- remove modulestore usage in `generation_handler.py`
- add duplicate functions that utilize a CourseKey or CourseOverview to remove dependence on modulestore (this will be cleaned up (if possible) at a later part of this refactor)
- add python API function to `content`/`course_overview` app that will retrieve a single CourseOverview (rather than a serialized list of dicts of CourseOverview data)
This helper is used by the LMS, CMS, _and_ `openedx.core`,
so let's move it to `openedx.core` to reduce import complexity.
The following files no longer import from LMS:
- cms/djangoapps/contentstore/management/commands/edit_course_tabs.py
- lms/djangoapps/ccx/migrations/0006_set_display_name_as_override.py
- openedx/core/djangoapps/ccxcon/api.py
- openedx/core/djangoapps/verified_track_content/models.py
- openedx/features/course_experience/plugins.py
Note: The LTI XBlock has a dependency on this import path (!?);
a fix can be found here [1].

We have been bucketing all users into the relative dates experiment
since May 18, 2020. We no longer need to keep this as an
ExperimentWaffleFlag and can convert to a CourseWaffleFlag (so it
continues to support exemptions).
A variety of updates were made to improve the toggle documentation:
* Added comments to help ensure that the waffle(), waffle_switches(),
waffle_flags() anti-pattern won't be contagious (copied).
* Some minor toggle_description updates.
* Removed empty toggle_target_removal_date annotations for
non-temporary toggles.
* Removed empty optional toggle_warnings annotations.
* Removed empty optional toggle_tickets annotations.
* Removed deprecated toggle_category, toggle_status,
and toggle_expiration_date annotations.
* Fixed some indents, use cases, and implementations.

* MST-682 Add external_user_key to the student profile CSV
This is a request from some Masters school partners. They would like to download the student enrolled list with the Masters external_user_key data referenced. This way, the schools can properly match the students enrolled in the course with the students enrolled through Masters enrollment system

- When creating bulk allowlist entries make the tool use the `is_on_allowlist` certificate API function over accessing the CertificateWhitelist model methods directly
- When creating bulk allowlist entries make the tool use the `create_or_update_allowlist_entry` certificate API function over using CertificateWhitelist model/Django ORM directly
[MICROBA-1025]
- Update management command to use the same logic that the Instructor Dashboard uses
- Fix bug in management command where processing stopped when encountering a user that did not exist
- Add more logging
- Add and update tests where needed
django-not-configured is an error raised by pylint (with
the pylint-django plugin) when it's not correctly configured.
We should not be applying lint amnesty for such a violation.
[MICROBA-1038]
- Today, we check if a learner is actively enrolled in a course-run before we add or remove them from the Instructor Dashboard allow list. We ran into an issue where we couldn't remove an entry from the list because the learner is no longer actively enrolled in the course-run. Update instructor dashboard logic to only check enrollment status when _adding_ a learner to the allow list.
[MICROBA-1024]
- Move some of the recently added logic from the instructor app to the certificates app
- Attempt to not use other certificate models directly in the code I am touching, moving this logic to certificates as well.
[MICROBA-908]
- When adding a learner to the allowlist we now check if they have an invalidated certificate on the blocklist
- Refactor some pieces of the Certificate Invalidation flow
- Make it so an error message is displayed when trying to add someone to CertificateInvalidation list if they already appear on the Allowlist
- Add support to pass back and display an error message to Instructor Dashboard UI if a learner already appears on the certificate invalidation list when attempting to create certificate exceptions in bulk
- Add python tests for backend changes
- Disable xss linting warnings in certificate_bulk_whitelist.js (checked with security group first)
This commit removes several waffle toggles that have been enabled
on edx.org for years. It's time to remove the rollout gating for
these features and enable them by default.
This doesn't directly change any behavior. But it does create new
database objects by default now and allows for enabling other
schedule based features more easily.
Specifically, the following toggles were affected.
schedules.create_schedules_for_course
- Waffle flag removed as always-enabled
- We now always create a schedule when an enrollment is created
schedules.send_updates_for_course
- Waffle flag removed as always-enabled
- Course update emails are sent as long as the ScheduleConfig
allows it.
- This is not a change in default behavior, because ScheduleConfig
is off by default.
dynamic_pacing.studio_course_update
- Waffle switch removed as always-enabled
- Course teams can now always edit course updates directly in Studio
ScheduleConfig.create_schedules
ScheduleConfig.hold_back_ratio
- Model fields for rolling out the schedules feature
- Schedules are now always created
- This commit only removes references to these fields, they still
exist in the database. A future commit will remove them entirely
This commit also adds a new has_highlights field to CourseOverview.
This is used to cache whether a course has highlights, used to
decide which course update email behavior they get. Previously every
enrollment had to dig into the modulestore to determine that.
The rate limiting library computes the rate limit by chunking time since
the epoch into chunks of whatever your period is. It then adds some
consistent offset based on your key. This means that at certain times,
you are closer to the end of your rate limit time period than others.
So moving 1 minute into the future would put you into the next time
chunk and your rate limit would be reset.
I updated the test to test rate limit at the same time as the initial
call to ensure that we don't end up on the other side of a time chunk
boundary by accident. We were seeing times in CI where it
would occasionally fail because time chunking wasn't in our favor.
This deprecates `save=False` for several functions and removes all known
usages of the parameter but does not actually remove the parameter.
Instead, it will emit a deprecation warning if the parameter is used.
We can remove the parameter as soon as we feel sure nothing is using it.
Now that we have refactored `anonymous_id_for_user` to always prefer
retrieving an existing ID from the database -- and observed that only a
small fraction of calls pass save=False -- we can stop respecting
save=False. This opens the door for future improvements, such as generating
random IDs or switching to the external user ID system.
Metrics: I observe that 1 in 16 requests for new, non-request-cached
anon user IDs are made with save=False. But 71% of all calls are served
from the request cache, and 99.7% of the misses are served from the DB.
save=False only appear to come from intermittent spikes as reports are
generated and are low in absolute number.
Also document usage/risk/rotation of secret in anonymous user ID
generation as indicated by `docs/decisions/0008-secret-key-usage.rst`
ADR on `SECRET_KEY` usage.
