We fix this error by requiring a more recent version of typing-extensions.
See: https://discuss.openedx.org/t/tutor-v15-python-error-when-running-on-quickstart/8910/2
The following syntax is only supported in jinja2>=2.10:
{% set jwt_rsa_key | rsa_import_key %}{{ JWT_RSA_PRIVATE_KEY }}{% endset %}
Thus, we bump the minimal working version of jinja2 in the base requirements.
See discussion: https://discuss.openedx.org/t/error-while-tutor-local-quickstart/8796
Changelog management was starting to be a hassle:
- there were conflicts every time a PR was merged
- there were conflicts every time we merged the nightly branch in the new
release branch, or vice versa.
Now, all changelog entries are stored as separate files in changelog.d,
including nightly. Nightly entries will be collected for every major release.
Now that the mypy bugs have been resolved, we are able to define more precisely
and cleanly the types of Actions and Filters.
Moreover, can now strongly type named actions and hooks (in consts.py). With
such a strong typing, we get early alerts of hooks called with incorrect
arguments, which is nothing short of awesome :)
This change breaks the hooks API by removing the `context=...` argument. The
reason for that is that we cannot insert arbitrary arguments between `P.args,
P.kwargs`: https://peps.python.org/pep-0612/#the-components-of-a-paramspec
> A function declared as def inner(a: A, b: B, *args: P.args, **kwargs:
> P.kwargs) -> R has type Callable[Concatenate[A, B, P], R]. Placing
> keyword-only parameters between the *args and **kwargs is forbidden.
Getting the documentation to build in nitpicky mode is quite difficult... We
need to add `nitpick_ignore` to the docs conf.py, otherwise sphinx complains
about many missing class references. This, despite upgrading almost all doc
requirements (except docutils).
- 💥 [Feature] Upgrade to Nutmeg: (by @regisb)
- 💥 [Feature] Persistent grades are now enabled by default.
- [Bugfix] Remove edX references from bulk emails ([issue](https://github.com/openedx/build-test-release-wg/issues/100)).
- [Improvement] For Tutor Nightly (and only Nightly), official plugins are now installed from their nightly branches on GitHub instead of a version range on PyPI. This will allow Nightly users to install all official plugins by running ``pip install -e ".[full]"``.
- [Bugfix] Start MongoDB when running migrations, because a new data migration fails if MongoDB is not running
This is a very large refactoring which aims at making Tutor both more
extendable and more generic. Historically, the Tutor plugin system was
designed as an ad-hoc solution to allow developers to modify their own
Open edX platforms without having to fork Tutor. The plugin API was
simple, but limited, because of its ad-hoc nature. As a consequence,
there were many things that plugin developers could not do, such as
extending different parts of the CLI or adding custom template filters.
Here, we refactor the whole codebase to make use of a generic plugin
system. This system was inspired by the Wordpress plugin API and the
Open edX "hooks and filters" API. The various components are added to a
small core thanks to a set of actions and filters. Actions are callback
functions that can be triggered at different points of the application
lifecycle. Filters are functions that modify some data. Both actions and
filters are collectively named as "hooks". Hooks can optionally be
created within a certain context, which makes it easier to keep track of
which application created which callback.
This new hooks system allows us to provide a Python API that developers
can use to extend their applications. The API reference is added to the
documentation, along with a new plugin development tutorial.
The plugin v0 API remains supported for backward compatibility of
existing plugins.
Done:
- Do not load commands from plugins which are not enabled.
- Load enabled plugins once on start.
- Implement contexts for actions and filters, which allow us to keep track of
the source of every hook.
- Migrate patches
- Migrate commands
- Migrate plugin detection
- Migrate templates_root
- Migrate config
- Migrate template environment globals and filters
- Migrate hooks to tasks
- Generate hook documentation
- Generate patch reference documentation
- Add the concept of action priority
Close #499.
For Tutor Nightly (and only Nightly), official plugins are now installed
from their nightly branches on GitHub instead of a version range on
PyPI. This will allow Nightly users to install all official plugins by
running:
pip install -e ".[full]"
Notes:
* We use the syntax `EGG @ git+REPO@nightly` because the
more common syntax of `git+REPO@nightly#egg=EGG` does not work
when supplied to setup.py's extras_require.
* Unlike other plugins, tutor-license is still installed from PyPI,
but without any version constraint. This is because tutor-license
is a simple, closed-source plugin which activates Wizard edition
for subscribers. It should be available in Nightly but doesn't
need to be installed from its own bleeding-edge branch.
* Unlike most nightly commits, this commit should NOT ever be
reflected on master. When it comes time to merge nightly into
master during the release of Nutmeg, this commit will need to
be manually reverted from master.
* Documentation updates have been made separately so that they
can be merged into master.
- 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.

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.
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:

We are running in strict mode, which is awesome!
This affects a large part of the code base, which might be an issue for
people running a fork of Tutor. Nonetheless, the behavior should not be
affected. If anything, this process has helped find and resolve a few
type-related bugs. Thus, this is not considered as a breaking change.
- 💥[Improvement] Upgrade Open edX to Koa
- 💥 Setting changes:
- The ``ACTIVATE_HTTPS`` setting was renamed to ``ENABLE_HTTPS``.
- Other ``ACTIVATE_*`` variables were all renamed to ``RUN_*``.
- The ``WEB_PROXY`` setting was removed and ``RUN_CADDY`` was added.
- The ``NGINX_HTTPS_PORT`` setting is deprecated.
- Architectural changes:
- Use Caddy as a web proxy for automated SSL/TLS certificate generation:
- Nginx no longer listens to port 443 for https traffic
- The Caddy configuration file comes with a new ``caddyfile`` patch for much simpler SSL/TLS management.
- Configuration files for web proxies are no longer provided.
- Kubernetes deployment no longer requires setting up a custom Ingress resource or custom manager.
- Gunicorn and Whitenoise are replaced by uwsgi: this increases boostrap performance and makes it no longer necessary to mount media folders in the Nginx container.
- Replace memcached and rabbitmq by redis.
- Additional features:
- Make it possible to disable all plugins at once with ``plugins disable all``.
- Add ``tutor k8s wait`` command to wait for a pod to become ready
- Faster, more reliable static assets with local memory caching
- Deprecation: proxy files for Apache and Nginx are no longer provided out of the box.
- Removed plugin `{{ patch (...) }}` statements:
- "https-create", "k8s-ingress-rules", "k8s-ingress-tls-hosts": these are no longer necessary. Instead, declare your app in the "caddyfile" patch.
- "local-docker-compose-nginx-volumes": this patch was primarily used to serve media assets. The recommended is now to serve assets with uwsgi.
requests depends on urllib3<1.26.0, while urllib3==1.26.0 was just
released. We need to introduce a constraint on urllib3 to avoid the
following error when running `pip install -e`:
pkg_resources.ContextualVersionConflict: (urllib3 1.26.0
(./venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages),
Requirement.parse('urllib3!=1.25.0,!=1.25.1,<1.26,>=1.21.1'),
{'requests'})
We will be able to remove this constraint once requests becomes
compatible with urllib3==1.26.0. To test this change just run `pip
install -e tutor` and then run a dummy command, such as `tutor local
stop`.
Here, we upgrade the Open edX platform from Ironwood to Juniper. This
upgrade does not come with many feature changes, but there are many
technical improvements under the hood:
- Upgrade from Python 2.7 to 3.5
- Upgrade from Mongodb v3.2 to v3.6
- Upgrade Ruby to 2.5.7
We took the opportunity to completely rething the way locally running
platforms should be accessed for testing purposes. It is no longer
possible to access a running platform from http://localhost and
http://studio.localhost. Instead, users should access
http://local.overhang.io and https://studio.local.overhang.io. This
drastically simplifies internal communication between Docker containers.
To upgrade, users should simply run:
tutor local quickstart
For Kubernetes platform, the upgrade process is outlined when running:
tutor k8s upgrade --from=ironwood
Running jobs was previously done with "exec". This was because it
allowed us to avoid copying too much container specification information
from the docker-compose/deployments files to the jobs files. However,
this was limiting:
- In order to run a job, the corresponding container had to be running.
This was particularly painful in Kubernetes, where containers are
crashing as long as migrations are not correctly run.
- Containers in which we need to run jobs needed to be present in the
docker-compose/deployments files. This is unnecessary, for example when
mysql is disabled, or in the case of the certbot container.
Now, we create dedicated jobs files, both for local and k8s deployment.
This introduces a little redundancy, but not too much. Note that
dependent containers are not listed in the docker-compose.jobs.yml file,
so an actual platform is still supposed to be running when we launch the
jobs.
This also introduces a subtle change: now, jobs go through the container
entrypoint prior to running. This is probably a good thing, as it will
avoid forgetting about incorrect environment variables.
In k8s, we find ourselves interacting way too much with the kubectl
utility. Parsing output from the CLI is a pain. So we need to switch to
the native kubernetes client library.
