In order to gain more information about ongoing questions related to the potentially out-of-sync nature of the SQL and MongoDb tables in Split Modulestore, I have created the management command to list all courses with out-of-sync active_versions and course_index entires.
This should have no direct impact on anyone, nor alter anything.
part of an on-going investigation to figure out 500 errors in studio.
[MICROBA-1806]
We are aware of product issue where it is possible for a self-paced course-run to get have a `certificate_availability_date` created in the course settings. This can have an adverse effect on the Credentials IDA where a learner's Program Record does not correctly display the course certificates they have earned because of this data. This not only causes confusion for our learners, as it appears that a course certificate a learner can access and share in the LMS is displayed as unearned in the Credential's program record, but this can also cause issues when a learner attempts to share their program record through a credit pathway and the program record would not accurately reflect their program completion.
Unfortunately, the settings that manage the certificate availability date are hidden for self-paced courses in Studio (as they should only be used in instructor-paced courses).
For this reason, we are introducing a management command that will remove a certificate available date for a specified (self-paced) course-run. This will allow us to fix issues for individual learners while we work on a longer-term fix for the larger issue.
* Add new `clean_stale_certificate_available_dates` management command
* Add new `CleanStaleCertificateAvailabilityDates` Configuration Model
* Add tests for the new management command
* (Unrelated cleanup) Fix potential issue with private.py settings in the CMS being overwritten in devstack.py for developers using devstack.
It's safe to remove this because non-staff [1] users cannot access [2]
an `ErrorBlock`. We were able to reproduce this with and without this commit
with the following results:
1. Staff users were seeing the `ErrorBlock`.
2. Non-staff users were getting an empty `<div class="vert-mod"></div>`.
In theory, error blocks should be hidden in the Learning MFE because of this
option [3]. However, when we manually set `hide_access_error_blocks` to
`False`, we kept getting identical results (with and without this commit), so
it looks that the removal `NonStaffErrorBlock` was just omitted at some point.

In a previous PR #28686, the ability to see and enable/disable wiki and progress tabs was removed from studio along with the ability to re-order non-static tabs. The ability to toggle the Wiki tab was moved to the pages and resources section of the course authoring MFE. If that MFE is unavailable this means there is no way to show/hide the Wiki. This reverts some of the old changes if the pages and resources view is disabled.

Remove temporary FutureCourseWaffleFlag class;
Update ora2 and edx-toggles to versions cleaned from the
LegacyWaffle* classes;
Replace `override_flag`s with `override_waffle_flag`;
Replace `override_switch`s with `override_waffle_switch` (where it's possible).
BREAKING: get rid of the LegacyWaffle-based CourseWaffleFlag.
Both CourseWaffleFlag and FutureCourseWaffleFlag now use the modern
WaffleFlag as parent class. FutureCourseWaffleFlag left to support ORA
transition to modern waffle.
Switch to the ORA version which supporting new Waffles.
This is a first stage for removing the LegacyWaffle* classes.
LegacyWaffleFlag usage replaced with WaffleFlag;
LegacyWaffleSwitche usage replaced with WaffleSwitch;
New CourseWaffleFlag added to the temporary module __future__ as FutureCourseWaffleFlag;
Updated all the imports to use CourseWaffleFlag from the __future__ module;
BREAKING CHANGE: A number of toggle related constants (e.g. ENABLE_ACCESSIBILITY_POLICY_PAGE)
changed types. They were strings, and are now toggle instances (e.g. WaffleSwitch). Although the entire
refactor should be self-contained in edx-platform, if any plugins or dependencies were directly
using these constants, they will break. If this is the case, try to find a better publicized way of
exposing those toggles.
This:
1. Removes the `filestore` property from the `ModuleSystem` in favor of
the `runtime.resources_fs` property.
In the original code, `filestore` is equal to
`DescriptorSystem.runtime.resources_fs`. It's safe to replace it with
`ModuleSystem.runtime.resources_fs` because both runtimes are combined
using the `CachingDescriptorSystem`. It provides the `resources_fs` property
that uses the same file storage.
2. Renames `filestore` argument to `resources_fs` in the `LoncapaSystem`
constructor.
3. Adds the deprecated `filestore` property to the `ModuleSystemShim`
and `RuntimeShim`.
Update the README of the CMS's CourseGraph support app:
* Point to the newly-developed CourseGraph plugin for Tutor,
and remove some prose that's now redundant with the Tutor
plugin's README.
* Add a link to the now-public CourseGraph Queries wiki page.
* Capitalize the G in CourseGraph.
* Fix a couple misc. formatting things.
This introduces two admin actions:
* Dump to CourseGraph (respect cache), and
* Dump to CourseGraph (override cache)
which allow admins to select a collection of courses from Django
admin and dump them to the Neo4j instance specified by
settings.COURSEGRAPH_CONNECTION, with or without respecting
the cache (that is: whether the course has already been dumped
since its last publishing).
The `get_course_last_published` function is used by CourseGraph to
determine whether or not a course should be dumped to Neo4j.
If the course hasn't been published since it was last dumped to
Neo4j, then it can be skipped (unless the override_cache option
is enabled).
The function was previously built using the BlockStructure
data model. While this worked fine in Production instances that
enable `block_structure.storage_backing_for_cache`, this
implementation did NOT work in development environments,
which do not use the BlockStrcture model.
Instead, we switch to using CourseOverview.modified to
approximate when a course was last published. This is method
has fewer moving parts and is universally available across
instances.
Previously, CourseGraph needed to be kept up-to-date by
running `./manage.py dump_to_neo4j ...` manually or on a cron timer.
This introduces a CMS new setting: COURSEGRAPH_DUMP_COURSE_ON_PUBLISH.
When enabled, the CMS course_published signal handler will
asynchronously dump each individual course to CourseGraph when it
is published.
This follows a pattern established by other subsystems like
learning_sequences and special exam registration, both of which
fire off asynchronous post-processing tasks from the course-
publish handler.
Introduce a new CMS settings COURSEGRAPH_CONNECTION,
which allows operators to specify default connection paramters
for a Neo4j instance.
This has three purposes:
* The `./manage.py cms dump_to_neo4j` management command will be
much easier for developers and operators to type out because connection
arguments can now be omitted. Note that connection arguments, if
supplied, will override the arguments specified in CMS settings.
* The automatic push-to-coursegraph-on-publish-signal introduced in
subsequent commits can use these connection settings.
* The CourseGraph Django admin actions introduced in subsequent
commits can use these connection settings.
Move most docs out of docstring and into programatically-
displayable argument help text.
Also, the 'Example Usage' was out of date. This commit updates it to:
* use `./manage.py cms ...' instead of `./manage.py lms ...', and
* use `--port` instead of `--https_port`.
This code was originally located at:
./openedx/core/djangoapps/coursegraph
However, code makes more sense within the ./cms tree, because:
* it is responsible for publishing course content to an
external system, with is within the responsibilities of CMS, and
* is uses modulestore, which is discouraged for use in LMS
(see 0011-limit-modulestore-use-in-lms.rst).
So, we move the code to:
./cms/djangoapps/coursegraph
and uninstall coursegraph from LMS.
We do not expect this refactor to have any breaking downstream effects.
- Adds a BackfillCourseTabsConfig model to manage the arguments
to that command
- Adds batching arguments using that model
- Adds some extra logging for the failed courses
Deprecates the following attributes from ModuleSystem:
* replace_urls
* replace_course_urls
* replace_jump_to_id_urls
A new ReplaceURLService is created as replacement with a unified replace_urls method
Previously, course tabs would only be created once and never try to
update the default tabs again. This leads to an issue if you ever want
to add a new tab. With this command, you can now update the default tabs
for all existing courses and new courses will pick it up upon creation
when CourseTabList.initialize_default is called.
Description
This is a follow up to #29058 and #29413. This is the next step in moving part of the modulestore data (the course indexes / "active versions" table) from MongoDB to MySQL.
There are four steps planned in moving course index data to MySQL:
Step 1: create the tables in MySQL, start writing to MySQL + MongoDB ✅ done
Step 2: migrate all remaining courses to MySQL ✅ done
Step 3: switch reads from MongoDB to MySQL (this PR)
Step 4 (much later, once we know this is working well): stop writing to MongoDB altogether.
Supporting information
OpenCraft Jira ticket: MNG-2557
Status
✅ Tested with a large Open edX instance is in progress.
Testing instructions
Try making changes in Studio and verify that they work fine.
Deadline
None
Currently, if a subsection was a special exam, we do not allow it to be changed back as a special exam. This PR would loosen that change to only disallow reintroducing the exam back to proctored exam. Timed exam can be updated however the user wants
