Fixes #859
Fixes #718
Motive:
The reasoning behind the changes made in this pull request was as follows:
UDOIT currently does not show progress updates on the scanning process, and the scanning process sometimes takes upwards of 40 seconds, meaning that users could interpret the behavior as unresponsive and reload the page if the course is too large.
Heroku times out a process after 30 seconds of loading, which makes it impossible to scan large courses. As such, the refactoring of the scanning process as a worker process will allow for the scanning of larger courses.
How the scanning process worked:
/api/sync/{course}
and the controller then would call therefreshLmsContent
method atLmsFetchService.php
, which would then commence the scanning process. Finally, the controller would send back an updated version of the report.What changed:
