I have just installed ironwood.master and there seems to be a problem with performing

python /edx/app/edxapp/edx-platform/manage.py lms makemigrations --settings=aws

python /edx/app/edxapp/edx-platform/manage.py lms makemigrations --settings=production

Try this as you are on ironwood.master branch. Maybe this can help.

Hey @kribby
It’s usually happening when you have a syntax error in you .env.json files.
restoring those files from a backup would be a solution.

Thank you @jramnai @mahyard

The problem was due .env.json.
