Because the available date update to the CourseOverview happens inside a view's signal and we have atomic requests on, the read that was happening inside the task happened *before* the write was commited to the database. To avoid the unknown bugs that would come from disabling atomic transactions for that view (since it's large), this passes the date we want down through the signals and tasks so we can skip the DB read at the end.
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`_ 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.
