Jeff Bradberry df61d1a59c Upgrade to Django 3.0
- upgrades
  - Django 3.0.14
  - django-jsonfield 1.4.1 (from 1.2.0)
  - django-oauth-toolkit 1.4.1 (from 1.1.3)
    - Stopping here because later versions have changes to the
      underlying model to support OpenID Connect.  Presumably this can
      be dealt with via a migration in our project.
  - django-guid 2.2.1 (from 2.2.0)
  - django-debug-toolbar 3.2.4 (from 1.11.1)
  - python3-saml 1.13.0 (from 1.9.0)
  - xmlsec 1.3.12 (from 1.3.3)

- Remove our project's use of django.utils.six in favor of directly
  using six, in awx.sso.fields.

- Temporarily monkey patch six back in as django.utils.six, since
  django-jsonfield makes use of that import, and is no longer being
  updated.  Hopefully we can do away with this dependency with the new
  generalized JSONField brought in with Django 3.1.

- Force a json decoder to be used with all instances of JSONField
  brought in by django-jsonfield.  This deals with the 'cast to text'
  problem noted previously in our UPGRADE_BLOCKERS.

- Remove the validate_uris validator from the OAuth2Application in
  migration 0025, per the UPGRADE_BLOCKERS, and remove that note.

- Update the TEMPLATES setting to satisfy Django Debug Toolbar.  It
  requires at least one entry that has APP_DIRS=True, and as near as I
  can tell our custom OPTIONS.loaders setting was effectively doing
  the same thing as Django's own machinery if this setting is set.

# Dependency Management
The `requirements.txt` file is generated from `requirements.in`, using `pip-tools` `pip-compile`.
## How To Use
Commands should be run from inside the `./requirements` directory of the awx repository.
### Upgrading or Adding Select Libraries
If you need to add or upgrade one targeted library, then modify `requirements.in`,
then run the script:
`./updater.sh`
NOTE: `./updater.sh` uses /usr/bin/python3.6, to match the current python version
(3.6) used to build releases.
##### Note - watch out for the updater script, using paths local to your machine instead of generalized paths; ie
```bash
# via -r /awx_devel/requirements/requirements.in <-RIGHT
# via -r /home/foo/bar/awx/requirements/requirements.in <-WRONG
```
#### Upgrading Unpinned Dependency
If you require a new version of a dependency that does not have a pinned version
for a fix or feature, pin a minimum version and run `./updater.sh`. For example,
replace the line `asgi-amqp` with `asgi-amqp>=1.1.4`, and consider leaving a
note.
Then next time that a general upgrade is performed, the minimum version specifiers
can be removed, because `*.txt` files are upgraded to latest.
### Upgrading Dependencies
You can upgrade (`pip-compile --upgrade`) the dependencies by running
`./updater.sh upgrade`.
## Licenses and Source Files
If any library has a change to its license with the upgrade, then the license for that library
inside of `docs/licenses` needs to be updated.
For libraries that have source distribution requirements (LGPL as an example),
a tarball of the library is kept along with the license.
To download the PyPI tarball, you can run this command:
```
pip download <pypi library name> -d docs/licenses/ --no-binary :all: --no-deps
```
Make sure to delete the old tarball if it is an upgrade.
## UPGRADE BLOCKERs
Anything pinned in `*.in` files involves additional manual work in
order to upgrade. Some information related to that work is outlined here.
### Django
For any upgrade of Django, it must be confirmed that
we don't regress on FIPS support before merging.
See internal integration test knowledge base article `how_to_test_FIPS`
for instructions.
If operating in a FIPS environment, `hashlib.md5()` will raise a `ValueError`,
but will support the `usedforsecurity` keyword on RHEL and Centos systems.
Keep an eye on https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/28401
The override of `names_digest` could easily be broken in a future version.
Check that the import remains the same in the desired version.
https://github.com/django/django/blob/af5ec222ccd24e81f9fec6c34836a4e503e7ccf7/django/db/backends/base/schema.py#L7
### social-auth-app-django
django-social keeps a list of backends in memory that it gathers
based on the value of `settings.AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS` *at import time*:
https://github.com/python-social-auth/social-app-django/blob/c1e2795b00b753d58a81fa6a0261d8dae1d9c73d/social_django/utils.py#L13
Our `settings.AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS` can *change*
dynamically as settings are changed (i.e., if somebody
configures Github OAuth2 integration), so we need to
_overwrite_ this in-memory value at the top of every request so
that we have the latest version
### django-oauth-toolkit
Versions later than 1.4.1 throw an error about id_token_id, due to the
OpenID Connect work that was done in
https://github.com/jazzband/django-oauth-toolkit/pull/915. This may
be fixable by creating a migration on our end?
### azure-keyvault
Upgrading to 4.0.0 causes error because imports changed.
```
File "/var/lib/awx/venv/awx/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/awx/main/credential_plugins/azure_kv.py", line 4, in <module>
from azure.keyvault import KeyVaultClient, KeyVaultAuthentication
ImportError: cannot import name 'KeyVaultClient'
```
### django-jsonfield
Instead of calling a `loads()` operation, the returned value is casted into
a string in some cases, introduced in the change:
https://github.com/adamchainz/django-jsonfield/pull/14
This breaks a very large amount of AWX code that assumes these fields
are returned as dicts. Upgrading this library will require a refactor
to accommodate this change.
### pip and setuptools
The offline installer needs to have functionality confirmed before upgrading these.
Versions need to match the versions used in the pip bootstrapping step
in the top-level Makefile.
### cryptography
The offline installer needs to have functionality confirmed before upgrading these.
## Library Notes
### pexpect
Version 4.8 makes us a little bit nervous with changes to `searchwindowsize` https://github.com/pexpect/pexpect/pull/579/files
Pin to `pexpect==4.7.x` until we have more time to move to `4.8` and test.
