✅ Workaround

As, explained in https://github.com/learningequality/kolibri/issues/5519#issuecomment-495805834, this error might appear if the “Allow users to access content without signing in” setting is unchecked on the facility/#/settings page.

The current workaround is to uncheck that box and save the settings. (This will have the possibly unwanted result that people can explore content as a “guest”).

“do you by any chance have the “Allow users to access content without signing in” box unchecked on the /facility/#/settings page?”

That is correct. Import stage is now working.

Thanks

Thanks, that was helpful!

I have a theory… do you by any chance have the “Allow users to access content without signing in” box unchecked on the /facility/#/settings page?

The following middleware prevents that endpoint from being accessed when not authenticated: https://github.com/learningequality/kolibri/blob/release-v0.12.x/kolibri/core/middleware/signin_page.py#L34

I suggest we update the middleware to be a blacklist (of /learn/) rather than a whitelist, since there will otherwise likely be additional things that break when that setting is toggled.

(In the interim, until this is fixed, you can toggle that box back on when syncing content)
