Open response assignment (ORA) upload file "Could not retrieve upload url"

Hi all,

I am facing a problem while uploading files against ORA. I am trying to upload file on my local machine and using the following configuration in my app/edxapp/edx-platform/lms/envs/common.py

RA2_FILEUPLOAD_BACKEND = "filesystem"
ORA2_FILEUPLOAD_CACHE_NAME= "default"
ORA2_FILEUPLOAD_ROOT = os.path.join(MEDIA_ROOT, 'ora-upload/')

Here is an image of my problem :

Am I missing something ?

When you see a 500 error, it means that there is an error report in the server logs. That’s where you should look for clues to the problem.

Following is error I can see in my logs :

As I can see in above error json.dump() fails to create JSON from object passed in /edx/app/edxapp/venvs/edxapp/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/xblock/mixins.py

Mr. @omar even highlighted something similar here : Translate the default XBlock data - #3 by omar

Will it be right to use following code inside xblock/mixins.py

from rest_framework.utils.encoders import JSONEncoder
value = json.dumps(..., cls=JSONEncoder)

For file “/edx/app/edxapp/venvs/edxapp/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/xblock/mixins.py”, line 74, in wrapper

return Response(json.dumps(response), content_type=‘application/json’, charset=‘utf8’)

@wak120191 Good catch! This issue was fixed in release 2.2.2: https://github.com/edx/edx-ora2/pull/1144/files

Unfortunately, ironwood ships with 2.2.0. I suggest you upgrade edx-ora2 to 2.2.2.
