Description

As a logged-in user with permission to edit learning paths:

  • http://localhost:8063/api/v1/learningpaths/ returns all paths (published + unpublished)
  • http://localhost:8063/api/v1/learning_resource/resource_type=learning_path returns only published paths

I would expect the results to be the same.

For context: It seems most convenient on the frontend to just use the unified API /learning_resource API, which is how I came across this.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the authenticated responses from /api/v1/learningpaths/ and /api/v1/learning_resource/resource_type=learning_path, then locate the handlers for both endpoints. Trace how edit permission and published status are applied, and verify that both endpoints return the intended matching set of learning paths.
