- Looks at masquerading config for dates, outline, metadata, and
celebration APIs in course_home_api / courseware_api.
- Consolidates and cleans up places we check whether masquerading
gives us full access to a course.
* Replace track calls with eventtracking in task_track and server_track
* Making events compatible with events emitted via track app
* Fixed broken tests and quality violation
* Removed useless changes in shim. using in to have and keys in event context

Add a field to VEM config model that will decide the percentage of
courses allowed to go to VEM pipeline. The courses that don't meet the
criteria will go to VEDA.
PROD-1722
- update ADR to provide more alternatives for updating
the default value of a flag.
- add a `flag_` prefix to the flag metrics
- add module-level note about flag metrics
- add NewRelic query example and warning
- fix typo in toggle annotation
ARCHBOM-1302
- set up util function to use Amazon SES for sending calendar
sync emails.
- remove old sailthru code which we originally implemented for
this functionality
- include ADR on our decision to use SES instead of Sailthru.
The argument flag_undefined_default is soon to be retired
once ARCHBOM-132 is closed. The following will be used to
help ensure the rollout is complete.
- Add a temporary metric if flag_undefined_default is used.
- Add deprecation warning for flag_undefined_default.
- Add minor fix for waffle flag metric when no request found.
ARCHBOM-132
The previous version of this code used the Django Setting
ENABLE_WAFFLE_FLAG_METRIC to determine whether to add a single
metric with a dict of details about all flags. Due to
NewRelic's 256 character limit on the metric value, this was
getting truncated.
This new version instead uses the Django Setting
WAFFLE_FLAG_CUSTOM_METRICS, a list of waffle flag names to
instrument.
The name of each custom metric will match the name of the flag.
The value of the custom metric could be False, True, or Both.
The value Both would mean that the flag had both a True and False
value at different times during the transaction. This is most
likely due to having a check_before_waffle_callback, as is the
case with CourseWaffleFlag.

Fixing 56 GuessedAtParserWarnings, in commit edx#24098
Background: BeautifulSoup automatically picks the fastest parser available. By default, it picks the "lxml" parser.
Per the [BeautifulSoup](https://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/bs4/doc/#installing-a-parser) documentation:
> Beautiful Soup supports the HTML parser included in Python’s standard library, but it also supports a number of third-party Python parsers. One is the lxml parser. Depending on your setup, you might install lxml with one of these commands.
> Another alternative is the pure-Python html5lib parser, which parses HTML the way a web browser does.
Context: We changed two statements, one in lms and another in openedx. Both statements fire up BeautifulSoup. Now we explicitly ask for "lxml," following the recommendation on BeautifulSoup's documentation:
> If you can, I recommend you install and use lxml for speed. If you’re using a very old version of Python – earlier than 2.7.3 or 3.2.2 – it’s essential that you install lxml or html5lib. Python’s built-in HTML parser is just not very good in those old versions.
Before:
`soup = BeautifulSoup(content)`
After:
`soup = BeautifulSoup(markup=content, features="lxml")`
The warnings are gone, tests are passing in local.
If setting ENABLE_WAFFLE_FLAG_METRIC is True, a custom
metric will be added with the values of all WaffleFlag
and CourseWaffleFlags seen during the transaction.
Metric flag values could be False, True, or Both.
The value Both would mean that the flag had both
a True and False value at different times through
the transaction. This is most likely due to having a
check_before_waffle_callback, as is the case with
CourseWaffleFlag.
Example metric value:
"{'another.course.flag': 'False', 'some.flag': 'False', 'some.course.flag': 'Both'}"
Warning: NewRelic does not recommend large custom
metric values due to the potential performance
impact on the agent, so you may just want to
enable when researching usage of a particular flag.
Metric values longer than 255 are truncated.
TODO: A how_to can be added later if we find this
useful, including helpful querying tips.
ARCHBOM-132
- Add a new CourseEnrollmentCelebration model, which ties a
course enrollment to some booleans about progress celebrations
- Add serialization of the new model to the existing courseware_api
app's existing course info view
- Add new API in courseware_api to update a celebration model
Sometimes a course module will not exist and was causing exceptions
in our weekly highlights mail code. This will hopefully guard against
that a bit better.
