Progressor - The Programming Professor

progressormeteor's Issues

Enhance categories with a basic explanation, introduction to the topic

E.g. Arrays needs to be explained with the language specific functions what an array can do.

Export/Import functionality per Exercise

To make sure uses can save their exercises for later uses and to make it possible to exchange exercises between different instances of the platform we need an export on the level of an exercise.

Not sure if there is a unique Exercise ID? This would be use full if an exercises is imported again on the same platform, to propose it as an update and not have a duplicate.

Also the unique IDs generated by Meteor should be globally unique, so no need to try to come up with something more clever.

Specify import export in detail

#20

License

Which license would you prefer @hudrima1 @StrubT @l00mi ? Do you have academic constraints wrt to license choice?

This point is crucial and should be resolved before making the repo publicly available. The best options are:

• MIT (more liberties)
• Apache (more liberties)
• GPL (more restrictions)
• AGPL (extremely restrictive)

depending on what you want people to be able to do with Progressor.

Introduce memory limits to Docker containers

Tabs in Python exercises

With tab characters in Python exercises, you often get the error message "Inconsistent use of tabs ...". Can we replace tabs by spaces?

Email verification message is always sent in English

Send the email verification message in the user's selected language.

Workflow: follow git flow

• Git flow is documented at http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/
• https://github.com/nvie/gitflow is a nice tool to abstract common operations

Todo

As soon as we have a working deployment again:

1. Tag the commit as v1.0.0
2. Create a branch dev based on master
3. Setup the github repo default branch to be dev instead of master
4. Start working on dev and not on master anymore

Allow to change category & release in one step

Remove fragment offset from Python & VB.NET

Executor: try to move $CustomCode$ to first line in templates
Meteor: need to adjust application-constants accordingly
https://pm.ti.bfh.ch/issues/2518

Enhance language description with links to free-books

A short link to the programming language in the correct spoken language in the description of the language?

https://github.com/vhf/free-programming-books

e.g.

C++ english
C++ deutsch

Deleted exercises

It is possible to delete exercises, but they will not be removed from the "My Created Exercises" list.
I can also open this removed exercises.
When I want to edit them, a Window will be opened with the message "HTTP (Not Found)".

Show generated code

https://pm.ti.bfh.ch/issues/2507

Minipage for project progressor.github.io

Enable to provide the Test Cases of an Exercise as a csv file

Translation to French

@vhf, you offered to translate the application to French.
You will have to copy the texts from lib/locales/en.js to lib/locales/fr.js and translate them.
In addition, it would be great if you could also translate server/example-data.js.

I marked all the instances with TODO: translate.

Rearange the README.md

I feel that there is a bit to much of less important info on the README.md.

This should basically give an overview of what this project does (best with a screenshot or two) and point to the other infos.

Lint the whole codebase

1. Add linting and fix codestyle - https://guide.meteor.com/code-style.html#eslint-installing
2. Add an .editorconfig
3. Decouple the project from WebStorm

I'll take care of this through a PR.

Explain project on entry page

Exercise subscription security

Improve security for examination exercise subscriptions. (implement TODOs)
https://pm.ti.bfh.ch/issues/2511

Show the average solve time

Show the avarerage time a user needed to solve an examination exercise in examination/template/edit.

Please can you also prepare an it, es, ru, ar, zh version for this?

List of all exercises for Admin

OpenSourcing Communication

Short action plan regarding open-sourcing:

• Announce on Twitter Account
• Make an test Instance where people can play around and which can break if necessary
• Ask for specific help on topics
• Manage incoming questions
• Change "comming soon" in upcoming box on front page with link to GitHub.

Document how to become admin.

Fragments of previous exercise is loaded in programming\edit

C/C++ is not a programming language

Cf. https://github.com/StrubT/ProgressorMeteor/blob/319667ec2e7f0ee2331c8d09578a4a56cc62283f/lib/locales/en.js#L264

I think it's confusing to present C/C++ as a programming language. I understand that Progressor might use the same compiler for both languages, but presenting them as a single language is confusing at best.

duplicate exercises in prod

• delete new categories

• add new properties to old categories

• add new properties to old exercises

• delete duplicate exercises

Change wording

By the way, I would suggest to rename this label to:

• "logout other users" in case you are talking about other users
• "logout other sessions" in case you are talking about other sesstions of this user
  "clients" is ambiguos.

Fix 'sticky tooltips'

https://pm.ti.bfh.ch/issues/2525

C++ while loop on the blacklist

It is not possible to create exercises with the while() loop, because it is on the blacklist.
As a result of this, the code is not executable.

Improve Blacklisting (probably with Syntax check)

Improvent based on #16

Spanish as 4th language?

I learn Spanish right now and got aware that Spanish is the second most spoken language on earth.
Because the multi-language feature is one of the most important advantages over competitors I want to ask how much effort it needs to add a 4th tab for the Spanish translation.

servers are up and running, they somehow booted into an emergency mode

please close if working for you

Promoting user to Admin does not work

Neither with exact name nor exact email address I was able to promote a user to Admin.

Missed translation labels

There are some labels that have not been added to the translation:

• http://147.87.116.183/examination/template/create
  Duration (min)
• http://147.87.116.183/account?state=signUp
  Start Time Duration
• http://147.87.116.183/account?state=signIn
  Email
  Verification email lost? Send again
• http://147.87.116.183/account?state=signUp
  Email

2nd bug with illegal terms

How to reproduce: Create an illegal term e.g. in the Python CreditCardIsOK exercise.
If you press [Save] the code disappears. The code got saved and you have to leave the edit mode and reenter again.

Show which language to use.

If you do "language surfing" it might easily be that you forget which language you should code if you are on this screen (e.g.): http://progressor.ti.bfh.ch/exercise/Ra5DprHEfws2jBJSv

Might be a hint if hovering over "Solution Code" or in parentheses at the right of "Solution Code"

JS: Array, Set & Map equality

As mentioned by in PR #10, JavaScript equality comparison for Arrays, Sets & Maps is wrong.

Show 'examination not started' page

Add a page to show for an examination not yet started.
Log the users who accesses this page.

Migrate issues from pm.ti.bfh.ch to github

Advanced Executor handling

Handle Executor instances on a per-language basis. (Some Executors may not support all languages)
Use the same Executor instance for a specific exercise. (Executors may not be configured equivalently: language version, compiler, etc.; may be a bad idea as it is confusing to users)
https://pm.ti.bfh.ch/issues/2519

C++ exercises and the last 2 of 3 are invalid

Mentionend by luav:

They are Java code, not C++:
http://progressor.ti.bfh.ch/exercise/99yLgZmvswCof2Kpz (jojavova):
C++ does not have public visibility specifiers for non-member functions and does not have "String" type (std::string can be used).

http://progressor.ti.bfh.ch/exercise/ofDwr7Bhpn5Zx5NxJ (Creditcard is valid)
The same issue with "public". Also C++ does not have "boolean" type (bool should be used).

So the provided mockups can't be compiled. They should be either moved to Java section or fixed.

Introduce free text hints

Idea: show hints after user entered a wrong answer for free text exercises.
May help users to better understand what they are expected to enter.
https://pm.ti.bfh.ch/issues/2520

Bug with illegal terms

How to reproduce: In the Python exercise creditCardIsOK change the OK by Valid and you can not anymore compile it because of the id in Valid.
I think blacklist words should be checked case sensitive and as full words only.
On the other hand black list words should be allowed in the language comments.

Lists and Vectors in C++

In the CreditCardIsValid exercise in C++ I used the list container for the input parameter.
In the implementation I used vector. I think the mapping of the argument types to the implementation types need more explanation.

Documentation

We need a nice README.md, a CONTRIBUTING.md and a LICENSE.

Reading the documentation should make the following straightforward:

• Installing all the dependencies locally and being able to make all tests pass
• Deploying the project in production
• …
