Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have met the following requirements:

You have installed the latest version of Node.js.
You have installed the latest version of Google Chrome.
You have a Microsoft Account logged in on your chrome browser.
You have a stable internet connection.
You have a basic understanding of how to use the terminal.
You have enrolled in all the Microsoft Learning Challenges mentioned in the Microsoft Azure Challenge.pdf file.

Setup Instructions

This section provides instructions for setting up and running the project on a local machine.

Clone the Repository:

Clone this repository to your local machine using the following command:
```
git clone https://github.com/vishalx360/microsoft-learning-bot.git
```
Navigate to Project Directory:

Change to the project directory using the following command:
```
cd microsoft-learning-bot
```
Install Dependencies:

Install the project dependencies:
```
npm install
```
Start Browser session:

The browser session is required to be started in remote debugging mode. This can be done by running the following command:
```
google-chrome-stable --remote-debugging-port=9222
```
Make sure to close all existing browser windows before running this command.

Once the browser session is started, the command will return a message similar to the following:
```
DevTools listening on ws://127.0.0.1:9222/devtools/browser/5ce308e2-be56-4395-a07e-d7a96fafe785
```
The value after the last slash is the BROWSER_ID. This value will be used in the next step. Also make sure to choose the chrome profile which has the microsoft account logged in.
Configure Environment Variables:

Open the .env file and provide value for BROWSER_ID.

Your .env file should look something like this:
```
 BROWSER_ID=5ce308e2-be56-4395-a07e-d7a96fafe785
```
Replace the value of BROWSER_ID with the value you got in the previous step.
Start the Automation:

start the puppeteer browser automation by running the following command:
```
npm start
```

Your Browser will open multiple units and will complete the challenge for you. You can see the progress in the terminal. Once the challenge is completed, the browser will close automatically.

Known Missing Feature

Ideally the program should take challenge links (PDF) and credentials (env-var) as input and then enroll and complete all of them.

But Currently there is a prerequisite that you have to be enrolled in all the challenges mentioned in the Microsoft Azure Challenge.pdf file. This is because the bot does not have the capability to enroll in challenges.

challenge_links.json is a file, which contains the challenge links extracted from the Microsoft Azure Challenge.pdf file.

This file is generated by running the linkExtractor python script which takes a pdf file as second argument and generates the json file.
