These changes make to possible to run:
tutor mounts add /path/to/my-xblock
The xblock directory with then be auto-magically bind-mounted in the
"openedx" image at build time, and the lms*/cms* containers at run time.
This makes it effectively possible to work as a developer on
edx-platform requirements.
We take the opportunity to move some openedx-specific code to a
dedicated module.

Templated hooks we almost completely useless, so we get rid of them.
This allows us to get rid entirely of hook names and hook indexes, which
makes the whole implementation much simpler. Hook removal (with
`clear_all`) is achieved thanks to weak references.
It was useless to create a *-permissions job for every application.
Instead, we create a single "permissions" service. It can be extended
via the "docker-compose-permissions-command" patch.
Among other changes: ORA2 file uploads were stored in a folder named
"SET-ME-PLEASE (ex. bucket-name)" (sigh). With this change, the folder
should be automatically renamed to "openedxuploads". This issue has been
occuring since June 2019... (sigh²)
Close #707
We implement this TEP: https://discuss.openedx.org/t/tutor-enhancement-proposal-tep-plugin-indices/8182
With plugin indexes, tutor users can install and upgrade plugins directly from indexes:
tutor plugins install ecommerce
tutor plugins index add contrib
tutor plugins install codejail
tutor plugins upgrade all
This change has been long in the coming \o/
The hooks API had several issues which are summarized in this comment:
https://github.com/openedx/wg-developer-experience/issues/125#issuecomment-1313553526
1. "consts" was a bad name
2. "hooks.filters" and "hooks.Filters" could easily be confused
3. docs made it difficult to understand that plugin developers should use the catalog
To address these issues, we:
1. move "consts.py" to "catalog.py"
2. Remove "hooks.actions", "hooks.filters", "hooks.contexts" from the API.
3. re-organize the docs and give better usage examples in the catalog.
This change is a partial fix for https://github.com/openedx/wg-developer-experience/issues/125
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).
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.

- 💥 [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.
