Kolibri plugin for rendering Khan Academy Perseus style exercises

Project description

What is this?

Kolibri is a Learning Management System / Learning App designed to run on low-power devices, targeting the needs of learners and teachers in contexts with limited infrastructure. See learningequality.org/kolibri for more info.

Perseus is Khan Academy’s exercise question editor and renderer. See github.com/Khan/perseus for more info.

This package is a wrapper around Perseus which allows it to be embedded and used within Kolibri.

Installation

This plugin is bundled with Kolibri - it is unlikely that you need to install it.. If you are running a custom version, you can install it like this:

  1. Inside your Kolibri virtual environment:

    pip install kolibri-perseus-exercise-plugin
  2. Activate the plugin:

    kolibri plugin kolibri_exercise_perseus_plugin enable
  3. Restart Kolibri.

Getting started with development

  1. Clone this repo.

  2. Open terminal in your Kolibri repo.

  3. Run the following commands, with your Kolibri development virtual env enabled:

    make clean
    pip install -e .
    pip install -e <KOLIBRI-PERSEUS-PLUGIN-LOCAL-PATH>
    kolibri plugin kolibri_exercise_perseus_plugin enable
    yarn install
  4. Make sure that this message DID NOT appear in your logging output of yarn install:

    WARNING  assets/src/module.js not found for plugin exercise_perseus_render_module.
  5. After cloning for the first time, or if you made any changes to the project, you need to rebuild it:

    make assets

Updating translation strings

Follow the directions in our Kolibri i18n docs.

Release process and versioning

The versioning and releasing of this kolibri_exercise_perseus_plugin plugin is independent of both Kolibri and Perseus. We use semantic versioning, and create release branches for each minor release.

How to publish to PyPi?

When publishing, you’ll need a GPG key to sign the package and associate it with your identity. You’ll need to have gpg on your path. Some resources that might be helpful:

  1. Follow the instructions above to installing the plugin for development.

  2. Run pip install twine.

  3. Update the version number in kolibri_exercise_perseus_plugin/__init__.py. Commit it to the perseus release branch. Tag a new release using github’s web UI.

  4. From the Kolibri repo (NOT THE PERSEUS REPO) run the frontend build command:

    make assets
  5. Change directory to the perseus repo. Build the .whl file by running:

    make dist
  6. Check that there are CSS, JS, and JSON files when searching the wheel file for kolibri_exercise_perseus_plugin:

    unzip -vl dist/kolibri_exercise_perseus_plugin-1.1.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl | grep exercise_perseus_render_module
  7. Sign and publish to PyPi:

    make release

Known issues

Development installation version not active

If you ran make dist or make pex on Kolibri with kolibri-exercise-perseus-plugin==x.x.x present in kolibri/requirements/base.txt, Kolibri will generate an kolibri_exercise_perseus_plugin instance inside its kolibri/dist folder and bundle it for further distribution. That means manually installing kolibri_exercise_perseus_plugin for development won’t take any effects. One way to fix this issue is to run make clean on Kolibri.
