openedx_learning/apps/authoring/backup_restore/toml.py

+    if "entity" not in pe_data:
+        raise ValueError("Invalid publishable entity TOML: missing 'entity' section")
+    if "version" not in pe_data:
+        raise ValueError("Invalid publishable entity TOML: missing 'version' section")
+    if "key" not in pe_data["entity"]:
+        raise ValueError("Invalid publishable entity TOML: missing 'key' field")
+    if "can_stand_alone" not in pe_data["entity"]:
+        raise ValueError("Invalid publishable entity TOML: missing 'can_stand_alone' field")


Assume that these error messages will go into a log file, and try to surface everything that's wrong with the publishable entity at once, not just one at a time. Also include identifying information for which publishable entity is missing this information if possible, so there's some way to identify it.

I implemented serializers to collect those errors for a future log file. Thank you.

+        component_content = self._read_file_from_zip(zipf, component_file_path)
+        component_data, component_version_data = parse_publishable_entity_toml(component_content)
+
+        with publishing_api.bulk_draft_changes_for(learning_package.id):


If it's straightforward to do, we probably want two big bulk_draft_changes_for blocks--the first loads the published versions of everything and publishes them. The second would create the draft versions of everything.

Change applied, thanks!

openedx_learning/apps/authoring/backup_restore/zipper.py

+                A tuple of (ComponentType, local_key) if valid, else (None, None).
+        """
+        if not entity_key:
+            return None, None


Why return this instead of raising an error?

Yeah it was weird. I changed it. Thanks

Is there a newer version of this that you haven't pushed up yet?

Oh, I see. I forgot to remove it. It’s no longer needed since I added this logic in the components API layer. I'll remove it now.

Applied. Thank you

ormsbee · 2025-09-19T18:31:49Z

openedx_learning/apps/authoring/backup_restore/zipper.py

+
+        # Extract component type information
+        namespace, component_type_name, filename = parts
+        local_key = filename.rsplit(".", 1)[0]  # Remove .toml extension


The component key parts should be derived from the [entity] key, not the file path, since the entity key is the canonical source for that data. Also, the logic for deriving the key parts from the entity key is something that could go into the components app api.py file.

It was already using the entity key. I applied a change to move it to the component API file. Thanks.

+
+            # Only assign draft if it’s not the same as published
+            if version_num == draft_version_num and version_num != published_version_num:
+                draft_version = version


The draft_version should exist regardless of whether or not it's the same as the published version.

Fixed. Thanks

- Add Component and ComponentVersion serializers. The goal is to validate inputs and capture errors consistently. - Refactor the component saving process: it now uses two separate blocks with the bulk draft changes context manager.

dwong2708 · 2025-09-20T18:38:40Z

First round of addressing comments is done.

In a nutshell, I implemented these changes:

Added Component and ComponentVersion serializers to validate inputs and capture errors consistently, supporting future error logging.
Refactored the component saving process: it now uses two separate blocks with the bulk draft changes context manager.

Results derived from these changes:

Thank you!

ormsbee

Can you please investigate using DRF Serializers to do the validation? It seems like if we're at the point where we're using serializer classes, we might as well use standard ones.

You'd probably want to subclass rest_framework.serializers.Serializer for this work.

Thank you.

dwong2708 · 2025-09-22T23:35:38Z

I agree with using DRF Serializer, it was straightforward to implement here.
I was looking at this thread: https://openedx.slack.com/archives/C05NT2YN820/p1758574908253769, and Pydantic would have been nice to use since it’s less coupled. However, our environment is Django-based, so I agree that using a DRF serializer is the right choice.
Thank you

ormsbee

Question and a small request for a test, but otherwise looks good to merge. Thank you.

+            if not file.endswith(".toml"):
+                # Skip non-TOML files
+                continue


How do non-TOML files end up here in the first place?

The non-TOML files are static files. Here’s an example list

file entities/xblock.v1/drag-and-drop-v2/4d1b2fac-8b30-42fb-872d-6b10ab580b27/component_versions/v2/block.xml file entities/xblock.v1/html/e32d5479-9492-41f6-9222-550a7346bc37/component_versions/v5/static/me.png file entities/xblock.v1/html/e32d5479-9492-41f6-9222-550a7346bc37/component_versions/v5/block.xml file entities/xblock.v1/html/e32d5479-9492-41f6-9222-550a7346bc37/component_versions/v4/block.xml file entities/xblock.v1/html/e32d5479-9492-41f6-9222-550a7346bc37/component_versions/v4/static/me.png file entities/xblock.v1/openassessment/1ee38208-a585-4455-a27e-4930aa541f53/component_versions/v2/block.xml file entities/xblock.v1/problem/256739e8-c2df-4ced-bd10-8156f6cfa90b/component_versions/v2/block.xml file entities/xblock.v1/survey/6681da3f-b056-4c6e-a8f9-040967907471/component_versions/v1/block.xml file entities/xblock.v1/video/22601ebd-9da8-430b-9778-cfe059a98568/component_versions/v3/block.xml

This has not been implemented yet, but it will be included in the next steps

Please write a test for this.

Applied. Thanks
