- 💥[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.
Before, custom `docker_compose_func` arguments had to be passed to job runners.
This was not very elegant. Also, it prevented us from loading custom job files
in development.
Here, we adopt a better object-oriented approach, where context classes are
ordered hierarchically.
This paves the way for loading `dev/docker-compose.jobs.yml` files in `tutor
dev init` commands -- which will be necessary to fix permissions in dev/local
mode.
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.
In conversations with edX, we learned that the name "edge" had negative
undertones for historical reasons. Thus, we switch to "nightly", which means
pretty much the same thing.
Here, we make it possible to automatically append a suffix to the version and app
name (in the sense of appdirs). This guarantees that a tutor edge project will
not accidentally override another community release.
In addition, we take the opportunity to document the tutor versioning format.
(I've been meaning to do that for a long time)
It is unnecessary to point to CI, or to indicate the doc version. Instead, we
link directly to the source code. Also, we improve the icon colors and general
appearance.
This ensures that any warning generated from compiling the docs is treated as
an error. Also, building the docs is now one of the steps performed in CI.
<rant>I attempted to actually run Tutor with Podman and I was sorely disappointed.
The only reliable source of docs that I found concerning the integration with
docker-compose is this blog post:
https://www.redhat.com/sysadmin/podman-docker-compose
There are no other official docs 😓
1. The instructions given in the blog post don't work out of the box. Launching
the podman service failed altogether on Ubuntu 20.04 and 20.10. It worked on
CentOS 8, but some parameters need to changed, such as the docker socket path.
2. After I got the podman service working, I managed to get an Open edX
platform running with tutor, but with the root user. Then, containers
complained that they could not write data to the bind-mounted volumes. I
attempted to run as a non-root user, and discovered that the podman socket is
only readable by root. This should explain why all commands from that blog post
are prefixed by sudo.
Long story short, I was hoping to update the tutorial. Instead, I'm just moving
it for the sake of better organisation. For the life of me, I do not understand
why some people would want to run Podman instead of Docker. Bad documentation
is an immediate turn-off for me. From my perspective, podman is mostly an
overblown marketina stunt.</rant>
There is too much information in each of the local/k8s/dev docs pages. The
"guides" that are listed in each one of those pages are moved either to "common
tasks" or to a dedicated "tutorials" section. This paves the way for more
comprehensive tutorials, where we describe how to run the latest master
branches of Open edX.
I am well aware that, as they stand, the tutorials are of poor quality and
should be rewritten. This is a task for another day/commit. For now, we only
move the contents to a separate part of the docs.
Also, we should add a "reference" section to the docs, where we add the result
of `tutor <subcommand> --help`.
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
