To determine whether or not we need to revoke any program certificates, we first run get_revokable_program_uuids. This calls get_certified_programs, which calls get_credentials, which uses the OpenEdx Core utility method get_api_data. get_api_data makes the API call inside a try block, does raise_for_status also inside the try block, and then catches the exception, logs it, and returns an empty result to the caller.
This means that on a failure to call the credentials API, get_credentials can’t tell the difference between a failure to hit the API (because credentials is, as it sometimes is during a notify_programs run, overloaded), or a learner with no program certificates. In this particular case, this is absolute failure, incorrect behavior.
* Adds a new flag, `raise_on_error` which will make `get_api_data` log the exception and then re-raise the HTTPError, defaulting to false in order to avoid changing the behavior on any other callers
* Also: my editor reformatted all of the touched files to our modern code standards, and it seemed appropriate to let it do that.
* Also: added type hints in some cases, because they helped me write the code and debug. Our test suite definitely reports mypy results on type errors so we are verifying that hints are correct.
