This specifically enables/disables the underlying comment service client
used to make calls to the service. When disabled, this client will now
throw an exception which can be propagated upwards so that callers can
make the right decision about how to notify users of the error, or
handle retry, etc etc.
We're often grabbing the metadata of a specific thread to then be able
to perform other operations, but we never need the actual responses or
comments of a thread unless we're displaying it in the normal forum
view.
This change sets a default of with_responses=False, which instructs the
comment service to not send back the responses/comments for the given
thread. We only ask for responses in the case of rendering a single
thread or inline discussion.
2. Add site configuration overrides to theming/helpers.py
3. Move microsite.get_value from theming/helpers to site_configuration/helpers
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_.
