Changes in This PR

1. XML Block Extraction Function

Added process_course_xml_blocks() in packages/ol-orchestrate-lib/src/ol_orchestrate/lib/openedx.py:

  • Extracts all blocks from course XML archives (not just specific metadata)
  • Processes 11+ block types: chapter, sequential, vertical, video, problem, html, discussion, lti, lti_consumer, word_cloud, poll_question
  • Captures complete XML metadata: display names, attributes, file paths
  • Includes type-specific fields: video duration/edx_video_id, problem weight/max_attempts
  • Gracefully handles malformed XML with proper error handling
  • Returns tuple: (blocks list, static assets tar archive)
  • Uses allowlist approach for block types with debug logging
  • Collects all non-XML files (SRT subtitles, HTML, PDFs) into separate tar archive

2. Dagster Asset Integration

edX.org Platform - Updated extract_edxorg_courserun_metadata multi-asset in dg_projects/edxorg/edxorg/assets/openedx_course_archives.py:

  • Added course_xml_blocks output writing to S3 at edxorg/processed_data/course_xml_blocks/{source_system}/{course_id}/{version}.json
  • Added course_static_assets output for non-XML files
  • Leverages existing partitioning strategy (course_id + source_system: prod/edge)
  • Includes metadata: course_id, object_key, block_count
  • Uses SHA256 hashing for data versioning

Open edX Platform - Updated extract_courserun_details multi-asset in dg_projects/openedx/openedx/assets/openedx.py:

  • Added course_xml_blocks output writing to S3 at openedx/processed_data/course_xml_blocks/{source_system}/{course_id}/{version}.json
  • Added course_static_assets output for non-XML files
  • Source system tracking: mitxonline, xpro, mitx

  • Applies semantic naming convention: courserun_readable_id, coursestructure_xml_source_system, coursestructure_xml_block_*, video_*, problem_*
  • Type casts video duration with NULL handling: cast(nullif(trim(duration), '') as decimal(38, 4))
  • Standardizes timestamps to ISO8601 via cast_timestamp_to_iso8601 macro

<issue_title>Process course XML contents for Open edX and edX.org courses into raw layer and dbt staging models</issue_title>
<issue_description>## Summary

Process course XML contents from Open edX and edX.org course archives to load them into the raw layer of the data lakehouse and create dbt staging models for downstream analysis.

Background

Currently, the repository has functionality to extract specific metadata from course XML archives (course metadata, video details, certificate signatories, and policy information) through the extract_edxorg_courserun_metadata multi-asset in src/ol_orchestrate/assets/openedx_course_archives.py. However, the raw XML contents and course structure data are not being systematically loaded into the raw layer of the data warehouse for comprehensive analysis and transformation through dbt.

Current State

The existing implementation:

  • Extracts course XML archives from edX.org and Open edX instances
  • Processes specific elements using functions in src/ol_orchestrate/lib/openedx.py:
    • process_course_xml() - extracts course metadata
    • process_video_xml() - extracts video elements
    • process_policy_json() - extracts policy information
  • Outputs processed data to S3 as JSON/JSONL files
  • Has some staging models in src/ol_dbt/models/staging/edxorg/ that reference raw course structure data

What's Missing

The complete course XML contents, including all course components, blocks, and their relationships, need to be:

  1. Loaded into the raw layer (ol_warehouse_*_raw schemas)
  2. Staged through dbt models for consistent transformation and data quality
  3. Made available for downstream marts and analytics

Requirements

1. Raw Layer Data Loading

Objective: Load course XML contents into raw layer tables

Tasks:

  • Design schema for raw course XML data tables
    • Consider table structure for course blocks/components
    • Include metadata fields (retrieved_at, source_system, course_id, etc.)
    • Determine granularity (one row per block, per file, etc.)
  • Create Dagster assets to extract and load course XML data
    • Extend or create new assets in src/ol_orchestrate/assets/
    • Parse XML structure comprehensively (not just metadata)
    • Handle both edX.org and Open edX course formats
    • Implement incremental loading strategy
  • Configure data quality checks
    • Validate XML parsing completeness
    • Check for required fields
    • Monitor data freshness

Data Sources:

  • edX.org course archives (production and edge)
  • Open edX instance course exports
  • Archives stored in S3 buckets

Target Schema Pattern:

raw__edxorg__s3__course_xml_<entity>
raw__openedx__s3__course_xml_<entity>

2. dbt Staging Models

Objective: Create staging models to transform raw course XML data into clean, typed datasets

Tasks:

  • Generate dbt source definitions
    • Use bin/dbt-create-staging-models.py utility to scaffold sources
    • Define source freshness checks
    • Document all source columns
  • Create staging models
    • Build staging models in src/ol_dbt/models/staging/edxorg/
    • Apply consistent naming conventions (stg__edxorg__s3__course_xml_*)
    • Implement standard transformations:
      • Timestamp standardization (ISO8601)
      • JSON parsing and flattening where appropriate
      • Deduplication logic
      • Type casting
    • Add course_id and block_id semantic renaming
  • Create model documentation
    • Document all columns in YAML
    • Add model descriptions
    • Include examples of use cases
  • Add data quality tests
    • Unique/not null tests for key fields
    • Referential integrity checks
    • Value range validations
    • Freshness tests

Staging Model Pattern:

-- stg__edxorg__s3__course_xml_blocks.sql
with source as (
    select * from {{ source('ol_warehouse_raw_data', 'raw__edxorg__s3__course_xml_blocks') }}
)

, cleaned as (
    select
        course_id as courserun_id
        , block_id as coursestructure_block_id
        , block_type as coursestructure_block_type
        , block_title as coursestructure_block_title
        , {{ cast_timestamp_to_iso8601('retrieved_at') }} as coursestructure_retrieved_at
        , ...
    from source
)

select * from cleaned

3. Integration with Existing Pipeline

Tasks:

  • Update existing assets to output to raw layer
    • Modify extract_edxorg_courserun_metadata if needed
    • Ensure consistency with existing course structure processing
  • Align with existing course_structure staging model
    • Review stg__edxorg__s3__course_structure.sql
    • Ensure new models complement existing structure
    • Update intermediate/mart models if needed
  • Update orchestration schedules
    • Configure partitioning (by course_id and source_system)
    • Set appropriate refresh schedules
    • Handle backfilling for historical data

Code Review Summary

I've reviewed the branch with the most recent changes. The implementation looks solid overall with good recent fixes. Here's my analysis:

✅ Strengths

1. Well-Structured Implementation

  • Clean separation of concerns: extraction logic in ol_orchestrate/lib/openedx.py, asset orchestration in edxorg/assets, and dbt transformation layer
  • Comprehensive XML block extraction covering 11+ block types
  • Proper error handling with graceful degradation for malformed XML

2. Recent Fix (cc1f98d)

  • Correctly filters out assets directory and root course.xml file
  • Prevents duplicate/incorrect data in the extraction
  • Added appropriate noqa comments for complexity metrics

3. Data Quality

  • dbt staging model includes proper deduplication on (course_id, block_id, block_type)
  • Comprehensive not_null tests on key fields
  • Compound uniqueness test on grain: [courserun_readable_id, coursestructure_xml_block_id, coursestructure_xml_block_type, coursestructure_xml_retrieved_at]

4. Documentation

  • Thorough column-level documentation in both source and staging model YAML
  • Clear descriptions of type-specific fields (video, problem)
  • Proper semantic naming conventions applied

💡 Minor Suggestions

1. Type Casting Consistency
In stg__edxorg__s3__course_xml_blocks.sql line 14:

cast(duration as decimal(38, 4)) as video_duration,

Consider handling NULL/empty string cases explicitly if the source data might have those values.

2. Error Logging
In process_course_xml_blocks() at line 442-444, the broad exception handler silently continues. Consider logging at least the file path for debugging:

except Exception as e:  # noqa: BLE001, S112
    context.log.warning(f"Skipping malformed XML file {member.path}: {e}")
    continue

3. Block Type Validation
The code filters known block types but also allows unknown types to pass through (lines 378-384). This is flexible but could potentially include unexpected data. Consider logging unknown block types for monitoring.

✔️ Validation Passed

  • Python syntax: Valid
  • YAML syntax: Valid
  • Recent fixes properly address filtering issues
  • Follows existing codebase patterns for staging models
  • Proper use of dbt macros (deduplicate_raw_table, cast_timestamp_to_iso8601)

📊 Code Statistics

  • 263 lines added across 6 files
  • Core extraction function: 127 lines (appropriately complex for comprehensive XML processing)
  • Clean integration with existing asset pipeline

The implementation is production-ready. The minor suggestions are optional improvements for enhanced observability.

Updated Code Review - Latest Changes

I've reviewed the branch with the 2 most recent commits (45406f2 and c0d99fe). Significant improvements have been made based on previous feedback!

✅ Excellent Improvements

1. Allowlist Approach for Block Types (45406f2)

  • Changed from blocklist to allowlist using a set of known block types
  • Prevents unexpected data from being included
  • Added debug logging for unknown block types: log.debug("Skipping unknown block type...")
  • Addresses my previous suggestion Add data quality tests to edX pipeline #3

2. Enhanced Error Handling (c0d99fe)

3. NULL Handling in Type Casting (45406f2)

  • SQL now uses cast(nullif(trim(duration), '') as decimal(38, 4))
  • Properly handles NULL, empty string, and whitespace-only values
  • Addresses my previous suggestion Migrate to use dagster file manager #1

4. Source System Tracking (45406f2)

  • Added source_system parameter to process_course_xml_blocks()
  • Included in block data and staging model
  • Enables differentiation between prod/edge data

5. Static Assets Extraction (45406f2)

  • New feature: Collects all non-XML files into course_static_assets tar archive
  • Includes SRT subtitles, HTML content, PDFs
  • Returns tuple: (blocks, non_xml_assets_file)
  • New asset output properly integrated into Dagster pipeline

6. .gitignore Cleanup (45406f2)

  • Removed merge conflict markers
  • Clean file structure

7. Improved Logging (45406f2)

⚠️ Missing Documentation

Issue: source_system field is missing from YAML documentation

The field is used in:

  • Line 8 of stg__edxorg__s3__course_xml_blocks.sql
  • Line 436 in process_course_xml_blocks() function

But not documented in:

  • _edxorg_sources.yml (raw table columns)
  • _stg__edxorg__models.yml (staging model columns)

Recommendation: Add source_system documentation:

# In _edxorg_sources.yml after course_id:
- name: source_system
  description: str, ETL source system identifier (e.g. "prod", "edge")

# In _stg__edxorg__models.yml after courserun_readable_id:
- name: coursestructure_xml_source_system
  description: str, ETL source system identifier (prod or edge)
  tests:
  - not_null

✔️ Validation Results

  • Python syntax: ✅ Valid
  • YAML syntax: ✅ Valid (both files)
  • Integration: ✅ Proper tuple return and unpacking
  • Error handling: ✅ Comprehensive with descriptive messages
  • Type safety: ✅ Improved NULL handling

📊 Final Statistics

  • 310 lines added across 6 files
  • 2 new commits addressing all previous feedback
  • New feature: Static assets extraction
  • Enhanced error handling and logging

Status: Production-ready pending documentation update for source_system field.

…ned bundle with manifest

- Bug fix: non-XML files in drafts/, assets/, and static/ directories were
  incorrectly included in static_assets because the directory exclusion check
  was only applied after the non-XML branch had already appended them and
  continued. Moved the block_type exclusion check before the non-XML branch
  so it applies to all files regardless of extension.

- Add CourseStaticAssetsBundle Pydantic model with:
  - data_version: SHA-256 content hash of all static files sorted by path;
    changes only when asset content actually changes
  - manifest: JSON-serializable dict with data_version, file_count, and per-
    file metadata (path, mime_type, size_bytes)
  - files: raw (relative_path, bytes) pairs for archive construction

- Update process_course_xml_blocks() return type from
  list[tuple[str, bytes]] to CourseStaticAssetsBundle.

- Add course_static_assets_manifest AssetOut in openedx_course_archives.py:
  yields a separate manifest.json S3 object at a fixed key so downstream
  consumers can check the data version and inspect available files without
  fetching the full archive. The archive data_version now reflects the content
  hash of the static assets themselves (not the original raw archive hash).

- Update integration tests: use CourseStaticAssetsBundle fields, move import io
  to module level, fix pre-existing ruff violations (PT006, ARG001, PT018),
  add detect-secrets allowlist comment, add
  test_real_archive_static_assets_bundle_version_and_manifest to assert
  data_version format, manifest consistency, and exclusion of drafts/
  assets/static directories from the bundle.

There are some failing CI checks (ruff check and detect secrets) but otherwise all the feedback that was previously mentioned on this PR has been addressed.

  • Reworked logic for handling different types of files
  • Two new pydantic classes have been added (CourseXml Block and CourseStaticAssetsBundle
  • New Dagster output — openedx_course_archives.py
  • Updated integration tests — test_openedx_integration.py
  • Migrated to CourseStaticAssetsBundle API
  • Added test_real_archive_static_assets_bundle_version_and_manifest asserting version format, manifest consistency, and directory exclusion correctness
  • Fixed pre-existing ruff violations (PT006, ARG001, PT018) and moved import io to module level
  • Added comments where necessary

- dg_projects/openedx/openedx/assets/openedx.py: mirror the edxorg
  changes — rename static_assets to static_bundle, use bundle.files for
  tar construction, use bundle.data_version as DataVersion, use
  bundle.manifest['file_count'] for metadata, and add a new
  course_static_assets_manifest AssetOut that yields manifest.json to S3.

- packages/ol-orchestrate-lib/tests/lib/test_openedx.py: update
  test_process_course_xml_blocks_static_assets to use CourseStaticAssetsBundle
  API (bundle.files instead of the old tuple list). Fix the test fixture so
  non-XML files live in non-excluded directories (subtitles/, html/) and a
  file in static/ is used to verify the exclusion is enforced. Add assertion
  that no files from drafts/assets/static directories appear in the bundle.

Conflicts in _combined_models.yml and _stg__edxorg__models.yml arose
because the dbt-fusion migration (fcd88ee) wrapped test arguments in
an arguments: key and re-quoted string values. Resolved by taking the
new format for all existing content while preserving our new model
definitions (int__combined__course_xml_blocks and
stg__edxorg__s3__course_xml_blocks).

Bug: Temporary files for course assets are created without try...finally protection, causing file leaks on the filesystem if an I/O exception occurs before cleanup can be performed.
Severity: MEDIUM

Suggested Fix

Wrap the creation and processing of temporary files within a try...finally block. The file should be created in the try block, and the cleanup logic (e.g., os.remove(file_path)) should be placed in the finally block to ensure it executes even if an exception occurs.

Location: packages/ol-orchestrate-lib/src/ol_orchestrate/lib/openedx.py#L478-L482

Potential issue: In `extract_courserun_details()` and
`extract_edxorg_courserun_metadata()`, temporary files such as `course_xml_blocks_file`,
`static_assets_file`, and `static_manifest_file` are created without being enclosed in a
`try...finally` block. If an exception is raised during subsequent I/O operations (e.g.,
writing with `jsonlines` or creating a `tarfile`) after file creation but before the
file is yielded, the cleanup logic is bypassed. This results in temporary files being
left on the filesystem, which can accumulate with each failed asset materialization and
eventually exhaust disk space.

…essing

Wrap the full generator body of extract_edxorg_courserun_metadata() and
extract_courserun_details() in try...finally blocks. All NamedTemporaryFile
paths are tracked in a temp_files list and unconditionally unlinked in the
finally clause, ensuring no orphaned files accumulate on disk when an
exception is raised mid-materialization.
