This update brings the application to a more modern stack with Long-Term Support (LTS) versions of Django and a recent Python version.
Key changes include:
- Upgraded Django from 1.11 to 4.2.x in `requirements.txt`.
- Replaced `django-celery` with the modern `celery[django]` package (Celery 5.3.x).
- Updated various dependencies in `requirements.txt` for compatibility.
- Specified Python 3.9 for the Elastic Beanstalk environment via a `runtime.txt` file.
- Addressed compatibility issues in Django settings:
- Updated Celery configuration (`CELERY_RESULT_BACKEND`, `CELERY_BEAT_SCHEDULER`).
- Added `django_celery_beat` and `django_celery_results` to `INSTALLED_APPS`.
- Updated `urls.py` to use `re_path` instead of `url`.
- Updated Celery app initialization in `_celery.py` and `__init__.py`.
- Made the `createsu` management command in Elastic Beanstalk configuration (`.ebextensions/03_django.config`) more robust by allowing it to fail without stopping deployment (e.g., if superuser already exists).
- Added basic unit tests:
- Test for admin login page accessibility.
- Tests for Celery task import, callability, and basic execution.
The `awsebcli` and some of its direct dependencies were kept at older versions due to difficulties in upgrading them alongside other changes. Further work may be needed to modernize those if required.
