Any ideas? Thanks!

Seem like some xblocks you installed are not compatible with Palm.
Try to xblocks that are not compatible.
Xblocks that you want to build into the openedx images can be found at:
“$(tutor config printroot)/env/build/openedx/requirements/private.txt”

In the log I can see “https://github.com/eduNEXT/flow-control-xblock.git” is a problem.

You can remove that xblock and rebuild to see if it works.
If you are upgrading production env, you should remove that xblock references or have it fixed to avoid unexpected errors.

Thanks @Anh_Vu_Nguy_n that got it to build successfully. Do you know the best way to submit issues to that edX repository? There is no issues tab.

We can try and ping the authors here. It looks like the Flow Control XBlock might not work with Palm, yet. @Felipe, is eduNext still actively maintaining it?

It seems like we need to drop support for python 3.5 here.

We definitely are still supporting this, but now that MFEs are obligatory for learning this xblock might need a big rework. I’ll make the change to the python requirement anyways because having this xblock break builds is not cool.
