This commit removes all remaining references to cs_comments_service
except the ForumsConfig model. The only purpose of keeping the model
and table around is so that the webapp processes don't start throwing
errors during deployment because they're running the old code for a
few minutes after the database migration has run. We can drop
ForumsConfig and add the drop-table migration after Ulmo is cut.
Also bumps the openedx-forum version to 0.3.7

This removes the last remaining code that called out to the
cs_comments_service. All forums backend logic now uses the v2 API from
the forum repo (https://github.com/openedx/forum). This does NOT remove
MongoDB support.
This also implements the endpoint to retrieve all comments for a user
using the new forum backend. This is not actually called from any known
frontend code, but it has not been formally deprecated as an endpoint,
and therefore needs to be supported.
As part of the cleanup, the ENABLE_FORUM_V2 course waffle flag has also
been removed, along with all remaining switching logic that used to
route between the Python API in the forum repo and service calls to the
cs_comments_service Ruby service.
Other endpoints affected (switching logic removed):
* get course commentable counts
* get/update course user stats
* update comment/thread/user
* delete thread (implementation moved to forum repo)
* follow
* retire user
This is part of the following overall DEPR ticket:
https://github.com/openedx/cs_comments_service/issues/437
Both 'provider' and 'provider_type' have been used for storing the discussion provider type in course 'discussions_settings' field, there are some places in the code checking for 'provider' and others checking for 'provider_type', in some cases this can cause a bug where it doesn't detect the correct provider which causes discussion settings not being copied correctly when a course is cloned.
This change prioritises the `provider_type` setting over `provider` and reads `provider` only as a fallback. The `provider` setting is now made read-only just for backwards-compatibility, to avoid confusion.
* feat: Reapply "Integrate Forum V2 into edx-platform"
This reverts commit 818aa343a2.
* feat: make it possible to globally disable forum v2 with setting
We introduce a setting that allows us to bypass any course waffle flag
check. The advantage of such a setting is that we don't need to find the
course ID: in some cases, we might not have access to the course ID, and
we need to look for it... in forum v2.
See discussion here: https://github.com/openedx/forum/issues/137
* chore: bump openedx-forum to 0.1.5
This should fix an issue with index creation on edX.org.
This commit introduces the new Forum V2 application, allowing users to choose between the legacy Forum V1 and the new Forum V2 at the course level.
Key Changes:
- Added waffle flag `discussions.enable_forum_v2` to enable Forum V2 for selected courses, allowing coexistence with Forum V1.
- Default data storage for Forum V2 is set to MongoDB, with an option to switch to MySQL using the waffle flag `forum_v2.enable_mysql_backend`.
- Introduced management command `forum_migrate_course_from_mongodb_to_mysql` for per-course data migration from MongoDB to MySQL.
Note: This PR does not include all unit tests for the Forum V2 native API due to ongoing migration efforts. Further updates will follow to ensure full test coverage before final release.

PII Annotations are very out of date, this commit adds most that were
missing in edx-platform, and some additional annotations to the
safelist. It is not comprehensive, several other upstream Open edX
packages also need to be updated. It also does not include removing
annotations that have been moved upstream, or been removed entirely.
Those are separate follow-on tasks.
As of Python 3.3, the 3rd-party `mock` package has been subsumed into the
standard `unittest.mock` package. Refactoring tests to use the latter will
allow us to drop `mock` as a dependency, which is currently coming in
transitively through requirements/edx/paver.in.
We don't actually drop the `mock` dependency in this PR. That will happen
naturally in:
* https://github.com/openedx/edx-platform/pull/34830
* feat: adds ability to disable posting in discussions indefinitely
* test: fixed ffailing test cases
* test: added new model field in test cases
* refactor: removes unnecessary migrations
* refactor: removed previous migrations and adds new field in discussions api
* refactor: added docstring and changed method name

* fix: update default for discussion_enabled flag
* feat: removed redundant tests and fixes
When running in a sharded MongoDB setup it's possible that querying the
modulestore right after the course publish signal will not return the
latest data.
This commit adds a delay similar to the one used in other places in the
codebase for a similar reason.
Course topics are now created by traversing the entire course structure from top to bottom instead of starting at the sequential level and then moving up or down as needed.
This also introduces a lot of debug logs to pontetially find the reason why under some circumstances new units don't get processed and end up without a discussions topic.
This commit attempts to fix cases where dicussion topic links aren't created
during a provider change.
It does so by eliminating areas where there could be desynchronisation between
the configuration the course configuration in Mogo and the discussion config
in MySQL.
The topic creation code now uses the database version of the config which is
more recent.
The new mechanism for marking that a unit has discussions is to use the
discussion_enabled flag instead of adding a discussion block. This change
adds code that is run during the course rerun process to mark any existing
units that have a discussion block as discussible using the new mechanism.
It doesn't touch the existing discussion blocks.
If the new discussions configuration experience is globally enabled, this
will also switch from the legacy provider to the new provider. It analyses
the course for any discussion blocks that have been added to graded
subsections, and if that is the case, it also automatically enables
discussions in graded subsections (which are otherwise disabled for new
courses by default).
Tracks a discussion topics' section and subsection in a new context field so that we have access to that information when the topic's section/subsection/unit has been deleted. This is then used when a topic is deleted to append the section and subsection name to the topic title.
ADR: https://github.com/openedx/edx-platform/pull/29928
This PR changes the default behaviour of the discussions experience by making the previous "unit-level
visibility" the default mechanism for configuring discussions.
Prior to this PR, under the new discussions configuration experience, all units would automatically get
assigned a discussion topic and have discussions enabled for them (other than units in graded or exam
subsections). However, if authors wanted they could enabled a custom visibility mode which would allow
toggling discussions on or off on a per-unit level.
This PR makes this custom visibility mode the standard behaviour (and eventually, only behaviour)
and enables discussion for all units by default. This replicates the behaviour that already existed,
however, now gives authors control over disabling discussions for individual units by default.
It also removes the ability to disable discussions for all units (while still keeping course-wide
discussions) enabled.
The current logic for showing discussion providers makes it hard to switch
from the legacy to the new provider. This commit changes the conditions in
which different providers are shown, and which provider is used as default.
Before this commit, the new provider would be hidden if the legacy provider
was in use and vice-versa. So both would only be shown if neither legacy
nor the new provider were in use (i.e. an LTI provider was in use).
Now, all providers are always displayed to global staff. If the waffle
flag for the new provider is set
(`discussions.enable_new_structure_discussions`), then new provider is
always displayed, and the legacy provider is hidden unless it's currently
in use.
If flag is not set, then the new provider is always hidden unless it is
used by a course.
Finally, the default provider now depends on the flag above. If it is
set globally, then the default provider is the new provider, otherwise
the legacy provider remains the default provider.
JIRA: https://openedx.atlassian.net/browse/BOM-2580
This PR aims at refactoring the discussion xblock sub project and moving it within the xmodule directory effectively removing its position as a sub project within edx-platform
- Moving xmodule folder to root as we're dissolving sub-projects of common folder in edx-platform
- More info: https://openedx.atlassian.net/browse/BOM-2579
- -e common/lib/xmodule has been removed from the requirements as xmodule has itself become the part of edx-platform and not being installed through requirements
- The test files common/lib/xmodule/test_files/ have been removed as they are not being used anymore
