- [Bugfix] Fix "LazyStaticAbsoluteUrl is not JSON serializable" error when sending bulk emails.
- [Bugfix] Fix `tutor local importdemocourse` fails when platform is not up.
In development, it was no longer possible to authenticate to the lms. Ater
signing in, the session ID could not be dropped, and thus the user was not
signed in, although no error was logged -- just a warning in the browser
console.
This problem was caused by the fact that the SameSite policy was set to "None"
in development.
Previously, we were redirecting all /*favicon.ico requests to the default
favicon. This meant that the favicon might not necessarily be correctly themed,
most notably in MFEs. Here, we resolve this issue by redirecting to the
theme-agnostic theming/asset/* url. Also, we restrict the overly generic regexp
for favicon url matching. We verified that we did not miss any url by running
the following command on the demo server:
tutor local logs caddy | grep --only-matching "host.*favicon.ico" | sort | uniq
The LazyStaticAbsoluteUrl object was breaking bulk emails again with the
following stacktrace:
2022-01-11 13:50:10,591 ERROR 12 [celery.app.trace] [user None] [ip None] trace.py:255 - Task lms.djangoapps.instructor_task.tasks.send_bulk_course_email[26b93357-018a-408f-b3f7-b69722447c5b] raised unexpected: EncodeError(TypeError('Object of type LazyStaticAbsoluteUrl is not JSON serializable'))

The point of that lazy object was to link to the lms logo even when a custom
theme was enabled. Luckily, we no longer need this lazy evaluation because we
now have theme-agnostic urls that point to static asset (see
https://github.com/openedx/edx-platform/pull/29461).

upgrading.
- [Bugfix] During upgrade, make sure that environment is up-to-date
prior to prompting to rebuild the custom images.
- [Bugfix] Fix ownership of mysql data, in particular when upgrading a
Kubernetes cluster to Maple.
- [Bugfix] Ensure that ``tutor k8s upgrade`` is run during ``tutor k8s
quickstart``, when necessary.
- 💥[Bugfix] By default, detect the current version during ``tutor
k8s/local upgrade``.
- [Bugfix] Fix upgrading from Lilac to Maple on Kubernetes by deleting
deployments and services.
`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.
In theory, we can assign ownership of mysql data to just any user. But in
Lilac, mysql was running with user 999. When upgrading to Maple, on Kubernetes,
the fsGroupChangePolicy was causing a change of the data *group* (to 1000) but
not of the user. This was causing a crash with the following error:
[ERROR] InnoDB: The error means mysqld does not have the access rights to the directory.
When upgrading from Lilac, all services break with the following error:
Service "***" is invalid: spec.ports[0].nodePort: Forbidden: may not be used when `type` is 'ClusterIP'
Upgrading deployments fails as well:
Deployment.apps "***" is invalid: spec.selector: Invalid value: v1.LabelSelector{MatchLabels:map[string]string{"app.kubernetes.io/instance":"openedx-********", "app.kubernetes.io/managed-by":"tutor", "app.kubernetes.io/name":"***", "app.kubernetes.io/part-of":"openedx"}, MatchExpressions:[]v1.LabelSelectorRequirement(nil)}: field is immutable
That's because deployments and services need to be deleted as part of the Maple
upgrade. So that's what we do as part of `tutor k8s upgrade --from=lilac`. And
we take the opportunity to:
1. Run upgrade as part of quickstart, when necessary.
2. Default to lilac during `tutor k8s upgrade`.
Close #551.
- [Security] Upgrade Django to 3.2.11 in edx-platform.
- [Security] Prevent non-staff users from searching usernames by email by
abusing the logout url.
Without this patch, it is possible to search for account info including
username by using the email of a learner. This fix disallows searching using
email by regular users and restricts this feature to only staff and superusers.
- A shared cookie domain between lms and cms is no longer recommended:
https://github.com/edx/edx-platform/blob/master/docs/guides/studio_oauth.rst
- refactor: clean mounted data folder in lms/cms. In Lilac, the
bind-mounted lms/data and cms/data folders are a mess because new
folders are created there for every new course organisation. These
folders are empty. As far as we know they are useless... With this
change we move these folders to a dedicated "modulestore" subdirectory;
which corresponds better to the initial intent of the fs_root setting.
- fix: frontend failure during login to the lms. See:
https://github.com/openedx/build-test-release-wg/issues/104
- feat: move all forum-related code to a dedicated plugin. Forum is an
optional feature, and as such it deserves its own plugin. Starting from
Maple, users will be able to install the forum from
https://github.com/overhangio/tutor-forum/
- migrate from DCS_* session cookie settings to SESSION_*. That's
because edx-platform no longer depends on django-cookies-samesite. Close
https://github.com/openedx/build-test-release-wg/issues/110
- get rid of tons of deprecation warnings in the lms/cms
- feat: make it possible to point to themed assets. Cherry-picking this
change makes it possible to point to themed assets with a theme-agnostic
url, notably from MFEs.
- Install all official plugins as part of the `tutor[full]` package.
- Don't print error messages about loading plugins during autocompletion.
- Prompt for image building when upgrading from one release to the next.
- Add `tutor local start --skip-build` option to skip building Docker images.
Close #450.
Close #545.
- 💥[Improvement] Fail on incorrect image name argument in `images
build/pull/push/printtag` commands.
- [Bugfix] Remove trailing slashes in docker-compose files for
[compatibility with docker-compose v2 in
WSL](https://github.com/docker/compose/issues/8558).
- [Improvement] `settheme` now works with preview domain.
- [Feature] Allow specifying extra pip packages through config.yml.
Added OPENEDX_EXTRA_PIP_REQUIREMENTS setting, which allows to specify
extra pip packages that should be installed.
Moved "openedx-scorm-xblock" package from Dockerfile to the new setting
in the config.yml.
When running "tutor k8s" we can disable the forum deployment and
service by setting RUN_FORUM to false, but the corresponding job is
added to jobs.yml unconditionally.
Add a conditional to tutor/templates/k8s/jobs.yml so that the forum
job definition is only included when RUN_FORUM is true.
Fixes #525.
In some cases, plugins declare an entry point but cannot be loaded.
This is the case when they depend on a version of tutor that is not the
one that is currently installed. This use case is very frequent when
working on multiple versions at the same time (i.e: right now, while we
are working on the Maple release). In such cases, it's best just to
ignore the plugin entirely rather than having to re-install all plugins
in the virtualenv.
- [Improvement] Upgrade all services to open-release/lilac.3.
- [Feature] Make it possible to override job configuration in
development: if they exist, `dev/docker-compose.jobs.yml` and
`dev/docker-compose.jobs.override.yml` will be loaded when running jobs.
- [Improvement] Faster `tutor local start` by building only necessary
images.
Previously, job declarations were always loaded from local/docker-compose.yml
and local/docker-compose.jobs.yml. This meant that it was not possible to
override job declarations in dev mode. It is now the case, with
dev/docker-compose.jobs.yml and dev/docker-compose.jobs.override.yml. Neither
of these files exist yet... But who knows? we might need this feature one day.
In any case the code is much cleaner now.
Previously, we were building all images every time we ran a "local start"
command. This was causing unnecessary rebuild. Here, instead, we make use of
the `docker-compose up --build`. This means that only the required images will
be rebuilt.
Limits the memory chek to the 'local quickstart' command, makes error
handling more accurate and adds warning messages for some conditions.
Also adds a mention of this in troubleshooting.rst.
Adds a check in the 'local' command group that requires at least
4 GB of RAM to be allocated to Docker when running any of the
local subcommands on macOS. This addresses a common issue where
Docker's default setting (2 GB) causes startup to crash with
misleading error messages.
- 💥[Improvement] Change the `settheme` command such that, by default, a custom theme is assigned to the LMS and the CMS, both in production and development mode.
