This fix is for a rather serious issue that affects users who upgrade
from Olive to Palm. The client mysql charset and collation was
incorrectly set to utf8mb4, while the server stil runs utf8mb3. Only
users who run the mysql container are affected.
To resolve this issue, we explicitely configure the client to use the
utf8mb3 charset/collation.
Important note: users who have somehow managed to upgrade from olive to
Palm before may find themselves in an undefined state. They might have
to fix their mysql data manually. Same thing for users who launched Palm
from scratch; although, according to my preliinary tests, they should be
able to downgrade their connection from utf8mb4 to utf8mb3 without
issue.
In addition, we upgrade to mysql 8.1.0. Among many other fixes, this
avoids a server restart after the upgrade:
> An in-place upgrade from MySQL 5.7 to MySQL 8.0, without a server
> restart, could result in unexpected errors when executing queries on
> tables. This fix eliminates the need to restart the server between the
> upgrade and queries. (Bug #35410528)

Close #887.
Manual configuration via the `MOUNTS` setting was inconvenient. We
(re)introduce a new(ish) `tutor mounts` command. Old timers will perhaps
remember that we used to have a `tutor bindmount` command. Well, it's
back! But better and different.
Templated hooks we almost completely useless, so we get rid of them.
This allows us to get rid entirely of hook names and hook indexes, which
makes the whole implementation much simpler. Hook removal (with
`clear_all`) is achieved thanks to weak references.
This is an important change, where we get remove the previous `--mount`
option, and instead opt for persistent bind-mounts.
Persistent bind mounts have several advantages:
- They make it easier to remember which folders need to be bind-mounted.
- Code is *much* less clunky, as we no longer need to generate temporary
docker-compose files.
- They allow us to bind-mount host directories *at build time* using the
buildx `--build-context` option.
- The transition from development to production becomes much easier, as
images will automatically be built using the host repo.
The only drawback is that persistent bind-mounts are slightly less
portable: when a config.yml file is moved to a different folder, many
things will break if the repo is not checked out in the same path.
For instance, this is how to start working on a local fork of
edx-platform:
tutor config save --append MOUNTS=/path/to/edx-platform
And that's all there is to it. No, this fork will be used whenever we
run:
tutor images build openedx
tutor local start
tutor dev start
This change is made possible by huge improvements in the build time
performance. These improvements make it convenient to re-build Docker
images often.

"SET-ME-PLEASE (ex. bucket-name)" (sigh). With this change, the folder
should be automatically renamed to "openedxuploads". This issue has been

We implement this TEP: https://discuss.openedx.org/t/tutor-enhancement-proposal-tep-plugin-indices/8182
With plugin indexes, tutor users can install and upgrade plugins directly from indexes:
tutor plugins install ecommerce
tutor plugins index add contrib
tutor plugins install codejail
tutor plugins upgrade all

The hooks API had several issues which are summarized in this comment:
https://github.com/openedx/wg-developer-experience/issues/125#issuecomment-1313553526
1. "consts" was a bad name
2. "hooks.filters" and "hooks.Filters" could easily be confused
3. docs made it difficult to understand that plugin developers should use the catalog
To address these issues, we:
1. move "consts.py" to "catalog.py"
2. Remove "hooks.actions", "hooks.filters", "hooks.contexts" from the API.
3. re-organize the docs and give better usage examples in the catalog.
This change is a partial fix for https://github.com/openedx/wg-developer-experience/issues/125
Adds `from __future__ import annotations` to the top of every module,
right below the module's docstring. Replaces any usages of t.List,
t.Dict, t.Set, t.Tuple, and t.Type with their built-in equivalents:
list, dict, set, tuple, and type. Ensures that make test still passes
under Python 3.7, 3.8 and 3.9.
GitHub Actions sometimes runs `make tests` as root; e.g: in the release script.
There were unit tests that were breaking in that scenario. I have no idea why
tests were not breaking in the test.yml workflow.
Now that the mypy bugs have been resolved, we are able to define more precisely
and cleanly the types of Actions and Filters.
Moreover, can now strongly type named actions and hooks (in consts.py). With
such a strong typing, we get early alerts of hooks called with incorrect
arguments, which is nothing short of awesome :)
This change breaks the hooks API by removing the `context=...` argument. The
reason for that is that we cannot insert arbitrary arguments between `P.args,
P.kwargs`: https://peps.python.org/pep-0612/#the-components-of-a-paramspec
> A function declared as def inner(a: A, b: B, *args: P.args, **kwargs:
> P.kwargs) -> R has type Callable[Concatenate[A, B, P], R]. Placing
> keyword-only parameters between the *args and **kwargs is forbidden.
Getting the documentation to build in nitpicky mode is quite difficult... We
need to add `nitpick_ignore` to the docs conf.py, otherwise sphinx complains
about many missing class references. This, despite upgrading almost all doc
requirements (except docutils).
We introduce a new filter to implement custom commands in arbitrary containers.
It becomes easy to write convenient ad-hoc commands that users will
then be able to run either on Kubernetes or locally using a documented CLI.
Pluggable jobs are declared as Click commands and are responsible for
parsing their own arguments. See the new CLI_DO_COMMANDS filter.

`quickstart` is being renamed to `launch` and deprecated in favor of
using `launch`. The `quickstart` function temporarily aliases to
`launch`. Further mentions of `quickstart` have been changed to
reference `launch` instead.
We are indicating that this change is breaking 💥 to encourage people to
migrate their scripts right away!
The -m/--mount option makes it possible to bind-mount volumes at runtime. The
volumes are declared in a local/docker-compose.tmp.yml file. The problem with
this approach is when we want to bind-mount a volume to a service which is
specific to the dev context. For instance: the "learning" service when the MFE
plugin is enabled.
In such a case, starting the service triggers a call to `docker-compose stop`
in the local context. This call fails because the "learning" service does not
exist in the local context. Note that this issue only seems to occur with
docker-compose v1.
To resolve this issue, we create two additional filters for
the dev context, which emulate the behaviour of the local context. With this approach, we convert the -m/--mount arguments right after they are parsed. Because they are parsed just once, we can get rid of the de-duplication logic initially introduced with the COMPOSE_CLI_MOUNTS context.
Close #711. Close also https://github.com/overhangio/tutor-mfe/issues/57.
Whenever Tutor executes a shell command, it logs out said
command in order to aid in end user understanding/debugging.
In some cases (notably, when running jobs in containers)
the logged command was not accurately quoted. The command
was run correctly, because it was passed in pieces to
``subprocess.Popen``, which correctly joins the pieces together
into a valid POSIX shell command; however, the logged version
of the command was constructed by simply joining the pieces
with spaces. This usually works, but breaks down when running
complex shell commands with nested quoting.
This commit changes the logging to use ``shlex.join``, which
joins command pieces together in a POSIX-compliant way,
presumably the same way as ``subprocess.Popen``.
Example:
tutor local importdemocourse
runs the shell command:
docker-compose -f /home/kyle/.local/share/tutor/env/local/docker-compose.yml -f /home/kyle/.local/share/tutor/env/local/docker-compose.prod.yml -f /home/kyle/.local/share/tutor/env/local/docker-compose.tmp.yml --project-name tutor_local -f /home/kyle/.local/share/tutor/env/local/docker-compose.jobs.yml -f /home/kyle/.local/share/tutor/env/local/docker-compose.jobs.tmp.yml run --rm cms-job sh -e -c 'echo "Loading settings $DJANGO_SE... (several more script lines) ...eindex_course --all --setup'
but the logged shell command was:
docker-compose -f /home/kyle/.local/share/tutor/env/local/docker-compose.yml -f /home/kyle/.local/share/tutor/env/local/docker-compose.prod.yml -f /home/kyle/.local/share/tutor/env/local/docker-compose.tmp.yml --project-name tutor_local -f /home/kyle/.local/share/tutor/env/local/docker-compose.jobs.yml -f /home/kyle/.local/share/tutor/env/local/docker-compose.jobs.tmp.yml run --rm cms-job sh -e -c echo "Loading settings $DJANGO_SE... (several more script lines) ...eindex_course --all --setup
which will not run if copied and pasted back into the
user's terminal, as the importdemocourse shell script is unquoted.
In certain code paths, such as in `tutor local quickstart`,
`process_mount_points` is called more than once in the same process,
causing mounts to be added to `COMPOSE_LOCAL[_JOBS]_TMP` redundantly.
As a result, docker-compose[.jobs].tmp.yml was occasionally being
rendered with duplicate volume specifiers. Some versions of Docker
Compose ignored this; other versions warned or threw an error.
In order to make `process_mount_points` tolerant to being called
multiple times, we wrap its volume-adding callbacks within a new
hooks context. This allows us to clear said hooks context every
time `process_mount_points` is called, essentially making the
function idempotent.

When rendering theme files in a plugin, the *.scss files are stored in a
"partials" subdirectory, which was ignored by the environment rendering logic.
To render these files, we move the path ignoring logic to a filter, which is a
list of regular expressions. Values in this filter can be overridden by another
filter.
See the corresponding issue in the indigo theme plugin:
https://github.com/overhangio/tutor-indigo/issues/24
`copyfrom` copies data from a container to the local filesystem. It's similar
to bindmount, but less clunky, and more intuitive. Also, it plays along great
with `--mount`. Eventually we'll just get rid of the `bindmount` command and
the `--volume` option.
When a v1 plugin was installed, several things were happening regarding tests:
1. v1 plugin loading was happening despite the TUTOR_IGNORE_ENTRYPOINT_PLUGINS
environment variable.
2. the CORE_READY event was not triggered because it was happening just once at
import time.
This was causing some tests to incorrectly load the MFE plugin.
The `--mount` option is available both with `tutor local`
and `tutor dev` commands. It allows users to easily bind-mount containers from
the host to containers. Yes, I know, we already provide that possibility with
the `bindmount` command and the `--volume=/path/` option. But these suffer from
the following drawbacks:
- They are difficult to understand.
- The "bindmount" command name does not make much sense.
- It's not convenient to mount an arbitrary folder from the host to multiple
containers, such as the many lms/cms containers (web apps, celery workers and
job runners).
To address this situation, we now recommend to make use of --mount:
1. `--mount=service1[,service2,...]:/host/path:/container/path`: manually mount
`/host/path` to `/container/path` in container "service1" (and "service2").
2. `--mount=/host/path`: use the new v1 plugin API to discover plugins that
will detect this option and select the right containers in which to bind-mount
volumes. This is really nifty...

Add `tutor dev quickstart` command, which is equivalent to
`tutor local quickstart`, but uses dev containers instead
of local production ones and includes some other small
differences for the convience of Open edX developers.
This should remove some friction
from the Open edX development setup process, which previously
required that users provision using local producation
containers but then stop them and switch to dev containers:
* tutor local quickstart
* tutor local stop
* tutor dev start -d

The entrypoint in the "openedx" Docker image was used only to define the
DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE environment variable, based on SERVICE_VARIANT and
SETTINGS. We ditch SETTINGS in favour of defining explicitely
DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE.
The problem with the Docker entrypoint is that it was bypassed whenever we ran
`tutor local exec` or `tutor k8s exec`. By removing it we make it simpler for
end-users to run manage.py commands in kubernetes.
This is a very large refactoring which aims at making Tutor both more
extendable and more generic. Historically, the Tutor plugin system was
designed as an ad-hoc solution to allow developers to modify their own
Open edX platforms without having to fork Tutor. The plugin API was
simple, but limited, because of its ad-hoc nature. As a consequence,
there were many things that plugin developers could not do, such as
extending different parts of the CLI or adding custom template filters.
Here, we refactor the whole codebase to make use of a generic plugin
system. This system was inspired by the Wordpress plugin API and the
Open edX "hooks and filters" API. The various components are added to a
small core thanks to a set of actions and filters. Actions are callback
functions that can be triggered at different points of the application
lifecycle. Filters are functions that modify some data. Both actions and
filters are collectively named as "hooks". Hooks can optionally be
created within a certain context, which makes it easier to keep track of
which application created which callback.
This new hooks system allows us to provide a Python API that developers
can use to extend their applications. The API reference is added to the
documentation, along with a new plugin development tutorial.
The plugin v0 API remains supported for backward compatibility of
existing plugins.
Done:
- Do not load commands from plugins which are not enabled.
- Load enabled plugins once on start.
- Implement contexts for actions and filters, which allow us to keep track of
the source of every hook.
- Migrate patches
- Migrate commands
- Migrate plugin detection
- Migrate templates_root
- Migrate config
- Migrate template environment globals and filters
- Migrate hooks to tasks
- Generate hook documentation
- Generate patch reference documentation
- Add the concept of action priority
Close #499.
`upgrade` had several issues, which are summarized here:
https://discuss.overhang.io/t/confusing-instructions-during-upgrade/2281/7
- The docs say that you should run quickstart, but what most people will see is
the big command tutor local upgrade --from=lilac verbatim paragraph.
- The local upgrade command should be very explicit about the fact that users
need to run quickstart.
- Maybe the name of the local upgrade command should be improved.
- When upgrading tutor from one major release to the next, there should be a
more explicit warning to inform users of what they are doing (see this other
conversation 1)
- We should tell people that they almost certainly need to enable the tutor and
the mfe plugins, if they are not enabled during upgrade.
- A link to all of the breaking changes from the changelog should be
prominently displayed during upgrade.
- The docs should emphasize that upgrading from one major release to the next
is potentially a risky endeavor and that downgrading is not possible. The docs
should also link to the changelog.
This commit has grown slightly beyond the intended scope, but the changes should be mostly positive.
