c4cs-autograders

An assortment of scripts to help manage autograding of assignments.

Working with the CLI

1. Grab the grade.py from an existing assignment
2. Implement get_test_cases_and_submissions, which must return test_cases and submissions. This gets injected into the cli.
3. grade.py is the entrypoint for cli.py. In your directory, call grade.py --help for more usage information.

Common tasks:

# grade everything in a given submissions file
# will clone but throw away the grades
$ ./grade.py grade --submissions ~/Downloads/c4cs-rpn-repos.csv 

# you really want to chain commands (write results.json and scores.csv):
$ ./grade.py grade -s ~/Downloads/c4cs-rpn-repos.csv write_results write_canvas print_stats

# you can also load the results back up from results.json:
$ ./grade.py load_results print_stats

# write emails but don't send
$ ./grade.py load_results write_emails \
    --assignment-name="Homework 10" \
    --total-points=4 \
    --regrade-date="April 7" \
    --autograder-link="https://google.com" \
    --dest="/tmp/hw10_emails"

# send the emails
$ ./grade.py send_emails \
    --loc="/tmp/hw10_emails" \
    --subject="[c4cs] HW10 Graded" \
    --smtp-username="mterwil" \
    --cc="[email protected]"

# and each command and subcommand has help
$ ./grade.py load_results --help

Creating a new autograder

The autograder.py script contains a collection of classes.

• Autograder takes in a list of TestCases and submissions which then individually get passed to TestCase.test by way of the TestRunner.
• TestCase returns a TestCaseResult.

Dependencies

Probably a lot of them... Sorry.
