Hello,

I was trying to install this app to my Open edX Hawthorn.2 release.
I was following the steps in README file, but when I run migrations, I got this error

edxapp@edx:~/custom-form-app$ python /edx/app/edxapp/edx-platform/manage.py lms syncdb --migrate --settings=aws

can any one help me out

To whom it may concern,

I tried to use this instance in the EDX Bitnami instance and tried the following two options:
1. option with the default admin.py

when I run the DB migration script:
sudo /opt/bitnami/apps/edx/bin/python.edxapp ./manage.py lms syncdb --migrate ext_registration --settings aws

The error shows:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./manage.py", line 112, in
startup.run()
File "/opt/bitnami/apps/edx/edx-platform/lms/startup.py", line 52, in run

module = import_module(entry)
File "/opt/bitnami/python/lib/python2.7/importlib/init.py", line 37, in import_module
import(name)
ImportError: No module named ext_registration

option 2: update the admin.py to:

"""Django admin pages for registration form extention configuration. """
from config_models.admin import ConfigurationModelAdmin
from django.contrib import admin

from .models import ExtraUserInfo

Register your models here.

admin.site.register(ExtraUserInfo, ConfigurationModelAdmin)

Facing the same issue and error while migrating. Could you please tell me what's the solution? Thanks!

Thanks for this really helpful example, @bradenmacdonald and @Kelketek

Is there a way of setting up Ansible files to automate setup so the manual part of the process doesn't need to be repeated when spinning up new edxapp instances in the future?

I can add the git repo to EDXAPP_EXTRA_REQUIREMENTS, but that doesn't actually add the app to INSTALLED_APPS.

I don't see a direct way to do this in my fork of configuration, so I would think the way to automate this would be to update my edx-platform fork directly, updating the common.py file for the lms so that OPTIONAL_APPS array includes the string 'custom_form_app'.

To automate adding writing REGISTRATION_EXTENSION_FORM to lms.env.json, I think I can just add it to EDXAPP_ENV_EXTRA in my server-vars.yml

EDXAPP_ENV_EXTRA:
  REGISTRATION_EXTENSION_FORM: "custom_reg_form.forms.ExtraInfoForm"

Thanks for any thoughts.
