JavaScript error in Tutor 18.0, 18.1, 18.1.1, 18.1.2, 18.1.3 - users unable to access account page.

[pkolyvas]

Bug description

There is an issue with Tutor v18.0+ (18.0, 18.1.0, 18.1.1, 18.1.2 and 18.1.3) where the accounts page (MFE app) fails to load as a result of some issues with JavaScript assets.

Please see this screenshot. This occurs when someone tries to view their account in order to validate or edit their user profile:

The logs provide no indication of error, in part because, as best as we can tell, the root cause is on the client side assets. The browser console (tested on Chrome, Firefox, Safari) provides the same error:

How to reproduce

Reproduction is possible on a vanilla, completely unchanged Tutor install. This is true for both someone installing via PIP as well as customers using the AWS AMI Marketplace image. Please see this thread for even more context: https://discuss.openedx.org/t/problem-displaying-account-content-after-upgraded-to-redwood-with-tutor-v18/13641

I use a script to install tutor, as part of spinning up the EC2 instance via Terraform. The userdata script is here and can be easily converted into a shell script for reproduction: https://gist.github.com/pkolyvas/331ac52029801cd38190600ffecb05f2

Environment

• AWS Marketplace AMI upgrade
• Ubuntu 24.04LTS/amd64/Tutor 18.0,18.1,18.1.1,18.1.2 & 18.1.3 confirmed.

1. What plugins are you running? tutor plugins list
2. What is your OS and browser version?
3. What is the output of tutor mounts list?

[pkolyvas]

1. None other than stock as per the linked reproduction script. As noted in the issue, this is on a stock Tutor install. As if someone was following the quickstart guide with no customizations.

PLUGINS:
- forum
- indigo
- mfe

2. MacOS / Unbuntu 22.04 / Windows 11. All browsers at whatever the current release build is. Edge, Chrome, Firefox 129, Safari - same behaviour.

3. Unfortunately, I don't have a running 18.x install at the moment. I've asked others in the thread linked above to include their information here as well since the issue seems to be consistent across a number of users.

[regisb]

Please paste the output of tutor plugins list. This command is giving some useful information, including the plugin versions.

Thanks for the help on this!

[regisb]

Am I correct in assuming that you are not facing that issue on https://apps.sandbox.openedx.edly.io/account/ ?
Login: admin / admin or student / student

[Tyler-SEM]

Correct, that link works fine.

[pkolyvas]

Alright I rolled another fresh installation of 18.1.3 (using the provided script above). Same issue.

AWS EC2, Canonical's most up-to-date 24.04LTS AMI image on an M7i-flex.large instance, with a public IP (no reverse proxy / load-balancer in front of the instance).

I have a complete set of logs available from the installation all the way to the error here: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/pkolyvas/aa8d0967d62b850abc8595e57645b699/raw/5a056c1e559f13408d94c5dbb91766611c9b1691/tutor.log

Hope this is more helpful. :)

Yes, I finally managed to reproduce the issue. But I haven't figured out why the issue was not happening on my local setup, and why it's not happening on sandbox.openedx.edly.io either. This is almost certainly an issue related to Docker caching during image building. @hinakhadim is still investigating...

Here is the list of my docker images.

[VoThanhDanh95]

I solved the problem by just install the tutor by clone the git and used pip install -e . instead of "pip install tutor[full]"

EDIT by @regisb: Nope, this is not going to resolve anything. Don't waste your time.

[acaleechurn]

Is there a time frame to get this issue fixed?

[hinakhadim]

@acaleechurn PR has been merged to resolve this issue. You can get the fix in tutor-indigo=18.1.1.

[DawoudSheraz]

overhangio/tutor-indigo#96 has resolved this.
