Template Changes Not Reflecting in LMS Homepage (Tutor Dev Setup)

Development Design

Hi everyone,

I’m working with Open edX using Tutor in dev mode, and I’m trying to customize the LMS homepage by modifying the index.html file. I commented out the “It works! Powered by the Open edX® Platform” text in:

lms/templates/index.html

Then I ran:

tutor dev run lms paver update_assets lms --settings=tutor.development
tutor dev restart lms

But the changes are not appearing on the site, even after clearing the browser cache.
Can someone please help me figure out which exact file controls the LMS homepage content in Tutor dev mode?

Hi there!

Can you confirm if you bind-mounted the edx-platform source directory where you’re making the modifications via tutor mounts add...?

Also, what version of Open edX are you attempting this with? The reason I ask is that paver has recently been removed from master.

In any case, assuming you did in fact bind-mount edx-platform, try the following:

tutor dev do init -l lms

It should run the right commands to rebuild assets regardless of the version you’re running.
