Does 3 things: (1) Use django for modulestore tests (2) Use normal LMS settings for modulestore tests instead of openedx/tests/settings.py (3) Simplify some TestCase subclasses by converting them to use ModuleStoreTestCase Details and rationale: (1) Currently parts of the modulestore test suite are designed to run "without django", although there is still a lot of django functionality imported at times, and many of the tests do in fact use django. But for the upcoming PR #27565 (moving split's course indexes from MongoDB to MySQL), we will need to always have Django enabled. So this commit paves the way for that change. (2) The previous tests that did use Django used a special settings file, openedx/tests/settings.py which made some debugging confusing because those tests had quite different django settings than other tests. This change deletes that file and runs the tests using the LMS test settings. (3) The test suite also contains many different ways of initializing and testing a modulestore, with significant differences in their configuration, and also a lot of repetition. I find this makes understanding, debugging and writing tests more difficult. So this commit also reduces the number of different "test case using modulestore" base classes: * Simplifies MixedWithOptionsTestCase and MixedSplitTestCase by making them simple subclasses of ModuleStoreTestCase. * Removes PureModulestoreTestCase.
Status: Deprecated (DEPR-24) Responsibilities ================ XModules render specific course run content types to users for both authoring and learning. For instance, there is an XModule for Videos, another for HTML snippets, and another for Sequences. This package provides both the implementations of these XModules as well as some supporting utilities. Direction: Convert and Extract ============================== XModule exists today as a complex set of compatibility shims on top of XBlock (all XModules currently inherit from XBlock). The goal is for all XModules to either be converted into pure XBlocks or be deleted altogether. Extracting them into separate repositories would be ideal, but even just converting them to pure XBlocks would significantly simplify the runtime.
