CodeGra.fs 0.3.2

File-system for CodeGrade instances

CodeGra.fs

Installation

You can install this package using pip. At the moment this package is not yet in the pip repositories, however you can install it directly from git: sudo pip3 install git+https://github.com/CodeGra-de/CodeGra.fs.git. This installs two scripts, cgfs used to mount the file-system and cgapi-consumer used by editor plugins. You can also install cgfs by giving pip the --user flag, however make sure $HOME/.local/bin is in your $PATH in this case.

Please note that pip3 is used, this because CodeGra.fs only with works with python 3.5 or higher. It depends on:

• fusepy
• requests

Usage

The basic used of the cgfs can be viewed by executing cgfs --help. The idea behind cgfs is that you mount a CodeGra.de instance on you local computer, in the mounted folder you can now browse, alter and delete files submitted by yourself and people you have to grade.

The basic layout of the file-system is /course/assingment/submission - submission_time, so for example /datastructures/linked-list/Thomas Schaper - 2017-11-14T13:41:26.324712. All files that a student submitted can be found in the submission folder.

The file-system also contains a few special files, these are files that are not submitted by a student but can be used to control CodeGra.de. These files are validated on a close, which fails if the file format is not correct. The following special files exist:

Name	Editable1	Location	Use	Format
.api.socket	✗	Root	Location of the api socket	Single line with file location
.cg-mode	✗	Root	Mode file system	FIXED or NOT_FIXED
.cg-assignment-id	✗	Assignment	Id of this assignment	Single line with id
.cg-assignment-settings.ini	✓	Assignment	Settings for this assignment	Ini file with settings
.cg-edit-rubric.md	✓	Assignment	Rubric for this assignment, editing changes the rubric	See .cd-edit-rubric.help
.cg-edit-rubric.help	✗	Assignment	Help file for the rubric file	Plain text file
.cg-feedback	✓	Submission	The general feedback for this submission	Plain text file
.cg-grade	✓	Submission	The grade for this submission	Single float or empty to delete or reset2 the grade
.cg-rubric.md	✓3	Submission	The rubric for this submission	Markdown file where a ticked box means the item is selected.
.cg-submission-id	✗	Submission	Id of this submission	Single line with id

¹: Only if you have the correct permissions.

²: The grade is reset if a rubric grade is available, otherwise it is deleted.

³: Only markdown checkboxes should be changed.

It can happen that you didn't follow the exact format of the special file and can't easily recover anymore. This isn't a really big deal, you can write the string __RESET__ to any writable special file to reset it to its server state.

CodeGra.fs is best used in combination with an editor plugin, such plugins exist for emacs and atom and more are being created.
