There are a number of Django Signals that are on the modulestore's
SignalHandler class, such as SignalHandler.course_published. These
signals can trigger very expensive processes to occur, such as course
overview or block structures generation. Most of the time, the test
author doesn't care about these side-effects.
This commit does a few things:
* Converts the signals on SignalHandler to be instances of a new
SwitchedSignal class, that allows signal sending to be disabled.
* Creates a SignalIsolationMixin helper similar in spirit to the
CacheIsolationMixin, and adds it to the ModuleStoreIsolationMixin
(and thus to ModuleStoreTestCase and SharedModuleStoreTestCase).
* Converts our various tests to use this new mechanism. In some cases,
this means adjusting query counts downwards because they no longer
have to account for publishing listener actions.
Modulestore generated signals are now muted by default during test runs.
Calls to send() them will result in no-ops. You can choose to enable
specific signals for a given subclass of ModuleStoreTestCase or
SharedModuleStoreTestCase by specifying an ENABLED_SIGNALS class
attribute, like the following example:
from xmodule.modulestore.tests.django_utils import ModuleStoreTestCase
class MyPublishTestCase(ModuleStoreTestCase):
ENABLED_SIGNALS = ['course_published', 'pre_publish']
You should take great care when disabling signals outside of a
ModuleStoreTestCase or SharedModuleStoreTestCase, since they can leak
out into other tests. Be sure to always clean up, and never disable
signals outside of testing. Because signals are essentially process
globals, it can have a lot of unpleasant side-effects if we start
mucking around with them during live requests.
Overall, this change has cut the total test execution time for
edx-platform by a bit over a third, though we still spend a lot in
pre-test setup during our test builds.

4. Move microsite_configuration.microsite.get_value usages to site_configuration.helpers.values
TEST_DATA_MIXED_MODULESTORE
Remove these test mixed modulestores:
TEST_DATA_MIXED_TOY_MODULESTORE
TEST_DATA_MIXED_CLOSED_MODULESTORE
TEST_DATA_MIXED_GRADED_MODULESTORE
The existing pattern of using `override_settings(MODULESTORE=...)` prevented
us from having more than one layer of subclassing in modulestore tests.
In a structure like:
@override_settings(MODULESTORE=store_a)
class BaseTestCase(ModuleStoreTestCase):
def setUp(self):
# use store
@override_settings(MODULESTORE=store_b)
class ChildTestCase(BaseTestCase):
def setUp(self):
# use store
In this case, the store actions performed in `BaseTestCase` on behalf of
`ChildTestCase` would still use `store_a`, even though the `ChildTestCase`
had specified to use `store_b`. This is because the `override_settings`
decorator would be the innermost wrapper around the `BaseTestCase.setUp` method,
no matter what `ChildTestCase` does.
To remedy this, we move the call to `override_settings` into the
`ModuleStoreTestCase.setUp` method, and use a cleanup to remove the override.
Subclasses can just defined the `MODULESTORE` class attribute to specify which
modulestore to use _for the entire `setUp` chain_.

This commit updates lms/djangoapps/courseware.
These keys are now objects with a limited interface, and the particular
internal representation is managed by the data storage layer (the
modulestore).
For the LMS, there should be no outward-facing changes to the system.
The keys are, for now, a change to internal representation only. For
Studio, the new serialized form of the keys is used in urls, to allow
for further migration in the future.

This changes logic to allow more missed use cases of course_image to
work properly. The cases are:
. XML courses with the course_image attribute set
. Mongo courses that are imported without a contentstore
. Mongo courses that have course_image set but don't have a content store
It also exports default images_static_course.jpg to
images/static_course.jpg to handle a use case where a course author
uploaded an image to the default location in studio without using the
studio interface for adding course images, they then export the course, and then
import it without a contentstore
change to use regex to do the domain mappings. Also add config to AWS to be able to set from configuration file.
handle cases where HTTP_HOST is none, like in unit tests
add linefeed at end
fix up regex matches
switch to use thread local storage to hold the request itself
.
.
convert over to use open source 3rd party library
convert over to use django-cum
add unit test
remove comment
.
add comment to config setting
fix comment
use better regex for localdev
no need to break
no need to wrap an imported function, it's visible to any file that is importing us
add comment
add unit test
clean up test
use a separate env file to set the preview hostname
