Feat: Add support for django5.2 #2773

Talha-Rizwan · 2025-05-19T11:42:33Z

Resolves issue

Add Django 5.2 Support
This PR updates the codebase to be compatible with Django 5.2 while maintaining compatibility with Django 4.2.

Changes Made:

Update ci and tox files
Ran django-upgrade to apply necessary syntax updates for Django 5.2.
Run tests using tox command and resolved the warning
Ensured all modifications remain backward-compatible with Django 4.2.

django-upgrade usage:
I ran command git ls-files -z -- '*.py' | xargs -0r django-upgrade --target-version 5.2

credentials/settings/test.py

 # Local Directories
 TEST_ROOT = path("test_root")
-DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE = "django.core.files.storage.FileSystemStorage"
+STORAGES = {


It will effect django42 behaviour.

DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE can't be defined with STORAGES dict, so the only option left is to go with the format of django52 (STORAGES {}) and search for any breakage in code and update to STORAGES['default']['BACKEND'] from this DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE.
Also same for STATICFILES_STORAGE

Comments suppressed due to low confidence (1)

credentials/apps/api/v2/decorators.py:29

Accessing host via request.headers.get('host') may not be reliable. Consider using request.get_host() to properly obtain the host header and respect Django’s ALLOWED_HOSTS setting.

f"[{request.user.username}] originating from [{request.headers.get('host', 'Unknown')}] "

credentials/apps/api/v2/tests/test_views.py

        # simulate updating the existing record with the new field in the data
-        dt = datetime.datetime.now()
-        last_updated_at = dt.replace(tzinfo=pytz.UTC)
+        last_updated_at = datetime.now(timezone.utc)


Importing datetime from django.utils.timezone may not provide the standard datetime class. Consider from datetime import datetime and either use timezone.now() or from django.utils.timezone import utc for clarity.

Same, this is a good suggestion and we should switch to just calling timezone.now()

-        updated_at_utc = updated_at_dt.replace(tzinfo=pytz.UTC)
+        updated_at_utc = datetime.now(timezone.utc)


Same import concern here: datetime from django.utils.timezone may not map to the built-in datetime. Prefer from datetime import datetime or use timezone.now() to generate a UTC timestamp.

Suggested change

updated_at_utc = datetime.now(timezone.utc)

updated_at_utc = timezone.now()

This is a good suggestion, using timezone.now will give you zone aware times in UTC and we don't have to use the passthrough import of datetime which may go away in the future.

tox.ini

 [testenv]
 deps =
    django42: -r requirements/django.txt
+    django52: -r requirements/django.txt


This isn't actually testing Django 5.2, the django.txt file only pins to the current version of django.

Suggested change

django52: -r requirements/django.txt

django52: django>=5.2

What's the reason for this change?

reverted. it was by the package.

awais786 · 2025-06-16T17:14:16Z

I've updated all the code, and this PR looks good overall. However, the storage-related work is still pending. For django52, we need to use the STORAGES dictionary, which hasn't been addressed yet. We will follow edx-platform implementation for this change.

openedx/edx-platform#36885 ( This PR will update the default file storage usage )

feanil · 2025-06-20T18:42:09Z

@awais786 that makes sense, should the helper function that Daniel added get moved to edx-django-utils? so it can also be used here?

awais786 · 2025-06-24T15:20:37Z

should the helper function that Daniel added get moved to edx-django-utils? so it can also be used here?

This repository doesn't use get_storage_class, so there's no usage here. However, the function could be moved to a shared location to support other packages like edx-val or similar.

awais786 · 2025-06-24T15:21:21Z

@feanil should we merge this now and fix the STORAGES later or wait for the owning team review ?

feanil · 2025-07-17T18:52:47Z

PR's been open long enough, if you're happy with it, I think it's okay to merge. Looks like there are some conflicts and it needs a rebase.

Let me know if you need me to press the merge button.

awais786 · 2025-07-23T19:17:20Z

@feanil I can't merge this. Please go ahead.
