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.
This function is no longer needed as all XModules have been converted to XBlocks.
XBLOCK_SELECT_FUNCTION Django setting is removed too, as it could take only `prefer_xmodules` or `default_select` values.
Clearing the RequestCache was intended to address memory leaks in the
celery workers. Celery worker processes will process many tasks before
they are terminated. RequestCache cleanup typically happens in the
RequestCacheMiddleware class, and middleware never executes for celery.
To get around that issue, the CLEAR_REQUEST_CACHE_ON_TASK_COMPLETION
setting was created to clear the RequestCache after every task was
successfully completed.
This works fine when celery is running as a separate process, as it's
set up to do in production. But during development, the
CELERY_ALWAYS_EAGER setting variable is set to True, meaning that
celery tasks are run in the same thread as the Django Request. This is
meant to make debugging easier, as task failures run as part of the
request cycle and will raise exceptions that are visible to the
browser.
However, celery tasks are triggered from many different actions. That
means that the RequestCache was being cleared many times during the
course of processing a request. This led to behavior that was
potentially slower, but also incorrect–the RequestCache was getting
flushed in a way that wouldn't happen in any deployed environment
because celery would be running in separate processes there. This came
up when trying to fix an issue around extra history records being
created during problem submissions:
https://discuss.openedx.org/t/extra-history-record-stored-on-each-problem-submission/8081
Furthermore, it's not necessary to prevent RequestCache memory leaks
when running in CELERY_AWLAYS_EAGER mode in development because the
middleware cleanup happens automatically–as everything is running as
part of the request/response cycle.
There are times in which we may want to run celery eagerly and still
clear the cache, such as testing. I have set
CLEAR_REQUEST_CACHE_ON_TASK_COMPLETION = False in all dev and test
environments that already have CELERY_ALWAYS_EAGER = True. The unit
test that specifically tests whether the request cache is getting
cleared upon completion of a celery task then overrides
CLEAR_REQUEST_CACHE_ON_TASK_COMPLETION = True even though
CELERY_ALWAYS_EAGER = True for the sake of that specific testing
purpose.
This attribute is already deprecated for XBlocks in favour of directly
retrieving it like `block.scope_ids.usage_id.context_key`.
This commit also removes some redundant logging code which was omitted in the
Datadog removal in #19420.
This argument was officially used only by the ProblemBlock.
If you need to get the base URL for static assets in your XBlock, please use
`settings.STATIC_URL` directly, instead of `runtime.STATIC_URL`.
Call into the exam service instead of the edx-proctoring plugin on course publish if the course_apps.exams_ida course waffle flag is enabled. This is an early step in moving away from edx-proctoring
This commit removes code that was used to copy Old Mongo courses into
new Split Mongo courses. This includes both the migrate_to_split
management command, as well as the backend code that would be invoked
to re-run Old Mongo courses as Split courses using Studio (the UI for
this was already removed in b429e55c).
This is a part of the Old Mongo removal effort tracked in:
https://github.com/openedx/public-engineering/issues/62
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).
This removes user-facing Studio edit support for Old Mongo courses
(courses that have a CourseKey of the format {org}/{course}/{run}).
This does not affect our normal courses, which have CourseKeys
starting with "course-v1:".
After this commit:
* Old Mongo courses will continue to appear on the Studio course
listing page, but are not clickable.
* Any attempt to directly access an Old Mongo course in Studio via URL
fail with a 404 error.
* Course certificates will still be available for Old Mongo courses.
* Old Mongo courses will continue to be returned by CourseOverviews
and get_course_summaries() calls.
We decided against removing Old Mongo courses from the listing entirely
because that would require very expensive CourseOverviews query to
filter them out. Making that query more efficient would involve a
database migration to add appropriate indexing, which is something else
that we are looking to avoid. CourseOverviews are used everywhere in
the system, so we want to avoid changing how they work so that we can
minimize risk.
This is part of the Old Mongo Modulestore deprecation effort:
https://github.com/openedx/public-engineering/issues/62
A new behaviour:
- Empty signature is still added when initially create a certificate;
- Empty signature isn't added when certificate has at least one signature.
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.
* fix: studio registration using the LMS SSO
Add the social-core settings:
```
INACTIVE_USER_LOGIN = True
INACTIVE_USER_URL = 'http://localhost:18010'
```
Change the registration link's `next` parameter to trigger SSO login
after the registration.
Implements https://github.com/openedx/edx-platform/issues/30682
Produce signal only once transaction for a course publish is
committed, and only for actual courses (not libraries).
- Use newer openedx-events version that has a fix for None datetime
and that has CourseCatalogData without org, number.
- Add edx-event-bus-kafka -- specify recent version that drops
confluent-kafka from explicit deps, fixes common auth settings, and has
a multi-producer caching tweak.
- New functionality is behind toggle
As per https://github.com/openedx/openedx-events/issues/88 we're going to
try explicit dependencies on implementations for now, rather than solve
all the problems we'd encounter by using private dependencies.
