fix: remove custom startup to fix dev reloading
The cms/startup.py and lms/startup.py files were created to
allow us to do a lot of custom initialization around things
like the ModuleStore, monkey-patching, adding MIME types to
our process, etc. As far back as 2017, we recognized that
this was a bad thing, marked these modules as "deprecated",
and started removing things or putting them in the standard
Django locations for them (0279181).
In its current state, these startup modules no longer do any
custom work, and just invoke django.startup(). But this is
meant for running Django code in "standalone" usage, e.g. if
you have a script that isn't a management command but needs
some Django functionality.
The "runserver" command used during development normally
launches a child process to serve requests and knows how to
kill and respawn that process when files are modified, so
that changes are reflected. It can also normally handle the
case where there's a SyntaxError in the child process, and
fixing that error will reload the code again.
Something about running django.startup() manually interferes
with this functionality in "runserver". It still reloads the
code in response to changes, but if the code gets into a
broken state for any reason (like a syntax error), the master
process itself dies. That causes the container to restart,
only to die again shortly afterwards in a loop until the
error is fixed. The container restarts will break any shell
you had opened into the container, as well as any IDE
integrations that connected to that container to access the
files and Python instance.
Getting rid of the custom startup code fixes this and moves
us one small step closer to being a more normal Django
project.
