"Unable to load XBlock" error

[emanueleferrara]

Hi @regis,
I’m the same issue but for another xblock called Xblock-video

When I did:

echo " git+https://github.com/appsembler/xblock-video.git@dev#egg=video_xblock " >> "$(tutor config printroot)/env/build/openedx/requirements/private.txt"

And after:

tutor images build openedx

The output was

Unable to load XBlock 'video_xblock'

So, Xblock-video is unable

How can I fix it?

Thanks

(@emanueleferrara I moved your question to a separate topic, because it has nothing to do with that other one.)

The Video XBlock depends on version 1.3.1 of the XBlock package, while edx-platform requires version 1.4.0 in the Lilac release (see source code).

In other words: the Video XBlock is not compatible with the Lilac release. The last release that depended on version 1.3.1 of the XBlock package is Juniper. So the Video XBlock is late by at least two releases.

I suggest that you get in touch with the maintainers of the video xblock directly.
