- Use different attribute names for new and old versions of function
- Use a shorter name overall (for ease of analysis)
- Add monitor for fetched-existing case
- Only record computed-stored if `get_or_create` succeeds, but also
break it into created vs. fetched cases by checking return value
- Correct name of monitor in `except` clause -- that should only happen
for a race inside `get_or_create` itself. There's a different race in
the `anonymous_uid_for_user` between fetch and compute/save.
- Other name tweaks

- Make it easier to rotate `SECRET_KEY` by documenting this usage
for both sensitivity and rotation process. (ARCHBOM-1676).
- Just use a hash of the secret rather than HMAC + MD5. We're not
authenticating a message, so HMAC isn't really needed -- it just needs
to be unique, deterministic, and irreversible. SHAKE allows generation
of an arbitrary length hash without needing to truncate.
Also, rename tracking session ID generator for clarity -- there's no
encryption happening here.
Add additional test for existing claim of uniqueness.

These changes were initially made to make it easier to do SECRET_KEY rotations. Along the way, we found it made sense to refractor the code as well.
Changes made:
- changed get_to_create to create because now the code should only get to this block when a write is necessary
- added a lookup for anonymous_user_id. This is to return an existing anonymous_user_id rather than calculating. This will mitigate the results of SECRET_KEY rotation.
- Added monitoring to help us make better decisions: should we not sue SECRET_KEY, performance considerations...
- put old function behind toggle in case something goes wrong in production with new code
- refractoring function structure for better understanding
On a platform that is configured to upload video transcripts to S3
(`DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE = "storages.backends.s3boto3.S3Boto3Storage"`),
uploads from the studio fail with a TypeError: "Unicode-objects must be
encoded before hashing"
A full stacktrace of the issue can be found here:
https://sentry.overhang.io/share/issue/2249b6f67d794c7e986cc288758f4ebe/
This error is triggered by md5 hashing in the botocore library, which
itself is used by the S3Boto3Storage storage class. This error does not
occur with filesystem-based uploads because it does not perform checksum
verification. The reason why this error would not occur on edx.org is
unknown. Similar issues were already fixed from edxval.
To address this issue, we encode the transcript file content prior to
sending it to s3.
This addresses a longstanding TODO item to make runtime.anonymous_student_id for content libraries v2 work the same way as it does for XBlocks in regular courses, persisting the "context ID" (equivalent to course ID) to the database. This way, if SECRET KEY is changed, existing anonymous IDs will continue to work unchanged.
This is a potentially breaking change, but should mostly affect capa problems using external code graders or Matlab code input, and I'm not aware of any such usage of the new runtime / libraries v2.
There is certain gating logic around pre-reqs, timed exams, etc.
that happen at the SequenceModule level, and should be respected
when rendering descendant XBlocks (like individual problems) that
are in that Sequence. Rather than do a risky refactoring, I'm
keeping that logic where it is and having the render_xblock view
climb up through the ancestor list to call the SequenceModule for
that gating information.
We do _not_ check all descendants (so cousin leaf nodes in the
sequence) for cotent-type-based restrictions because sequences can
become very large (esp. when content libraries are used), and there
is a performance overhead.
If the enclosing sequence is gated in some way, we redirect to the
render_xblock view for that sequence, where hopefully some useful
messaging will be available. This is a stopgap. That redirect
should never happen because we should never be calling the leaf
XBlock for a sequence that is restricted in the MFE. But if somehow
we get there anyway, either by bug or by intrepid user fiddling,
it's better to redirect somewhere that an error _might_ be surfaced
rather than just failing.
This will actually be a little overzealous and lock things down
that should be made visible later. If there's a timed exam and the
exam is completed, it should be the case that content is visible
(just read-only). This commit will block the content before the exam
starts (this is right), open the content while the exam is live
(this is right), but make the content unavailable after the exam
period has finished (this is wrong).
But I am going to go forward with this even knowing it's wrong
because:
1. The render_xblock endpoint should never currently be used in
timed exams in an intentional way. Neither the mobile experience
nor the courseware MFE support it.
2. This fix will address security concerns for creative access
patterns, even if it goes too far.
3. We're going to need to do a lot of work to address both pluggable
access permissions handling and special exams in the courseware
MFE, and a better implementation can be done then.
4. I've had multiple failed attempts to get this to work without
breaking things on and off over the course of weeks, and this
is a relatively low risk way of doing it that doesn't involve
a major refactoring (though the bill for that will come due
when we bring timed exams to the MFE).
The clean-js jake command helps remove all minified js files that get generated using the minify bundle jake command
By running clean-js before running the minify command, we ensure that the tinymce files are consistent after being rebuilt/minified.
This is helpful with multiple app servers that are applying the same changes to the TinyMCE editor
This ensures that no matter on which machine the files are rebuilt, the resulting minified plugin files are consistent among all

Blocks that were hidden by access checks would not be used when
calculating past due status for a unit. This adds in a check to
still look at those blocks, but will maintain not rendering them
when being accessed via the MFE
