fix: work around outline generation bug #1108
Conversation
This works around an upstream bug where the course outline is not generated when a course is imported, resulting in a 500 error when trying to access the imported course in the LMS.

Is it impacting all the courses or only under certain circumstances? If the outline is not generated in initial import, does it not generate when a user navigates to LMS or edits something on CMS?

That's a good question. I would guess this impacts all courses that are imported using the same command, yes, but I haven't actually tested it.

@arbrandes Were you able to test ☝🏽 ? Thanks

What I figured out is that this only happens in dev mode, but with any course.

If it happens for every course, how does this fix the larger problem?

There's another issue with the proposed fix, which is that it does not work when importing courses other than course-v1:OpenedX+DemoX+DemoCourse.
AFAIU this is not a bug in Tutor, but in edx-platform, and it should be fixed there. We can cherry-pick the change here if necessary.
