Intro

jutge_cli is a python3 console application that aims to automate common tasks when working with jutge.org problems. Those tasks include:

• Creating new files named after problem title given the problem code
• Displaying statement and public test cases of a given problem
• Compiling and testing a program against public test cases
• Uploading program solutions to jutge.org
• Checking jutge.org results for last submissions or for a specific problem.
• Adding ant testing against custom test cases to a problem
• Batch uploading problems from a given problem set
• Batch creating new files of a given problem set
• Extract and rename problem solutions from a jutge.org zip file export to a specific folder.

Installation

jutge_cli is included in pypi and as such, it can be installed through pip3.

Global installation (root)

To install python module run:

sudo pip3 install jutge_cli

This should install all dependencies and create an executable named jutge in /usr/bin/jutge.

Archlinux PKGBUILD

There is also a PKGBUILD included in the repository for arch linux users.

Installation using virtualenv (no root)

You can install this program inside of a python3 virtualenv:

virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3 jutge_cli_venv && cd jutge_cli_venv
source bin/activate
pip3 install jutge_cli

Once the above commands complete successfully, the jutge will be installed inside the bin folder of the virtualenv. It is recommended to link it to the user bin folder and add it to your $PATH.

mkdir ~/bin
ln -s bin/jutge ~/bin/jutge

Remember to add bin to your path by adding the following line to .bashrc or equivalent:

export PATH=$PATH:~/bin

Usage

To use jutge_cli run the command jutge followed by the subcommand you want to execute:

jutge [SUBCOMMAND] [SUBCOMMAND_OPTIONS]

For the program to work you will have to either specify the code of the problem you want to test (-c flag) or rename the program file so that it begins with the code. The code must match the following regular expression: [PGQX]\d{5}_(ca|en|es) (note that the code includes the language although it is not mandatory).

Configuration

You can configure default parameters through the YAML configuration file: ~/.jutge_cli.yaml.

Basic options

The following example lists all the basic options and their default values:

database : ~/Documents/jutge/DB
regex : '[PGQX]\d{5}_(ca|en|es)'
diff-prog : diff
diff-flags : -y
inp-suffix : inp
cor-suffix : cor
folder : ~/Documents/jutge/Done

Those options can also be specified using the flags with the same name.

Although you can change the regex it is not recommended to do so since bad regex may break correct functionality.

Problem sets

You can also add problem sets with the problem_sets group. These will make the commands new, archive and update classify problems into folders:

problem_sets:
    P1: [P19724, P34279, P37297, P37469, P42042, P51126, P51352, P61634, P66529, P67171, P70955, P82374, P89265, P92351, P98960, P99182, X54725, X59678, X64734, X89070]
    P2: [P27341, P28754, P29448, P32046, P34451, P35547, P37500, P55622, P59539, P59875, P60816, P64976, P65171, P74398, P79784, P85370, P97156, X30229, X32391, X80452]
    P3: [P13623, P19991, P29973, P32533, P61061, P79817, P80660, P87323, P96767, X01646, X08783, X26853, X29759, X59091, X84338, X98097]

The above configuration file will save problems P19724, P34279... into folder P1, problems P27341, P28754... into P2 and so on.

Login credentials

You can also provide login credentials in the configuration file inside the group login:

login:
    email: [email protected]
    password: mypassword

You can omit either email, password or both and the login command will prompt the user for input when issued.

Authenticate to jutge

To upload problem solutions or to access private problems (the ones which code starts with X) you must be logged in into jutge.org. The preferred method to login is through the jutge login command although there are 2 more methods involving cookies.

login command

Issuing the command jutge login will prompt the user for their email and password and save the session cookie for next use. If email or password are already provided in Login credentials it will not prompt the user to input them. For more details on the command see login

cookie command

The command jutge cookie accepts a cookie as a parameter and will store it for next use. For more details on the command see cookie

cookie flag

You can also explicitly provide a cookie to each subcommand call through the --cookie flag:

jutge --cookie MY_COOKIE download -c X00000

Global flags

Most of the flags depend on the subcommands, but there are some global flags that effect all subcommands. Those are:

• --regex MY_REGEX regular expression used to extract codes from filenames
• --cookie MY_COOKIE Cookie used to connect to jutge.org
• --database FOLDER Change database location
• --no-download If this flag is provided, jutge_cli will not attempt to connect to the internet

Commands

1. add-test (add)
2. archive
3. check
4. cookie
5. download (down)
6. login
7. new
8. show
9. test
10. import
11. upload (up)

add-test (add)

This command adds a custom test case into the database. A test case consists of two files, the input that will be feed to the program and the expected output or solution. Those files can be provided through the flags -i (input) and -o (expected output) or if omitted the user will be prompted to input them manually through stdin.

The following example will add the contents of files inp and cor to the database as test cases for the problem P00001_ca

# Add the contents of inp and cor to the database for problem P00001_ca:
jutge add-test -i inp -o cor P00001_ca_prog.cpp

# Prompt the user to enter the input and expected output and add them to
# the database for problem P00001_ca:
jutge add-test P00001_ca_prog.cpp

archive

Move problem file to the archive folder. This folder can be changed through the -f flag. To overwrite files already in the folder use the --overwrite flag.

The default behaviour is to move the file to the folder, if you want to copy it instead use the --copy flag.

The following example will move the file P00001_ca_prog.cpp to the folder Accepted and overwrite if already in the folder.

jutge archive --folder Accepted/ P00001_ca_prog.cpp --overwrite

check

Checks submissions to jutge.org and displays them in the terminal. The program will return 0 if the last submission's verdict is AC or 100/100 and 1 otherwise.

This subcommand accepts 3 flags:

• --last show only the last submission
• --reverse order the output so that the last submission is on top
• --code check if a given problem code is accepted, rejected or not done yet

cookie

Add cookie provided as first argument to a temporary directory so it is used for next commands. If the first argument is delete the current cookie will be deleted and if the argument is print or show it will output the current saved cookie.

The command will check that the provided cookie is valid before saving the value, to skip this check use the flag --skip-check.

download (down)

This command will attempt to download the html page and zip file corresponding to the given problem from jutge.org and add them to the database. Either a code flag (-c) or a program file (-p) must be provided.

Note that other commands that depend on the database files will automatically try to download them if they don't exist and therefore this command is only useful when populating the database in advance.

The following example will populate the local database for problem P00001_en:

jutge download P00001_en

login

Prompt the user to input their credentials and login to jutge.org. If credentials are already specified in the configuration file (Login credentials) it will not prompt for them.

The flags --email and --password can be used to specify the credentials without prompting and to override the ones specified in the configuration file.

new

This command must be followed by a code. It will fetch the problem title from the code and create a new file whose name is the code followed by the title. The --extension or -e flag can be used to specify the extension of the file (defaults to cpp).

If flag --problem-set is provided, all programs in the specified problem set will be created inside a folder named after the problem set.

The following example will populate create a new python file named P87523_ca_-_Hola-adéu.py

jutge new P87523_ca --extension py

show

This command provides 3 sub commands to print information about the problem. Those are:

• title print problem title
• stat print statement
• cases print test cases in database

By default stat will parse the problem statement through pypandoc to optimize the output for terminal if you prefer raw HTML or pypandoc takes to much time to parse the output you can use the flag --html.

The following example will print all cases in the database for the problem P87523_ca (if any).

jutge show cases P87523_ca

test

This is the most useful command in the tool set. It allows to test your code against all the test cases found in the database and output side by side differences using diff.

The command takes a file that can be either an executable or source file or script of a supported language executable file as parameter and tests it against the test cases in the database folder. Note that if the program if a source file that needs to be compiled, jutge_cli will compile it to a file named after the original name with extension .x.

You can specify an other program to act as diff (such as colordiff) and its flags (separated by commas) through --diff-prog and --diff-flags.

The following example will test the executable P87523_ca_prog.x against the test cases for problem P87523_ca. The expected output and the output of the program will be shown side by side using colordiff.

jutge test P87523_ca_prog.x --diff-prog colordiff

import

This command extracts all accepted submissions from a jutge.org zip file, renames them according to their title and adds them to the archive folder that can be specified through the -f flag or in the main configuration file. Note that the zip file must be the one downloaded from your jutge.org profile.

jutge import problems.zip

upload (up)

This command uploads a file to jutge.org to be evaluated. Note that you must have a valid cookie previously saved by jutge cookie PHPSSID or you can provide it through the --cookie flag. As of now, the program cannot report if the upload was successful so you will have to check your submissions page manually. The compiler to use will be determined by the filename extension but you can specify another one through the --compiler flag.

jutge upload P00001_ca_prog.cpp --compiler 'G++'

If the flag --problem-set the command will upload all problems from the specified set found in the current working directory or in the set folder in the current working directory. (Keep in mind that jutge.org limits the number of submissions to 20 per hour so it is discouraged to use this flag with large problem sets)

By default upload will test all problems against public test cases in the database (not including custom ones). You can skip those checks with the flag --skip-test

If you want to check the submitted problem verdict directly after upload, use the flag --check which will wait for the judge verdict and output it.
