Plugin: Allowed Registration Email Patterns

Tutor
1

Hi,
I want to allow specific emails for registration. I tried to write a plugin following opnedx documentation. Now, When I list the plugin, it shows on the list. When I enable the plugin, it successfully enabled. After enabling the plugin, tutor config save works but tutor local quickstart gives some error and tutor failed to start.
The plugin:

name: allowmail
version: 0.1
patches:
  common-env-features: |
    "REGISTRATION_EMAIL_PATTERNS_ALLOWED" = [
   "^.*@(.*\\.)?example\\.com$",
   "(^\\w+\\.\\w+)@school\\.tld$"
   ]

tutor local quickstart error:

       Traceback (most recent call last):

      obj, end = self.scan_once(s, idx)
      ValueError: Expecting : delimiter: line 9 column 43 (char 264)

Can anyone help me solve this problem?
Thanks

You are patching a json file. Thus, the X = "value" syntax is incorrect. You should have instead X: "value". Hence the syntax error you are facing. The correct syntax should probably be:

name: allowmail
version: 0.1
patches:
  common-env-features: |
    "REGISTRATION_EMAIL_PATTERNS_ALLOWED": [
   "^.*@(.*\\.)?example\\.com$",
   "(^\\w+\\.\\w+)@school\\.tld$"
   ]

Thanks for your reply. I figured it out last night. But I replaced openedx-common-settings with common-env-features.
