* feat: save author pronoun separately for notification to prevent info loss
* fix: missing pronoun in comment on followed post
* test: updated tests for new comment notifications
We sometimes see rendering errors in the error page itself, which then
cause another attempt at rendering the error page. I'm not sure _exactly_
how the loop is occurring, but it looks something like this:
1. An error is raised in a view or middleware and is not caught by
application code
2. Django catches the error and calls the registered uncaught error
handler
3. Our handler tries to render an error page
4. The rendering code raises an error
5. GOTO 2 (until some sort of server limit is reached)
By catching all errors raised during error-page render and substituting in
a hardcoded string, we can reduce server resources, avoid logging massive
sequences of recursive stack traces, and still give the user *some*
indication that yes, there was a problem.
This should help address https://github.com/openedx/edx-platform/issues/35151
At least one of these rendering errors is known to be due to a translation
error. There's a separate issue for restoring translation quality so that
we avoid those issues in the future (https://github.com/openedx/openedx-translations/issues/549)
but in general we should catch all rendering errors, including unknown
ones.
Testing:
- In `lms/envs/devstack.py` change `DEBUG` to `False` to ensure that the
usual error page is displayed (rather than the debug error page).
- Add line `1/0` to the top of the `student_dashboard` function in
`common/djangoapps/student/views/dashboard.py` to make that view error.
- In `lms/templates/static_templates/server-error.html` replace
`static.get_platform_name()` with `None * 7` to make the error template
itself produce an error.
- Visit <http://localhost:18000/dashboard>.
Without the fix, the response takes 10 seconds and produces a 6 MB, 85k
line set of stack traces and the page displays "A server error occurred.
Please contact the administrator."
With the fix, the response takes less than a second and produces three
stack traces (one of which contains the error page's rendering error).
* feat: removing visible_date-to-creds updates per-cert
The credentials IDA now relies on the course certificate configuration
and (if present) `certificate_available_date` for displayability. We no
longer need to send `visible_date` updates for every awarded certificate
when a course overview changes.
[APER-2823]
Removes React compoents and functionality tied to a private 2U/edx.org-specific Demographics IDA from edx-platform.
This PR attempts to remove everything added from this PR: https://github.com/openedx/edx-platform/pull/24956/. This includes the React components created to collect and transmit Demographics data, as well as functionality for managing JWT and CSRF tokens copied from `frontend-platform` to edx-platform when originally implementing the CTA and modal components.
* feat: linting before touching all these files
All these files are old enough, relative either to our current linting
rules or our current linter automation, that modifying anything in them
either makes the linter cranky or wants to reformat the entire file.
Rather than mixing cleanup with code changes, this commit just lints
this set of files to our current standards.
The LMS `certificates` app `README` has been, and the
openedx core `credentials` and `programs` READMEs have been created.
This will clarify not only what the limited responsibilities
of each of these django apps is, but also the way they interact with
each other.

This necessarily involves switching from calling
`StaticContent.is_versioned_asset_path` to determine whether to handle the
request to having a hardcoded urlpattern. I've made the choice to hardcode
the other two patterns similarly rather than using imported constants. The
mapping of URL patterns to database records should be explicit (even though
we don't expect those constants to change out from under us.)
I've renamed the middleware rather than choosing a new name for the
implementation because there are other references in tests and other code.
This was the smaller change.
A note on HTTP methods: The middleware currently completely ignores the
request's HTTP method, so I wanted to confirm that only GETs were being
used in practice. This query reveals that 99.8% of requests that this
middleware handles are GET, with just a smattering of PROPFIND and OPTIONS
and a tiny number of HEAD and POST:
```
from Transaction select count(*) facet request.method
where name = 'WebTransaction/Function/openedx.core.djangoapps.contentserver.middleware:StaticContentServer'
since 4 weeks ago
```
The git-ignored target directory for LMS Sass compilation is:
lms/static/css
Unfortunately, that directory contains git-controlled directory of
vendored-in static assets:
lms/static/css/vendor
This is a problem for a couple reasons:
1. In Tutor, we would like to make lms/static/css a symlink to an
external location for the sake of build efficiency. This is
impossible to do without clobbering lms/static/css/vendor and
dirtying the git state.
2. More generally, when optimizing (or just understanding) a build
system, it adds complexity when git-controlled source directories are
mixed up inside git-ignored target directories.
The solution is to simply merge these vendored-in assets to another
existing git-controlled vendor directory:
common/static/css/vendor
LMS already reads assets from this folder, so no further changes need to
be made. common/static/css is fully git-controlled, so we avoid the
complexity described above.
This commit modifies the approve_id_verifications management command to send an IDV approval email to learners. This ensures that learners are informed of approvals to their IDV attempts when performed using the management command. This more closely mirrors the way IDV approvals work when using an IDV vendor.
