"tutor ui" was failing miserably, printing a lot of garbled characters
in the shell. In fact, a FileNotFound error was being raised and
automatically caught by the ui command. When removing the catch all,
this was the error that was raised:
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:
'/tmp/_MEIimsqmq/wcwidth/version.json' │
This is resolved on SO:

This was due to incorrectly loading the coursewarehistoryextended in the
installed applications. Also, the database router in charge of routing
requests to the student_history_module database must be disabled.
In CI, the webpack-stats.json file sometimes contains just:
{"status":"compiling"}
This was due to the fact that the `subprocess.call(...)` command in
openedx-assets did not check whether the command was killed -- for lack
of memory for instance. This is resolved by replacing "call(...)" by
"check_call(...)".
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

When running "python setup.py install" in CI, we were getting
"requests distribution was not found and is required by kubernetes"
errors. I can reproduce this issue locally. The error disappears after
the same command is run a second time.
