Django 2.0 will make this field required for `ForeignKey` and `OneToOneFields`.
In previous versions the option defaulted to `models.CASCADE` when not
specified. This change should make the deprecation warnings in the current
Django version go away.
The migrations where also modified, but the changes should not cause a change in
the database schema since `models.CASCADE` was already the old default.
This change allows graded assignments to be added to a campus LMS
regardless of the granularity at which the problem sits. Previously
a grade could only be returned if the usage ID for the problem itself
was specified in the LTI launch.
The code assumes that courses taking advantage of this functionality
are arranged in a hiearchy (with sections being parents to verticals,
and verticals being parents to problems). When a grading event occurs
it traverses the parent hiearchy to identify any previous graded LTI
launches for which the new scoring event should generate a grade
update. It then calculates and sends scores to each of those outcome
services.
Since grade calculation is an expensive operation, the code optimizes
the case where a problem has been added only once as a leaf unit. In
that case it is able to behave as before, just taking the grade from
the signal without having to calculate grades for the whole course.
This is an initial authentication implementation that allows LTI users to
log in transparently to edX. The behavior is driven by pilot users at
Harvard; this was the most requested feature.
The patch creates a new database model that maps users' LTI identifiers
to newly-created edX accounts. If an LTI launch comes in with a user_id
field that is not in the database, a new edX account is created with a
random user name and password. This account is then stored in the
database, so that it is permanently associated with the LTI user ID.
This patch takes a simplistic approach to session management. If a user
is logged in with a different account when they perform an LTI launch,
they will be logged out and then re-logged in using their LTI account.
In order to keep the patch simple, I have split out some refactoring
that needs to be done into a separate branch that I'll post once this
has been merged. Since we no longer redirect to the login page, we don't
need to maintain two separate LTI endpoints (one for the LTI launch and
one for authenticated users), or deal with the session management that
requires. There are also multiple fetches of the LtiConsumer object
(one in the view, one in the signature validation) that the later
patch will consolidate into one.
This branch fixes the previous conflicts with the test refactoring
carried out in PR 8240.

This change allows the LTI provider to pass grades back to the campus LMS platform using the
LTI outcome service. For full details of the outcome service, see:
http://www.imsglobal.org/LTI/v1p1/ltiIMGv1p1.html
In brief, the LTI 1.1 spec defines an outcome service that can be offered by an LTI consumer.
The consumer determines whether a score should be returned (in Canvas, this means that the LTI
tool is used in an assignment, and the launch was performed by a student). If so, it sends
two additional parameters along with the LTI launch:
lis_outcome_service_url: the endpoint for the outcome service on the consumer;
lis_result_sourcedid: a unique identifier for the row in the gradebook (i.e. the tool/student/assignment combination).
The LTI Provider launch view detects the presence of these optional fields, and creates database
records for the specific Outcome Service and for the graded LTI launch. Later, when a score on
edX changes (identified using the signal mechanism from previous LTI Provider pull requests),
a Celery task is launched to pass the score back to the LTI consumer.
