check1340

Run all test cases available for a problem with a single command. For ENGG1340/COMP2113 students (22-23 spring).

Avoid the hassle of running each test case one by one and comparing the output with the expected output. This script does it all for you.

Prerequisite

Any shell

Tested to work on zsh 5.9 (x86_64-apple-darwin23.0)

Should work on bash shell too

Setup

1. Download check.sh sync.sh and put them in the folder containing all your assignments. The folder structure should look like this:

   folder-containing-all-assignments
   ├── A1_files
   │   ├── Q1
   │   ├── Q2
   │   └── Q3
   ├── A2_files
   │   ├── Q1
   │   ├── Q2
   │   └── Q3
   ├── A3_files
   │   ├── Q1
   │   └── Q2
   ├── check.sh <- here
   └── sync.sh <- here
   

   Via curl (navigate to folder-containing-all-assignments first):

   curl -o check.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kennethkn/check1340/main/check.sh
   curl -o sync.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kennethkn/check1340/main/sync.sh

2. Grant permissions with:

   chmod u+x check.sh
   chmod u+x sync.sh

3. Run sync.sh to deploy check.sh to every problem folder

   ./sync.sh

4. For programs that use arguments for input, enter the arguments for each test case accordingly in check.sh, as demostrated below:

   args=(
       "abc t1.txt t2.txt t3.txt"   # arguments for test case 1
       "ab t1.txt t2.txt t3.txt"    # arguments for test case 2
       "he t3.txt t4.txt t5.txt"    # arguments for test case 3
       ...
   )

Usage

./check.sh [-v]

-v  OPTIONAL. Show the output of diff.
