Available steps

Given I start afresh with dataform "DATAFORM_NAME_STRING"

Prepares a fresh environment with the following components and a dataform activity 'Test dataform' in Course 1. Course:

| fullname | shortname | category
| Course 1 | C1 | 0

Users:

| username | firstname | lastname | email
| teacher1 | Teacher | 1 | teacher1@asd.com
| assistant1 | Assistant | 1 | assistant1@asd.com
| student1 | Student | 1 | student1@asd.com
| student2 | Student | 2 | student2@asd.com
| student3 | Student | 3 | student3@asd.com

Enrollments:

| user | course | role
| teacher1 | C1 | editingteacher
| assistant1 | C1 | teacher
| student1 | C1 | student
| student2 | C1 | student

Groups:

| name    | description | course  | idnumber |
| Group 1 | Anything    | C1 | G1   |
| Group 2 | Anything    | C1 | G2   |

Group members:

| user     | group  |
| student1 | G1 |        
| student2 | G2 |
