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.
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.
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.

`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.
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...

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.
