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: Maintenance Responsibilities ================ The edxnotes app is responsible for displaying parts of the Notes UI to students in different parts of the LMS, as well as figuring out whether Notes is enabled for a particular situation. The bulk of the actual work in storing the notes is done by a separate service (see the edx-notes-api repo). Direction: Extract into Plugin ============================== Notes needs to insert a new tab into the LMS courseware, as well as wrap/decorate the courseware XBlock output so that it can add annotation capability to it. Both of these can now be done via plugins (decorating XBlock output can be done with XBlock Asides), and this app should be extracted into a separate repository. This app is also currently proxying some requests through the LMS instead of hitting its service endpoint directly. It should instead always let the user's browser hit the edx-notes-api service directly. The edxnotes app also has an endpoint to get JWT tokens that the edx-notes-api will accept. This should be removed, and the edx-notes-api service converted to use the OAuth2 + JWT Cookie approach detailed in the `Transport JWT in HTTP Cookies <https://github.com/edx/edx-platform/blob/master/openedx/core/djangoapps/oauth_dispatch/docs/decisions/0009-jwt-in-session-cookie.rst>`_ decision record for ``oauth_dispatch``.
