A command line tool for competitive programming

CoolKit

CoolKit is Coding + ToolKit, A command-line tool used to automate your programming experience.

Installation

Install using pip

• Use pip to install, user --user flag

sudo python3 -m pip install coolkit

Build from Source

• Clone the repository and checkout to stable commit

git clone https://github.com/srbcheema1/CoolKit
cd CoolKit
git checkout <latest_version say: v0.0.x>

• install requirements

python3 -m pip install --user -r requirements.txt

• Install CoolKit

python3 setup.py install --user

Verify installation

• check for working

coolkit --help

• if it displays help message you are ready to go.

troubleshooting

• In case coolkit -h is not working, ensure that binary path is in PATH. Add line export PATH=$PATH:"~/.local/bin" in your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc.

• bash users run these commands

echo export PATH="$PATH":"~/.local/bin" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

• zsh users run these commands

echo export PATH="$PATH":"~/.local/bin" >> ~/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc

Make it more smart

• Highly Recommended to use this feature to harness the full potential of coolkit
• you can make your coolkit to autodetect your contest and problem from your nomenclature of files and directories.
• to do so you will need to redefine get_contest_name and get_problem_name in ~/.config/coolkit/global_config.py.
• you may define your own functions or use pre-build functions by uncommenting these lines:

# return srb_contest_name(folder)
# return srb_problem_name(file_name)

• feel free to ping me on [e-mail] to make a global_config.py file for you as per your nomenclature.

Usage

srb@srb-pc:$ coolkit --help
usage: Coolkit [-h] [-v] {init,set,run,submit,fetch,config,view} ...

positional arguments:
  {init,set,run,submit,fetch,config,view}

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -v, --version         display version number

suboptions are:
    init        initilize a directory as coolkit directory
    set         set value of coolkit variables.
    config      set config values like username, password.
    fetch       fetch a contest to use it for offline testing.
    run         run a code file against provided testcases
    submit      submit a code to online judge. and output the verdict.
    view        view a user, contest, problem, friends-standings or upcoming contest

Examples

init

init an empty repository

srb@srb-pc:$ coolkit init

set

set value of coolkit-variables for contest, prob, site, contest-type

srb@srb-pc:$ coolkit set -c 535
srb@srb-pc:$ coolkit set -p A
srb@srb-pc:$ coolkit set -t gym

config

set value of global configuration variables like username, password

srb@srb-pc:$ coolkit config --user srbcheema1
srb@srb-pc:$ coolkit config --pswd I_wont_write_it_here_xD

fetch

fetch a contest, if you are standing in a coolkit folder then by default it will fetch a contest configured in that folder unless you provide using -c option. outside a coolkit repo it is necessary to provide contest name using -c

srb@srb-pc:$ coolkit fetch
srb@srb-pc:$ coolkit fetch -c 1025

run

run a problem against sample test cases. you can provide problem name using -p option, if you dont provide a problem name it will try to automatically detect the problem name using rules specified in ~/.config/coolkit/global_config.py. you can modify this file as you want. if it is unable to detect file name then it will try to remember last problem you ran and run the test cases against it.

srb@srb-pc:$ coolkit run one.cpp
Prob name not provided, trying to detect from filename
running one.cpp file for A prob on 837
srb@srb-pc:$ coolkit run soln.cpp
Prob name not provided, trying to detect from filename
Unable to detect prob name from file name

There is a cool new feature: you may add your own custom input/outputs to test against binary during run command. just add these to files to your present working directory Input.txt and Output.txt containing input and output respectively.

submit

Submit a file on online judge and show you report through desktop notification. it wont submit a file if it fails on local sample test cases. Still if you want to submit a file use -f flag

srb@srb-pc:$ coolkit submit one.cpp
srb@srb-pc:$ coolkit submit one.cpp -p A
srb@srb-pc:$ coolkit submit one.cpp -p A -f

view

srb@srb-pc:$ coolkit view user srbcheema1
srb@srb-pc:$ coolkit view prob A
srb@srb-pc:$ coolkit view contest 535
srb@srb-pc:$ coolkit view upcoming
srb@srb-pc:$ coolkit view friends
srb@srb-pc:$ coolkit view standings

Similar Tools

• It is worth it to mention few other tools that I was using from a year or so. I have really loved those tools and also used some of their modules/functions in this tool. Those tools are SpojPi, Acedit and Idne.

Note

• Coolkit is smart enough to detect a directory is coolkit repo or not. it automatically initilizes a directory as a coolkit directory in case it is not. Still I have provided init option. Its main purpose is to initilize a coolkit directory inside another coolkit directory. by default it will copy parent configurations for once which you can change lateron.
• Coolkit is smart enough to detect your program name from your filename. Have a look at get_problem_name in global_config.py file. you can suggest imporvements in that function.
• Coolkit is smart enough to detect your contest name from your directory name. Have a look at get_contest_name in global_config.py file. you can suggest imporvements in that function.
• To suggest me improvements you can open an issue, make an PR, mail me or contact me on links provided below. I am working to provide a flexible way for users to modify their own way of detection.
• In case of any bug/issue, Please report this to [e-mail]. Or, even better, submit a PR to fix it!
