Invalid CREDENTIALS_SERVICE_USERNAME in lms/envs/common.py

[Silidrone]

Hi,

I believe this is a BUG.

I am using tutor 17.0.0
Freshly set up credential fails to generate program certificate with the following error:

Failed to create a credentials API client to award program certificates

(for reference, it fails in openedx/core/djangoapps/programs/tasks.py on line 232, where CREDENTIALS_SERVICE_USERNAME is used as a parameter to get_credentials_api_client)

After some investigation, I figured out this is because the CREDENTIALS_SERVICE_USERNAME is currently incorrectly set in lms/envs/common.py. Currently it is set as credentials_service_user but when I change it to credentials only, my program certificate gets generated successfully.

Hi @Silidrone,

I've created a ticket for team to take a look at the reported issue, but it will take a little bit of time before it is prioritized and actioned on.

Is there any chance you'd like to submit your fix and we can review it?

Otherwise, we appreciate your report and will get to it as soon as possible.

Hi @Silidrone,

After chatting with a few others from the community, we believe this to be an issue with the Credentials plugin itself for Tutor. I'm going to close this issue and open one against the tutor-credentials project.
