[MICROBA-1806] We are aware of product issue where it is possible for a self-paced course-run to get have a `certificate_availability_date` created in the course settings. This can have an adverse effect on the Credentials IDA where a learner's Program Record does not correctly display the course certificates they have earned because of this data. This not only causes confusion for our learners, as it appears that a course certificate a learner can access and share in the LMS is displayed as unearned in the Credential's program record, but this can also cause issues when a learner attempts to share their program record through a credit pathway and the program record would not accurately reflect their program completion. Unfortunately, the settings that manage the certificate availability date are hidden for self-paced courses in Studio (as they should only be used in instructor-paced courses). For this reason, we are introducing a management command that will remove a certificate available date for a specified (self-paced) course-run. This will allow us to fix issues for individual learners while we work on a longer-term fix for the larger issue. * Add new `clean_stale_certificate_available_dates` management command * Add new `CleanStaleCertificateAvailabilityDates` Configuration Model * Add tests for the new management command * (Unrelated cleanup) Fix potential issue with private.py settings in the CMS being overwritten in devstack.py for developers using devstack.
This is the core repository of the Open edX software. It includes the LMS
(student-facing, delivering courseware), and Studio (course authoring)
components.
Installation
------------
Installing and running an Open edX instance is not simple. We strongly
recommend that you use a service provider to run the software for you. They
have free trials that make it easy to get started:
https://openedx.org/get-started/
If you will be modifying edx-platform code, the `Open edX Developer Stack`_ (Devstack) is
a Docker-based development environment.
If you want to run your own Open edX server and have the technical skills to do
so, `Open edX Installation Options`_ explains your options.
