I have a test user account which was previously set up a long time ago (perhaps Lilac?), and which has a username that’s only 2 characters long: “aa”.
I recently saw on Palm that this user can’t sign in by their username! (email still works, and I usually sign in by email not username, so this is the first time I’ve seen this error.)
Mysteriously, only this test user is also having an error trying to view discussion pages:
I see an error of openedx.core.djangoapps.django_comment_common.comment_client.utils.CommentClientRequestError: ["Username is already taken"] (full error below).
Is the discussion error related to the login error, and are they both due to not supporting short usernames anymore?
Full error when test user aa tries to post to forums:
