Implements a session waiting room feature that allows students to express interest in upcoming sessions of a course after a session has ended. The implementation extends the existing WaitingRoom model rather than creating a duplicate model.

Changes Made

Model Refactor

  • Extended existing WaitingRoom model to support both use cases:
    • Waiting for new courses to be created on specific subjects/topics (original functionality)
    • Waiting for the next session of an existing course (new functionality)
  • Added optional course field to link to existing courses
  • Made title, subject, topics, creator fields optional (only required for new course requests)
  • Added get_next_session() method to retrieve the next upcoming session
  • Added close_waiting_room() method for managing waiting room status

Views & Templates

  • Added join_session_waiting_room view for users to join the waiting room
  • Added leave_session_waiting_room view for users to leave the waiting room
  • Updated session detail view to show waiting room UI when a session has ended
  • Conditional messaging based on whether a next session exists

Testing

  • Added comprehensive test suite covering:
    • Model functionality and methods
    • View permissions and authentication
    • Join/leave workflow
    • Session context with waiting room data
    • Edge cases and error handling

Database Migration

  • Migration 0062_update_waitingroom_for_sessions.py updates the WaitingRoom model with new fields and constraints

Features

  • Smart Session Detection: Automatically detects when a session has ended (end_time < now)
  • Next Session Awareness: Shows information about upcoming sessions in the same course
  • Waiting Room Management: Users can join/leave waiting rooms for the next session
  • Conditional UI: Different messaging based on whether a next session exists
  • Security Integration: Properly integrated with existing authentication and enrollment systems

Testing

  • ✅ All 7 session waiting room tests pass
  • ✅ All 216 total tests pass
  • ✅ All linting checks pass (black, isort, flake8, djlint)
  • ✅ Migration successfully created and applied

This implementation provides a seamless way for students to express continued interest in a course after a session has concluded, helping instructors gauge demand for future sessions while reusing existing infrastructure.

Fixes #645.

These methods appear to belong to the WaitingRoom class but are incorrectly placed after the SessionWaitingRoom class definition. They should be moved back to their proper location within the WaitingRoom class.

This query is executed for every authenticated user viewing a session detail, even when the session hasn't ended. Consider moving this query inside the condition that checks if the session has ended to avoid unnecessary database queries.

Suggested change
# Get the next upcoming session for this course
next_session = session.course.sessions.filter(start_time__gt=timezone.now()).order_by('start_time').first()
# Only get the next session if the current session has ended
next_session = None
if timezone.now() > session.end_time:
next_session = session.course.sessions.filter(start_time__gt=timezone.now()).order_by('start_time').first()

[nitpick] The date formatting string should be consistent with other parts of the application. Consider using Django's date formatting utilities or defining a constant for the date format to ensure consistency across the codebase.

The unique_together constraint should use a tuple instead of a list for single field constraints. Consider using unique_together = ('course',) or better yet, add unique=True to the course field directly.

Suggested change
unique_together = ["course"] # Only one waiting room per course
unique_together = ('course',) # Only one waiting room per course

@copilot refactor this to use existing waiting room model

Refactored to use existing WaitingRoom model in commit {commit_hash}.

Changes:

  • Extended WaitingRoom model with optional course field for waiting for next session of existing courses
  • Made fields like title, subject, topics, creator optional (only needed for new course requests)
  • Removed duplicate SessionWaitingRoom model entirely
  • Updated all views and tests to use WaitingRoom
  • The same model now handles both use cases:
    1. Waiting for a new course to be created (original functionality)
    2. Waiting for the next session of an existing course (new functionality)

All 7 tests pass successfully.
