Cautions

• Currently, celery can only support a single work queue. Routing tasks to separate queues is disabled in Koa because of difficulties with celery upgraded to 4.x.

Impact on Code

• Django app Plugins

  • The plugins infrastructure was moved from edx/edx-platform into edx/edx-django-utils

    • see decision for more info Jinder Singh (Deactivated) Robert Raposa

  • Warning: As of 10/23, we are unsure of whether this change will remain or be reverted. https://openedx.atlassian.net/browse/ARCHBOM-1577

  • This change mostly affects the location of imports other than the LMS/CMS constants (moved from openedx/core/djangoapps/plugins or openedx/core/lib/plugins to edx_django_utils/plugins).

• LinkedIn Add to Profile Configuration (and Site Configurations)

  • The LinkedIn Add to Profile API for certificates was updated and as a result, we were able to make some updates to our logic surrounding this functionality. The change that requires updating on your part is updating your LinkedinAddToProfileConfiguration company_identifierfield (if you have that configuration defined). If you instead use Site Configurations to manage yourSOCIAL_SHARING_SETTINGS, then you will want to update the LINKEDIN_COMPANY_ID.

    • The value will be going from a value that looks like 0_0dPSPyS070e0HsE9HNz_13_d11_ to an integer, such as 1337.

  • This change will allow for the Add to Profile for certificates to autofill the form and if your Company Identifier is defined, it will link to your LinkedIn page.

• Credentials uses boto3

  • Credentials is now using boto3, and boto has been removed from its requirements. Please follow the instructions to migrate your settings from boto to boto3. crice (Deactivated)

  • Credentials removed its custom s3 media storage settings in favor of the standard ones. See this commit for more details.

• Changes to canonical import paths in edx-platform

  • Code in edx-platform/[lms|cms|common]/djangoapps should now be imported by its full path, relative to the root of edx-platform. For example:

    Code Block
    from student import api

    should now be:

    Code Block
    from common.djangoapps.student import api

  • There will be partial and temporary support for the abbreviated paths in Koa, but we encourage updating the the full paths sooner than later.

  • See the forum post or the ADR for details. Contact Kyle McCormick with questions.
