Description

Proposal Date

14 December 2022

Target Ticket Acceptance Date

15 January 2023

Earliest Open edX Named Release Without This Functionality

Palm

Rationale

This code has been marked deprecated in the hosting file since 2020 with commit c962423bbc5011dabd8e7b314993802a1db646a5.

This work will require ensuring that all of the migration work to move calls to the eventracking app have been completed.

Removal

At least common/djangoapps/track/tracker.py should be removed. Any other code that was also deprecated when this functionality was extracted should also be removed.

Replacement

It's already been replaced by the eventtracking app.

Research direction

Start by reviewing common/djangoapps/track/tracker.py and the eventtracking app, then verify that migration of all callers is complete. Check the hosting file and related deprecated functionality for remaining code to remove. Done means tracker.py and any other code deprecated with this extraction are removed without leaving callers behind.
