?
AFAIK @krusche already has a script to clean build plans & repos. This might help.

The delete use case was not really necessary so far.

@sockeqwe you probably need to delete all references in the database first and then you can also delete the course.

Another possibility for the future would be to automate this on the server:

1. delete all referenced objects
2. delete the course object

Archiving a course is not possible so far, but we could introduce an attribute "archived" for a course object and do not display it anymore for students if it is archived.

@andreasseitz my script includes some manual steps and only deletes build plans in Bamboo (bamboobruegge), but no repos (because the repos still include the solution code of the students).

We need a more sophisticated cleanup feature for the future that can be triggered directly on the ArTEMiS server, I will add this as separate issue.

yep,
I don't have a strong use case either. I just wanted to clean up some stuff on my local machine and have pressed the "delete course button" in ArTEMiS (UI) and it failed.

I just wanted to note this "issue" down.

This was fixed some time ago
