Target Plan Accepted Date
N/A -- Already Accepted

Target Transition Unblocked Date

Ulmo Cutoff (Oct 23)

Rationale
This is a mandatory part of the django 4.2->5.2 upgrade.

Description
These Django settings:

1. DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE
2. STATICFILES_STORAGE

have been replaced with with:

• STORAGES

See the openedx/edx-platform#37002 for more details. For discovery PR is still open.

For operators using a custom DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE
Update your config now. The old settings no longer work.

For operators using a YAML File
We have included a temp backwards compatibility shim so that the old settings are still respected when specified via YAML.

This shim will be removed right after the Ulmo cut (as early as Oct 9) so please update your config in the next month.

@awais786 is this a duplicate of openedx/edx-platform#37333 ?

Nevermind, I see now that this is for course-discovery.

[dianakhuang]

I believe this is complete. Is it @awais786 ?

[awais786]

We have merged the django52 changes but this ticket is for operators as per ticket description.

This shim will be removed right after the Ulmo cut (as early as Oct 9) so please update your config in the next month.
