Previously, the tutor-openedx package was loading tons of template data from
the MANIFEST.in. Turns out, we cannot ignore the MANIFEST.in file with
setuptools. So we need to move tutor-openedx to a separate, dedicated folder.
To auto-discover the package version, we copy it at runtime (in the make
command).
An issue with the latest release of docker-compose was reported here:
https://discuss.overhang.io/t/undefined-entrypoint-throws-error-in-docker-compose-2-0-0-beta-4/1716
The mysql-job definition had an empty entrypoint (`[]`). This was causing the following error:
the initiation of mysql fails with “services.mysql-job.entrypoint must be a string …
Error: Command failed with status 15”
I can't remember at all why we had to define an empty entrypoint. It probably
has to do with the fact that we could not run `sh -e -c "..."` commands in
mysql jobs. Similarly, the k8s job definition sets `command: []`. I tested both
local and k8s deployments without these definitions and they work just fine. So
I guess we can get rid of them.
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.
Here we add to the docs a few shameless plugs about Cairn -- because
it's really awesome!
We also add a few improvements to the wording, here and there.
- [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.
We were forced to pin click to < v8 because of missing dependencies. In
particular, click_repl was broken. This is no longer the case, as click_repl
0.20 was published. Also, Jinja2 now includes type annotations, which allows us
to get rid of a few "# type: ignore" statements.
We take the opportunity to upgrade all requirements, which allows us resolve a
security issue on urllib3<1.26.0.
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:
Traceback (most recent call last):

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
Switching from Travis CI to Github Actions made us switch from Ubuntu 16.04 to
20.04. This causes errors for users running older versions of Ubuntu. I don't
think we can support Ubuntu 16.04 anymore, as it has gone out of support, but
we can at least attempt to support 18.04.
For reference, the reported error seems to be:
[17871] Error loading Python lib '/tmp/_MEIa1GHWz/libpython3.6m.so.1.0':

- [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)).
GitHub Actions now performs the following tasks:
- run tests on every PR
- sync with git.overhang.io on push
- build binary releases on tags
Travis.CI was completely removed from this repo.
- [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
argument.
See: https://discuss.overhang.io/t/local-quickstart-not-working-when-pullimages-enabled/1526
According to [1], request to uwsgi with header
larger than the default value 4096 will end up
with below error as #426:
invalid request block size: 4123 (max 4096)...skip
hr_instance_read(): Connection reset by peer
[plugins/http/http.c line 647]
This commit fixes it by changing the maximum
buffer size as 4096
Also: Similar issue was already identifed and
fixed in [2] on tutor-ecommerce

I stumbled upon a bug that should have been detected by the type
checking. Turns out, considering that config is of type Dict[str, Any]
means that we can use just any method on all config values -- which is
terrible. I discovered this after I set `config["PLUGINS"] = None`:
this triggered a crash when I enabled a plugin.
We resolve this by making the Config type more explicit. We also take
the opportunity to remove a few cast statements.
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.
