Arizona State University - CSE 205 - VS Code Assignment Boilerplate (Windows)

A boilerplate layout for CSE 205 console application assignments that allows for Windows users to easily automate test cases.

NOTE: You can delete the .gitignore file in the bin, src, and test directories. They are only included so that git will allow for these directories to be pushed, as empty directories are otherwise ignored.

NOTE: If you are running a UNIX-like system (macOS, WSL/Cygwin/MinGW, pretty much any Linux distro) you can use this version of the template here.

Requirements

• Extension Pack for Java

Directions to set up automated test cases in VS Code manually

src folder

• Create a src folder, all .java files will be placed here

bin folder

• Create a bin folder, this folder will contain the compiled .class file(s).
• If your extensions are working correctly, you should observe this file be populated with the class files for your program automatically after configuring settings.json.

test folder

• Create a test folder and place all the given input an output text files in here
• Your program's actual output will also be written to "myoutput" text files in this folder for comparison

test.ps1 file

• in the test.ps1 file, paste this code:

$name = $args[0]
$numTests = $args[1]

for($i = 1; $i -le $numTests; $i++) {
    if((Test-Path -Path test\input$i.txt -PathType Leaf) -and (Test-Path -Path test\output$i.txt -PathType Leaf)) {
        Write-Output "Testing Case $i"
        Get-Content test\input$i.txt | java -cp bin $name | Out-File -Encoding utf8 test\myoutput$i.txt
        if(Compare-Object -CaseSensitive (Get-Content test\myoutput$i.txt) (Get-Content test\output$i.txt)) {
            Write-Warning "Test Case $i Failed"
            code --diff test\myoutput$i.txt test\output$i.txt
        }
    } else {
        Write-Warning "Failed to locate files for Test Case $i, ensure both input$i.txt and output$i.txt are present in the test directory"
    }
}

.vscode Folder

• If you don't already have a .vscode directory, create one.
• Create these two files if they don't exist already and set their contents to this:

1. settings.json

{
  "java.project.sourcePaths": ["src"], // Source code
  "java.project.outputPath": "bin" // Build output
}

2. tasks.json

{
  "version": "2.0.0",
  "tasks": [
    {
      "label": "Run Tests",
      "type": "shell",
      "command": ".\\test.ps1 ${fileBasenameNoExtension} ${input:numTests}",
      "problemMatcher": [],
      "group": {
        "kind": "build",
        "isDefault": true
      }
    }
  ],
  "inputs": [
    {
      "id": "numTests",
      "type": "promptString",
      "default": "4",
      "description": "Number of test cases"
    }
  ]
}
