Demonstration Course not exporting in Open edX Olive Demo Server
An attempt on exporting the Demonstration Course course-v1:edX+DemoX+Demo_Course failed over the week-end on the previous Open edX Olive Demo Server. Something about a transcript file not being available.
A second attempt on exporting the Demonstration Course course-v1:edX+DemoX+Demo_Course failed today (Oct 24) with the export just hanging on us.
I imported the https://github.com/openedx/openedx-demo-course with the tarball available https://github.com/openedx/edx-demo-course/releases/download/v1.1/edx_demo_course_1_1.tar.gz. The course is available on the Open edX Olive Demo Server as course-v1:edX+DemoX+Demo_Course2
I did not have any problems exporting this course on the new server or in the old server.
We might be a defective Demonstration Course on the Open edX Olive Demo Server.
Please note that there seems to be differences in the contents of the course I imported and the course with is having export issues. There is a new "holding section" at the end of course-v1:edX+DemoX+Demo_Course2. It seems to replace the "prerequisites" section at the end of course-v1:edX+DemoX+Demo_Course.
We should determine which is the "real" Demonstration Course.
Hi there! Something similar happened during the nutmeg testing: https://github.com/openedx/build-test-release-wg/issues/158#issuecomment-1127615140
Thanks for pointing it out @mariajgrimaldi Now that's interesting. I had no problem importing the Demonstration Course tarball in another course. And no problem exporting it afterwards. I don't know what happens when @regisb imports it in the Demo Server. Could it be a defective tarball being imported?
AFAIK this issue is related to the demonstration course itself. We should probably open an issue in the upstream repository: https://github.com/openedx/openedx-demo-course
@sambapete can we mark this as resolved? I just exported and imported a new course with success.
Yes. The only problem I have encountered is with the demo course that is imported by Tutor.
I will close this issue as it only applies to the demo course. Export of other courses do work.
