Description

This PR adds cms.djangoapps.contentstore.apps.ContentstoreConfig in INSTALLED_APPS for CCX feature in production settings. Without this, the course publish signals are not triggerred at the time of CCX creation resulting in a CourseOutlineData.DoesNotExist error for the CCX courses.

Useful information to include:

• Which edX user roles will this change impact? "Learner", "Course Author"
• Provide links to the description of corresponding configuration changes. Remember to correctly annotate these
  changes.

Testing instructions

To test this locally, follow the steps below

• In your private.py in LMS, add these settings to enable CCX:

FEATURES["CUSTOM_COURSES_EDX"]=True
INSTALLED_APPS += ['lms.djangoapps.ccx', 'openedx.core.djangoapps.ccxcon.apps.CCXConnectorConfig']
COURSE_IMPORT_EXPORT_STORAGE = 'django.core.files.storage.FileSystemStorage'
COURSEGRAPH_DUMP_COURSE_ON_PUBLISH = False
MODULESTORE_FIELD_OVERRIDE_PROVIDERS += ('lms.djangoapps.ccx.overrides.CustomCoursesForEdxOverrideProvider',)

• In your private.py in CMS, add this setting:

FEATURES["CUSTOM_COURSES_EDX"]=True

• In Studio, create a course and go to advanced settings. Toggle the "Enable CCX" setting there.

• Next, go to the course's instructor dashboard, open the membership tab, and add a CCX coach.

• Log in as the CCX coach, open the course you created, go to the CCX coach tab, and create a CCX. (You can find all the steps to create a CCX in the docs).

• Save your changes in the Schedule Tab, then check the course outline of the CCX course.

  • You’ll notice the course outline won’t load, and you’ll see a CourseOutlineData.DoesNotExist error in your LMS logs.

• To fix this, update the INSTALLED_APPS line in LMS settings to:

INSTALLED_APPS += ['lms.djangoapps.ccx', 'openedx.core.djangoapps.ccxcon.apps.CCXConnectorConfig', 'cms.djangoapps.contentstore.apps.ContentstoreConfig', 'openedx.core.djangoapps.content.search', 'openedx.core.djangoapps.content_staging']

• Go back to the Schedule Tab, make any changes, and save again.

• Finally, revisit the course outline page of the CCX course.

  • The outline will now load perfectly without any errors.
