Python 3.11

• PR has merged to enable Python 3.11 - feanil/test on 3.11 by feanil · Pull Request #34374 · openedx/edx-platform

Unit test matrix

Kyle

• Running tests for Python 3.8 and 3.11 and Mongo 4.4 and 7

  • 107 total test to run right now

    • 64 of which are Unit Test shards

• Proposal

  • Run fewer tests on older versions of python and mongo.

    • Proposed Shards: xmodule-with-lms, xmodule-with-cms

  • Kyle will have a detailed proposal in the form of a PR

Custom Settings Files

Kyle or Feanil

• https://docs.openedx.org/projects/openedx-proposals/en/latest/architectural-decisions/oep-0045-arch-ops-and-config.html

  • Summary: Defaults live in a python file and you should only use YAML to override things.

  • Proposal: This is wrong, it is useful and valuable to let operators have their own custom settings file.

    • Dynamically loading classes

    • Compute values an runtime.

• Next Steps:

  • OEP should be updated

  • Operators that are not using Tutor should be prepared to load settings in the future from a different location so that they can load custom classpath.
