myrpl-cli 1.0.0

A script to fetch and save course activities from myrpl.ar

myrpl-cli

myrpl-cli is a command-line interface tool for fetching and saving course activities from myrpl.ar.

What does it do?

• 🪨 Tired of copying and pasting your code between your IDE and RPL like a caveman?

  Well I've got the answer for you! Fetch your activities with myrpl fetch, solve them and upload them once with myrpl submit when you're done

• ⌛ Exhausted of waiting whole seconds for running tests that should take milliseconds?

  Well I've got the answer for you! Run your tests locally with myrpl test

• 💦 Got a thing for slick CLI tools?

  While myrpl can't help you with your fantasies, it can certainly make your workflow smoother and more enjoyable. 😏

🛠️ Installation

Install the package globally using pipx:

pipx install myrpl-cli

Now you can use the myrpl command! 🎉

📚 Usage

To use myrpl-cli, you need a bearer token for authentication. You can provide this token either as an environment variable (even within a .env file) or as a command-line argument.

1. 🔑 Logging In

Before fetching course activities, you need to log in and store your credentials securely. Use the login command:

myrpl login

This will prompt you for your username/email and password and store your credentials securely in an encrypted file. You'll also be asked for a passphrase to encrypt said file.🔒 NOTE: Each time you use myrpl you'll be prompted for the passphrase.

You can always overwrite the stored credentials by running the login command again

2. 🎓 Fetching course activities

First, cd into the directory where you want your courses and activities stored

To fetch activities for a specific course:

myrpl fetch <course_id>

This will create a file structure in the current working directory like follows:

./
├── courses/
├── {course 1}/
├── {category 1}/
│   ├── description.txt
│   ├── {activity 1}/
│   │   ├── description.md
│   │   ├── unit_test.py
│   │   └── main.py
│   ├── {activity 2}/
┊   ┊

3. 🧑‍💻 Getting some actual work done

• cd into any activity
• Launch your IDE of choice. eg.: code . for VS Code
• You can see the activity's description, initial code and unit tests
• Write your code and run the tests using myrpl test or just pytest

🛡️ (Optional) Setting up the bearer token

Option 1: Set an environment variable

export MYRPL_BEARER_TOKEN=your_bearer_token_here

Option 2: Provide the token as a command-line argument (see examples below)

❓ Getting help

For general help:

myrpl --help

For help with the a specific command:

myrpl <command> --help

👩‍💻👨‍💻 Development

To set up the development environment:

1. Install all dependencies

poetry install

1. And pre-commit hooks:

pre-commit install

1. Activate the virtual environment:

poetry shell

1. Off you go! 🚀

🧪 Tests

Use pytest to run the project's tests

Use act for running the github workflow locally

📝✅ Linting & Formatting

I chose ruff for linting + formatting

PD: I use the Ruff VS Code extension, but you do you

🗺️ Roadmap

• [x] Implement basic authentication functionality
• [x] Fetch course activities
• [x] Store credentials securely for reuse
• [x] Fetch latest submission
• [ ] Implement hidden file .pyc download via submission abuse (branch: feature/hidden_file_decompilation)
• [ ] Implement hidden file decompilation for python version agnostic test execution
• [ ] Implement activity submission (myrpl submit)
• [ ] Implement course/category/activity progress (myrpl status)
• [ ] Remove annoying keyring passphrase
• [ ] Enhance test coverage
• [ ] VS Code extension (?)
• [ ] Add support for additional programming languages (idk if actually necessary)

Please note that this roadmap is subject to change and may be updated based on user feedback and my own time 😁

How does myrpl-cli fetch hidden files and decompiles them? (incoming feature)

I ran into a problem where I couldn't run a unit_test because the "grafo" library was missing.

So, what could I do?

I started trying to get the content of the grafo library, obviously

I ended up with this code snippet, which I ran on myrpl.ar:

import grafo
import base64


def vertex_cover_min(_):
	print("#startgrafocontent")
	with open(grafo.__file__, "rb") as gf:
		content = gf.read()
		encoded_content = base64.b64encode(content).decode("utf-8")
		print(encoded_content)
	print("#endgrafocontent")

	return []

In the future this can be easily automated with the submission API

This ends up spitting into the submission's stdout the base64 encoded contents of the grafo.pyc file.

From there I could easily import the Grafo class into python. But, .pyc files are python version specific, so I could only run them inside Python 3.10.0. Boooringg

So, time to decompile 😈

I finally found pycdc, which unfortunately has to be make compiled (that'll make things harder when integrating with myrpl-cli later on)

pycdc then spat the following to stdout:

# Source Generated with Decompyle++
# File: grafo.pyc (Python 3.10)


class Grafo:
	def __init__(self, es_dirigido, vertices_init=(False, [])):
		self.vertices = {}
		for v in vertices_init:
			self.vertices[v] = {}
		self.es_dirigido = es_dirigido

	def __contains__(self, v):
		return v in self.vertices


# and so on...

So, now comes the time to integrate this into myrpl-cli, which poses a challenge in itself.

It's actually 'My RPL' backwards. No, wait...
