Instructions on how to develop

  1. Install the devstack

The way devstack is configured, it installs a bunch of stuff in the parent of the devstack repo, so watch out for that!

  1. Bring up the devstack
$ cd devstack                                                                                                                                                             
$ make dev.up.all

Optionally, kill some of the containers if running out of memory.

$ cd remoxblock                                                                                                                                                           
$ export DEVSTACK_WORKSPACE=/path/to/parent/of/devstack                                                                                                                   
$ make kill-extra-containers

  1. Make changes

  2. deploy the xblock to the the lms and studio containers by running

$ cd remoxblock                                                                                                                                                           
$ make deploy-local-docker

That will pip install the xblock into the correct virtual-env on both the lms and studio containers and then restart their servers.
