In dfb80acc1, we allowed group_access settings to bubble up from
Units to Sequences in the case where all Units had the same group
settings for a particular user partition. This caused an issue
where the group being bubbled up could be empty if the Unit was
misconfigured in OLX (this is already caught if done directly on
the Sequence). This commit fixes things so that empty partition
group settings never bubble up.
We don't want empty partition groups to bubble up because it would
mean that no groups are allowed to access the Sequence, which is
probably an error. (There is a separate visible_to_staff_only flag
when you want to hide content from all non-staff users.)
NOTE: This will require a forced backfill of course outlines to update
the course content data in learning_sequences:
python manage.py cms backfill_course_outlines --force
Without this backfill, the learning_sequences API will continue to serve
stale content data that has no user partition group data. It won't cause
errors, but it won't do the exclusions properly.
Commit summary:
* Created EnrollmentTrackPartitionGroupsOutlineProcessor to process the
enrollment_track User Partition Group, allowing Sequences and Sections
to be removed based on their group_access settings.
* Added user_partition_groups attribute to CourseLearningSequenceData
and CourseSectionData in learning_sequences/data.py, along with
backing model data.
* get_outline_from_modulestore now extracts group_access settings from
Sections and Sequences. It also bubbles up group_access settings from
Units, meaning that if a Sequence with no group_access setting has
Units that are all set to show only to the Verified enrollment track,
then the Sequence will only show to the Verified enrollment track.
This commit adds model-level support for all user partition groups by
capturing all the content group associations (group_access), but it only
implements the code checks for the enrollment track partition. It's not
clear that we want to generalize, since there's only one other partition
type (A/B testing) that is applicable at the outline level.
It's important to note that there is no way to set the group_access for
a Section or Sequence in Studio today. It's only possible by direct
editing of the OLX for import. That being said, the block structures
framework supports applying course groups at this level, and this commit
moves learning_sequences closer to feature parity.
The bubbling up from Units to the parent Sequence was done to mitigate
confusion when a Sequence is entirely composed of Units that are not
visible to the user because of content group restrictions. It's not
clear whether this is something we want to do in the long term, since it
would simplify the code to always specify group_access at the Sequence
level. This first pass is done partially to collect better data about
places in our courses where this kind of usage is already happening.
Most of the EnrollmentTrackPartitionGroupsOutlineProcessor code and its
tests were written by @schenedx.
By "useless" due dates I'm specifically talking about due dates which
are erroneously set in the course strucutre, but which don't matter
because the entire course is self-paced, rather than instructor-paced.
JIRA:EDUCATOR-5713
Synchronously registering proctored exams while saving content to studio is causing a significant slow down. The function that registers the exams has been moved to an async task. In addition, a signal handler on_course_publish has also been moved to the async task, as it relies on exam registration being complete before being executed.
Modify the existing login api in a way that
it will allow the user to login via username as well.
currently it is only allowing email to log the user in.

* Enable import failure and email with Errors/Warnings
This PR enables course import failure in case of olx validation errors. Here is the flow.
* Course Import tries to import foo.tar.gz into their course shell
* Course olx contains validation errors
* During course import, olx is validated and import is failed with the error message "Course olx validation failed. Please check your email."
* System generates an email with ERRORs & WARNINGs in the body of the email.
This PR also adds a waffle flag contentstore.bypass_olx_failure. The purpose of this test flag is to allow course teams to unblock by enabling them to bypass the
the olx-validation failure.
The workaround is shared on the ticket TNL8214.
* Disable olx validation out of the box.
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].

Attempting to import packages from
lms/djangoapps, cms/djangoapps, or common/djangoapps
as if they are import roots will now
simply raise ImportErrors (like any other invalid
import) instead of DeprecatedEdxPlatformImportError.
See docs/decisions/0007-sys-path-modification-removal.rst
for more details.
* Use config settings for olxcleaner
Use config settings instead of hardcoded values for olx validation. This would help in adding a great deal of control when you want to change these settings in the future. With this approch we would not need a redeploy.
* Use configs and deprecate waffleflag and also add / update tests
We have decided not to pursue the decentralized devstack design right
now and so we want to cleanup files and task that were built as a part
of the process.

Currently, login and registration forms and view to log the user in
are sharing same ratelimit settings which is causing too much noise
while rendering forms.This PR will introduce a separate

Video SJSON transcripts are supposed to be UTF-8 encoded, but SJSON
is an ad hoc thing we made up to make it easier to build the
transcripts viewer in the VideoBlock, and it's not well specified.
Prior to this commit, if you had an SJSON file with Latin-1 encoded
text outside the standard ASCII range (e.g. û), then we'd error out
while trying to export it.
This was blocking an effort to export some Old Mongo courses (TNL-8007).
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.
