The package maintainer of the "tutor" package was kind enough to
transfer ownership of the project to us. This is great, because we no
longer have to use the "openedx" suffix, which is trademarked.
For the time being, we keep maintaining the "tutor-openedx" package
which has a 1-to-1 dependency on the "tutor" package. In the future, we
expect that we will no longer push upgrades to tutor-openedx.
- [Bugfix] Fix double pulling mongodb image when upgrading from Koa to Lilac.
- [Improvement] Better logging during `plugins disable`.
- [Bugfix] Fix "upstream sent too big header" error during login of existing users after a Koa to Lilac upgrade.
- [Feature] Added the ability to skip `config.yml` file modification while running `tutor config save` command with `-e` or `--env-only` flag.
- [Feature] Add new config value `FORUM_MONGODB_DATABASE` to set the forum database name
In config.yml the new value FORUM_MONGO_DB_DATABASE was added with `cs_comments_service` as default value.
In docker-entrypoint.sh of forum I changed the hardcoded `cs_commecnts_service` with the new config value.
Multiple .yml files changed to handle the new config value.
When disable a plugin that set config entried, such as the minio plugin, tutor was logging the following:
Disabling plugin minio...
Removed config entry OPENEDX_AWS_ACCESS_KEY=openedx
Removed config entry OPENEDX_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY={{ MINIO_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY }}
Plugin disabled
The config values were not rendered during printing, which is a shame, because
the whole point of this log line is to warn users of passwords/secrets that are
being removed. Here, we make sure that the config values are properly rendered.
The new logs are now:
Disabling plugin minio...
Removing config entry OPENEDX_AWS_ACCESS_KEY=openedx
Removing config entry OPENEDX_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=64vpCVLxhDxBuNjakSrX4CQg
Plugin disabled
- [Improvement] Avoid permission issues in Kubernetes/Openshift for users who do not have the rights to edit their namespace.
- [Improvement] Better Kubernetes object creation.
In most cases, it makes very little sense to edit the namespace that an
application is running in. Quite often, users are granted access to just one
namespace and don't have the necessary rights to edit the namespace -- and for
good security reasons. In such cases, the k8s namespace object already exists
and there is no need for the user to edit or create it. Here, what we do is
that we create the namespace only if it does not exist. This should solve quite
a few permission issues, notably for Openshift users.
- 💥[Security] Disable python-evaluated input by default as we don't run codejail.
- [Bugfix] Fix missing discussion notifications.
- [Improvement] Better error logging when loading a plugin from an incompatible version.
As described in issue #284, tutor does not come with codejail enabled out of
the box. Actually, we don't even have a working plugin, yet. To prevent users
from running unsafe code, we explicitely disable python-evaluated input by
disabling the "python" interpreter. This might break some courses; thus, this
is a non-backward compatible change.
Discussion email notification relies on edx_ace and celery routing
key for ace is not set properly by default, which causes the send
mail task is never consumed.
Close #439.
When upgrading Tutor plugins to the next release, I often end up with a
virtualenv that contains plugins that depend on different versions of
tutor-openedx. This causes a crash that did not log the name of the responsible
package. For instance:

In this commit, we introduce an error log that displays the name and location
of the package. E.g:
Failed to load entrypoint 'minio = tutorminio.plugin' from distribution tutor-minio 12.0.0
- [Security] Apply Django security patches by upgrading from 2.2.20 to 2.2.23.
- [Bugfix] Fix video unit completion (see [pull
request](https://github.com/edx/edx-platform/pull/27230)).
- [Bugfix] Fix crashing installation because of a major release of all
Pallets projects.
- [Bugfix] Fix crash in `local quickstart -p` command.
- [Bugfix] Fix 502 error on request to lms with header larger than the
maximum uwsgi buffer size.
All pallets project requirement had a major upgrade today:
https://palletsprojects.com/blog/flask-2-0-released/
We are not yet compatible with click 8.0 and others. In particular,
click-repl imports modules which are no longer available. Until we can
upgrade, we add constraints to the requirements files.
The following error was being raised:

When running `tutor local quickstart -p` we were getting the following error:
Usage: custom [OPTIONS] ARGS...
Try 'custom --help' for help.
Error: Missing argument 'ARGS...'.
The docker-compose command sometimes accept a single command ("pull") with zero

According to [1], request to uwsgi with header

This commit fixes it by changing the maximum

During Docker images build process, apply custom edx-platform patches when tutor patch 'openedx-dockerfile-git-patches-default' is defined or apply current release patches in other case. It avoids possible conflicts between the actually used edx-platform version and the current release patches.
- [Improvement] Upgrade all services to open-release/koa.3.
- [Feature] Make it possible to build the openedx Docker image with a custom openedx-i18n version with the ``--build-arg OPENEDX_I18N_VERSION=custom`` command line argument.
We remove security patches and custom fixes which are now part of koa.3.
We take the opportunity to make it possible to build the openedx Docker image
without relying on a corresponding openedx-i18n repo tag: often, we want to
test whether the image simply builds successfully, and we don't need up-to-date
translations. For those cases, it's now possible to pass the `-a
OPENEDX_I18N_VERSION=oldertag` build argument.
When the PLUGINS config entry is None (`PLUGINS:`), the following error
was being triggered:
File "/.../tutor/tutor/plugins.py",
line 304, in is_enabled
return name in config.get(CONFIG_KEY, [])
TypeError: argument of type 'NoneType' is not iterable
- [Bugfix] Fix "Invalid Request" error during SAML authentication
(thanks @Ant1x!).
- [Feature] Add `images build --pull` option to update base images.
- [Improvement] Annotate types all over the Tutor code base.
- [Bugfix] Fix parsing of YAML CLI arguments that include equal "="
signs.
- [Bugfix] Fix minor edge case in `long_to_base64` utility function.
- [Improvement] Add openedx patches to add settings during build
process.
This option is mostly useless to us in CI, as it attempts (and fails) to
update the base image when building the dev image. For good reason: the
base image of the dev image is the latest openedx, which has not been
pushed to docker.io at the time of building -_-
Annotations were generated with pyannotate:
https://github.com/dropbox/pyannotate
We are running in strict mode, which is awesome!
This affects a large part of the code base, which might be an issue for
people running a fork of Tutor. Nonetheless, the behavior should not be
affected. If anything, this process has helped find and resolve a few
type-related bugs. Thus, this is not considered as a breaking change.
lms-worker was configured to run CMS tasks instead of LMS tasks. I'm not
sure what tasks were being dismissed, and what is the actual production
impact.
Redis data was not actually persisted, because the redis configuration file was
not mounted from the right location. In order to mount redis data in a
host-mounted directory, the working directory has to be properly set.
The problem was occurring both with docker-compose and Kubernetes.
Close #404.
When tutor is run as root, the `tutor config printroot` and `tutor
config printvalue` commands used to write to stdout, which was causing
issues when combined with `tutor config render` and `tutor local
settheme` commands.
See discussion:
https://discuss.overhang.io/t/error-while-install-indigo-theme/1056
First, allow using custom Django settings on a development
environment (as documented but not implemented), setting it to the
correct value of `tutor.development`. Prior to this, `tutor dev
runserver lms` would default to `tutor.production` when on a custom edX
branch.
Second, fix the documentation so the correct environment variable is
described, at the same time removing an option that doesn't seem to work.

We manage to get unit tests to run in a dedicated openedx-test container. Only
35 tests are failing (out of 17k). I suspect these tests are also failing in
the devstack.
`local exec` was failing with the following stacktrace:

- [Bugfix] Fix "Read-only file system" errors when running `tutor dev
runserver` commands on Mac OS. (again, see #392)
- [Feature] Automatically bind-mount volumes from the `volumes/` directory with
the `--volume=/...` syntax.
Looks like the `-perm /u=w` argument incorrectly includes files from the
read-only filesystem. This should be fixed by the `-writable` option.
Close #392
This introduces a new dev/local command:
tutor dev bindmount CONTAINER PATH
And a new volume syntax:
tutor dev run --volume=PATH CONTAINER
This syntax automatically bind-mounts folders from the tutorroot/volumes
directory, which is pretty nifty.
- 💥[Improvement] Upgrade Open edX to Koa
- 💥 Setting changes:
- The ``ACTIVATE_HTTPS`` setting was renamed to ``ENABLE_HTTPS``.
- Other ``ACTIVATE_*`` variables were all renamed to ``RUN_*``.
- The ``WEB_PROXY`` setting was removed and ``RUN_CADDY`` was added.
- The ``NGINX_HTTPS_PORT`` setting is deprecated.
- Architectural changes:
- Use Caddy as a web proxy for automated SSL/TLS certificate generation:
- Nginx no longer listens to port 443 for https traffic
- The Caddy configuration file comes with a new ``caddyfile`` patch for much simpler SSL/TLS management.
- Configuration files for web proxies are no longer provided.
- Kubernetes deployment no longer requires setting up a custom Ingress resource or custom manager.
- Gunicorn and Whitenoise are replaced by uwsgi: this increases boostrap performance and makes it no longer necessary to mount media folders in the Nginx container.
- Replace memcached and rabbitmq by redis.
- Additional features:
- Make it possible to disable all plugins at once with ``plugins disable all``.
- Add ``tutor k8s wait`` command to wait for a pod to become ready
- Faster, more reliable static assets with local memory caching
- Deprecation: proxy files for Apache and Nginx are no longer provided out of the box.
- Removed plugin `{{ patch (...) }}` statements:
- "https-create", "k8s-ingress-rules", "k8s-ingress-tls-hosts": these are no longer necessary. Instead, declare your app in the "caddyfile" patch.
- "local-docker-compose-nginx-volumes": this patch was primarily used to serve media assets. The recommended is now to serve assets with uwsgi.
As discussed in
https://discuss.overhang.io/t/lms-worker-timeout-issue/1057/8, the
timeout of the gunicorn worker is a bit low, causing the worker to
crashloop on slower systems. By increasing the timeout to 120 seconds,
the worker should have time to come up before it gets restarted.
- 💥[Improvement] Remove `dev/local pullimages`. Instead, run `dev/local
dc pull`.
- 💥[Improvement] Add `dev dc` and `local dc` commands as thin wrappers
of the `docker-compose` CLI.
- 💥[Improvement] Remove the undocumented `local run_hook` command.
Instead, run `local init --limit=...`.
- 💥[Improvement] Remove `tutor android pullimage` command. Instead, run
`tutor images pull android`.
- [Bugfix] Fix `config save` on Windows.
- [Bugfix] Fix platform checking in user ID function
- [Bugfix] Fix dependency error during `pip install tutor` due to urllib3 incompatibility
- [Bugfix] Fix user ID checking under Windows.
- [Bugfix] Fix template rendering for Windows users.
- [Improvement] Switch to `bcrypt` for htpasswd password generation, for better portability on Windows.
- [Improvement] In the openedx production docker image, add some jitter to the gunicorn worker restart process to prevent all workers from restarting at the same time.
requests depends on urllib3<1.26.0, while urllib3==1.26.0 was just
released. We need to introduce a constraint on urllib3 to avoid the
following error when running `pip install -e`:
pkg_resources.ContextualVersionConflict: (urllib3 1.26.0
(./venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages),
Requirement.parse('urllib3!=1.25.0,!=1.25.1,<1.26,>=1.21.1'),
{'requests'})
We will be able to remove this constraint once requests becomes
compatible with urllib3==1.26.0. To test this change just run `pip
install -e tutor` and then run a dummy command, such as `tutor local
stop`.
