Proposal Date

Target Ticket Acceptance Date

2023-07-14

Earliest Open edX Named Release Without This Functionality

Redwood - 2024-04

Rationale

Currently, we are trying to deprecate paver overall and this method is currently not working in one of our environments, so we believe the best way forward is to delete this method.

Removal

https://github.com/openedx/edx-platform/blob/master/pavelib/servers.py#L243

Replacement

We will be replacing this call with a make migrate command in the Makefile in order to make it more consistent with other IDAs in the Open edX ecosystem.

Deprecation

No response

Migration

No response

Additional Info

No response

Note: The newer make migrate just run migrations, and will no longer install requirements first like paver update_db used to.

Also, this DEPR will resolve the ticket #32252.

Burn it down 🔥 🔥

Potentially worth nothing, the replacement to this that Tutor provides is:

tutor [dev|local|k8s] run lms ./manage.py lms migrate
tutor [dev|local|k8s] run cms ./manage.py cms migrate

Alternatively, re-running tutor ... launch will run migrations, among other several other environment updates:

tutor [dev|local|k8s] launch

And for Devstack, it's:

make dev.up.lms+cms
make dev.migrate.lms dev.migrate.cms
