Commit 7f59688 attempted to solve this using
`CourseOverview.course_exists`, but that check is case-
insensitive. This commit instead does a small refactor
to `lms.djangoapps.courseware.get_course` so that we can
handle a failed course lookup without broadly catching
a `ValueError`.
By explicitly importing the legacy namespace classes, we make it clear
that we are using soon-to-be-deprecated classes. We will then be able to
start removing the legacy classes, one module at a time.

Opens the course blocks API to public access, and allows anonymous users to
use the API to fetch data about public courses. Anonymous users need to
explicitly pass an empty username parameter to get the block data that is
visible to the public.
Instead of going up the stacktrace to find the module names of waffle
flags and switches, we manually pass the module __name__ whenever the
flag is created. This is similar to `logging.getLogger(__name__)`
standard behaviour.
As the waffle classes are used outside of edx-platform, we make the new
module_name argument an optional keyword argument. This will change once
we pull waffle_utils outside of edx-platform.
Note that the module name is normally only required to view the list of
existing waffle flags and switches. The module name should not be
necessary to verify if a flag is enabled. Thus, maybe it would make
sense to create a `add` class methor similar to:
class WaffleFlag:
@classmethod
def add(cls, namespace, flag, module):
instance = cls(namespace, flag)
cls._class_instances.add((instance, module))
These are expensive, read-only web requests. Unfortunately,
middleware adds writes, and we currently run with view-level
transactions enabled by default. Holding those long transactions
open has caused extra load on the database and been our largest
sources of django.db.utils:OperationError exceptions.
This has been particularly noticeable as we start deploying the
new Courseware MFE, which uses the BlocksInCourseView more
frequently.
This change will prevent Library Content from being marked as
complete on view and the corresponding version bump to
edx-completion contains code that will start looking at the
children of the library content for completeness.
We saw an increase in response time with recent changes to the logic
behind get_course_assignments. This effort works to better access
the information we need in order to improve performance.
Namely, this is done by using the course_blocks_api
This is a helpful class when running an experiment, to help
bucket users and keep track of which enrollments to consider
as part of the experiment.
