edx-platform: manual install required for new openedx directory

[Andy Armstrong]

The changes to support the new openedx directory have been merged to edx-platform master, and there is an issue that might require manual intervention. For some people, running 'paver install_prereqs' will not correctly update the Open edX package, which leads to unit test failures with errors like this:

  UserPartitionError: Unrecognized scheme random

The problem appears to be that pip has not noticed the bump in the Open edX version number and so has not correctly reinstalled the package. The workaround is to execute the following from your devstack:

  paver install_prereqs; pip install -e .

You can check that you have the correct version installed with the following command. It should show that you have version 0.2:

  ~/edx-platform$ pip list | grep Open-edX

  Open-edX (0.2, /edx/app/edxapp/edx-platform)

Please let me know if you have any problems with this.

I followed the manual instructions but still get version 1.0

Hi Ahmad,

I'm sorry that the instructions didn't work for you. A more aggressive option is to do the following:

    pip uninstall Open-edX      (then say 'y' to proceed)

    paver install_prereqs; pip install -e .

    pip list | grep Open-edX

Let me know if this works.

Thanks Andy,
it is not working for me and I knew why. the reason is that edx-platfrom is pulling code from "release" branch not master so I still not having the setup.py updated version.

I changed to master and every thing is fine, thanks
