- [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.
Previously, the list of domain names to which a theme was assigned had to be
specified manually. Now, the themes are automatically assigned to the LMS and
the CMS, both in development and production modes.

TypeError: Object of type LazyStaticAbsoluteUrl is not JSON serializable
The reason for that was that edx-ace could not json-serialize the context to be
passed to the registration email renderer. That was caused by the
LazyStaticAbsoluteUrl object created to address missing logo in registration
email. To make sure that this object is serializable by
edx_ace.serialization.MessageEncoder, we add a trivial .to_json() method to the
LazyStaticAbsoluteUrl class.
This error could (at first) not be reproduced in development, because
AUTOMATIC_AUTH_FOR_TESTING is set to true in devstack settings.
When upgrading mongodb, the mongodb container takes a little while to become
ready. Running the "exec" command thus triggers an error:
docker-compose -f /path/to/env/local/docker-compose.yml -f /path/to/env/local/docker-compose.prod.yml --project-name tutor_local exec mongodb mongo --eval db.adminCommand({ setF
eatureCompatibilityVersion: "4.0" })

We add a "sleep" statement to the upgrade process to ensure that the mongodb
container is available.
Turns out, the authentication mechanism should only be defined if there
is an actual authentication. For now, because of the urgency, we
hardcode this auth_mech to ":scram". We'll add a way to override it if
necessary, in the future.
- [Improvement] Make it easier to run edx-platform unit tests.
- [Bugfix] Fix segmentation fault during `tutor config save` on Mac OS M1 (#473). Thanks @ghassanmas!
- [Bugfix] Fix a bug that prevented connecting to external MongoDB instances.
- [Improvement] Make sure that the logo included in email notifications (including discussion responses) is the same as the site logo.
- [Bugfix] Install IPython directly from pypi instead of installing it from source (the reason it was installed from source is no longer relevant). The effect of this shall speed up the process of building the openedx-dev Docker image.
- [Feature] Add "openedx-dockerfile-post-git-checkout" patch.
- [Improvement] In the "openedx" Docker images, convert git patches to cherry-picks for a cleaner source tree.
- 💥[Feature] Make it possible to override local job configuration. This deprecates the older model for running jobs which dates back from a long time ago.
It should be unnecessary to build a custom openedx-dev Docker image. All tests
can run from within the dev Docker image, with a couple additional environment
variables.
Previously, the logo included in emails was loaded from edX' CDN. Here, we make
sure that the logo is actually the same as the site logo. Because the logo may
be theme-specific, we need to compute the logo url at runtime, and use a
lazily-evaluated string.
Close #447.
Change the source of installation Ipyton, install it from PyPy instead of source, which shall speed up the process of building the docker image for openedx-dev
With "git patch", the resulting source tree was dirty, showing uncommitted
changes. Here, we replace "git patch" with "git cherry-pick". We avoid pulling
the entire remote repo by fetching individual commits. To do that, we need to
assign an identity to the git user.
- [Improvement] Upgrade all services to open-release/lilac.2.
- [Bugfix] Fix "`sh` is not a recognized command" in some plugins, including minio.
- [Improvement] Set the default contact mailing email address
- [Bugfix] Fix minio initialisation in Kubernetes.
- [Bugfix] Fix "Invalid command argument" during upgrade from Koa to Lilac.
- [Bugfix] Fix mysql initialisation in docker-compose==2.0.0beta4.
- [Improvement] Tutor is now published on pypi as "tutor".
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.
- [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.
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.
