[Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'TMPDIR=tmp'

Hello I am Ersoy, a student from TU/e. I am part of a team that is working on creating a course on the OpenLearnity edX platform. Recently, I started seeing errors on some questions that I created earlier that had no problems. Specifically for the Python Evaluated question types on the platform, I get the error [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'TMPDIR=tmp&#39 . As I said, the questions used to work fine but somehow I get this error for basically and Python or Javascript evaluated questions.

Furthermore, to test if the issue was with my scripts (even though they were not changed) I tried to create a default Python Evaluated question and the same error showed up even before I wrote my script.

I found some similar errors on different forms but none of them really addressed my issue. I also provided the full error displayed on the platform below:

Those kind of problems require a properly configured code sandbox to be able to run.

You need to contact your site operator and ask them to enable such sandbox. If your platform is deployed using Tutor, then the easiest option is to use the codejail plugin. If it was working before maybe they can check if there’s a misconfiguration error.
