The pymongo dependency for edx-platform was updated (3.10.1 to 3.12.3)
in https://github.com/openedx/edx-platform/pull/30569
This caused the following error when running the edx-platform database
migration split_modulestore_django.0002_data_migration as part of
`tutor dev quickstart`:
pymongo.errors.ServerSelectionTimeoutError: client is configured to
connect to a replica set named '' but this node belongs to a set named
'None', Timeout: 30s, Topology Description: <TopologyDescription id:
62bdbaf182687350acf1aeec, topology_type: Single, servers:
[<ServerDescription ('mongodb', 27017) server_type: Unknown, rtt:
None, error=ConfigurationError("client is configured to connect to a
replica set named '' but this node belongs to a set named 'None'")>]>
This commit explicitly sets replicaSet to None to indicate that it's a
standalone MongoDB instance. I also had to remove the CONTENTSTORE entry
from auth.yml because edx-platform's devstack.py assumes it has a
non-null value (set in common.py), and devstack.py executes before
tutor's development.py can set this replicaSet value.
- [Feature] Add the `-m/--mount` option to `tutor dev quickstart`.
- [Bugfix] Fix `tutor dev start -m /path/to/frontend-app-learning` by introducing dev-specific `COMPOSE_DEV_TMP` and `COMPOSE_DEV_JOBS_TMP` filters (by @regisb).
- [Bugfix] Log the shell commands that Tutor executes more accurately. (by @kdmccormick)
- [Bugfix] `tutor dev quickstart` would fail under certain versions of docker-compose due to a bug in the logic that handled volume mounting. (by @kdmccormick)
- [Bugfix] The `tutor k8s start` command will succeed even when `k8s-override` and `kustomization-patches-strategic-merge` are not specified. (by @edazzocaisser)
- [BugFix] `kubectl wait` checks deployments instead of pods as it could hang indefinitely if there are extra pods in a broken state. (by @keithgg)
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.
When waiting for pods, it's possible that the deployment may be
complete but, because other pods may have been Evicted or Killed, the
wait wait condition completes.
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.

- [Bugfix] Build openedx-dev Docker image even when the host user is root, for instance on Windows. (by @regisb)

- [Improvement] Make it possible to override k8s resources in plugins using `k8s-override` patch. (by @foadlind)
Sometimes, the host user is root: this may happen when tutor is run with
"sudo" (which is not recommended) or on Windows. In such cases, building
the image should not fail, but default to a reasonable user. Also, when
we pass an invalid APP_USER_ID as a build arg, then we should fail with
an explicit message.
See this conversation:
https://discuss.overhang.io/t/problem-with-dev-image-build-useradd-uid-0-is-not-unique/2406
Currently there is no way for plugins to customize Kubernetes resources
defined in Tutor deployment manifests.
This change makes that possible by taking advantage of the strategic
merge patching mechanism in `kustomization.yml`.
Any resource definition in a `k8s-override` patch in a plugin will
override the resource defined by Tutor, provided that their names match.

- 💥[Fix] Get rid of the `tutor config render` command, which is useless now that themes can be implemented as plugins. (by @regisb)
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.

- [Fix] Fix updates for the Caddy deployment in multi-node Kubernetes clusters (#660). Previously, Caddy configuration updates might fail if the Kubernetes cluster had more than one worker node. (by @fghaas)
When running multiple concurrent versions of a plugin there are sometimes
version conflicts that prevent the plugin from being loaded. Prior to v1, Tutor
was correctly ignoring plugins that could not be loaded. During the transition
to v1 we lost that feature because we only captured TutorErrors.
When a Pod associated with a Deployment is updated (for example, due
to a change to its ConfigMap, or an updated image reference),
Kubernetes uses a ReplicaSet to spin up a Pod with the new
configuration, and once it is up, it tears down the old one.
In case of the Caddy Deployment, this is complicated by the fact that
it uses a Persistent Volume Claim (PVC), whose corresponding volume
uses a Read/Write-Once (RWO) configuration. This means that it can
only be used by multiple Pods if all those Pods all run on the same
Kubernetes worker node.
In order to enable rolling upgrades for the Caddy Deployment, we need
to ensure that its replacement Pod is scheduled on the same node as
the original Pod.
Thus, add a pod affinity rule that will force exactly that behavior.
Reference:
https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/scheduling-eviction/assign-pod-node/
The other Tutor services that use volumes (MySQL, Redis, Elasticsearch
and MongoDB) do not need this fix, since they all use the "Recreate"
deployment strategy: their Pods are all automatically torn down before
being replaced. This strategy is not needed for Caddy, and using a pod
affinity rule is less disruptive to the learner experience.
With this change, we want to better highlight the contributions of
developers to Tutor. We want to publicly acknowledge the positive impact
that individuals and companies have on the development of the platform.
to that end, each changelog entry can now be suffixed with the name of
the author (individual or company) who authored the change. These names
will find their way to the release notes for every release. Eventually,
we also want to spread these release notes more widely. For instance, we
could post new releases to the forum to notify the community of
important changes.
If you have contributed to Tutor in the past, feel free to open a PR and
append your name to the changes that you made. We will not be able to
update the release notes for every release out there, but your
contributions will be acknowledged from the changelog.
When mounting a directory in a dev-only container, such as the
"learning" mfe, docker-compose is failing because it is attempting to
run "docker-compose stop" in the local context -- which knows nothing
about the learning container.
To resolve this, we store tmp volumes either in the local or dev
docker-compose.yml, and load either one depending on the context.
- [Improvement] Add the `COMPOSE_PROJECT_STARTED` action and run `dev
stop` on `local start` (and vice versa).
- [Feature] Introduce `local/dev copyfrom` command to copy contents from
a container.
- [Bugfix] Fix a race condition that could prevent a newly provisioned
LMS container from starting due to a `FileExistsError` when creating
data folders.
- [Deprecation] Mark `tutor dev runserver` as deprecated in favor of
`tutor dev start`. Since `start` now supports bind-mounting and
breakpoint debugging, `runserver` is redundant and will be removed in a
future release.
- [Improvement] Allow breakpoint debugging when attached to a service
via `tutor dev start SERVICE`.
- [Security] Apply rate limiting security fix (see
[commit](b5723e416e)).
- [Feature] Introduce the ``-m/--mount`` option in ``local`` and ``dev``
commands to auto-magically bind-mount folders from the host.
- [Feature] Add `tutor dev quickstart` command, which is similar to
`tutor local quickstart`, except that it 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 (`tutor local
quickstart`) but then stop them and switch to dev containers (`tutor
local stop && tutor dev start -d`).
- 💥[Improvement] Make it possible to run `tutor k8s exec <command with
multiple arguments>` (#636). As a consequence, it is no longer
possible to run quoted commands: `tutor k8s exec "<some command>"`.
Instead, you should remove the quotes: `tutor k8s exec <some command>`.
- 💥[Deprecation] Drop support for the `TUTOR_EDX_PLATFORM_SETTINGS`
environment variable. It is now recommended to create a plugin
instead.
- 💥[Improvement] Complete overhaul of the plugin extension mechanism.
Tutor now has a hook-based Python API: actions can be triggered at
different points of the application life cycle and data can be modified
thanks to custom filters. The v0 plugin API is still supported, for
backward compatibility, but plugin developers are encouraged to migrate
their plugins to the new API. See the new plugin tutorial for more
information.
- [Improvement] Improved the output of `tutor plugins list`.
- [Feature] Add `tutor [dev|local|k8s] status` command, which provides
basic information about the platform's status.
Running `local start` while a dev platform is still running is a common sourse
of mistakes. Here we introduce a new action to automatically stop local and dev
projects whenever a project with a different name is started.
`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.
