Rayage Implementation Details

rayage

Front End:
    Run tests functionality (we can run every time they hit run)
        Test output tab has a line for every line in the reference
        Modify the html in static/custom/templates/Rayage.html to mess with test output contents
        Run sends a message to server 'run_project_request'. We can hook off of that message handler to run the tests as well
    Submit assignment
        message to server: "submit_assigment"
    Display feedback from professor/grader and state of files at submit-time
        Codemirror: get the codemirror (editor) instance associated with the filename. codemirrorinstance.add_line_widget(comment)
        See example with build errors.
       
Back End:
    Submit Assignment
        precompute the JSON object representing a submission, throw it in a folder, return it when the click the radio button.
        This can be where we store professor comments (and even grades)        
    Commenting
        Professors, TAs can 'pretend' to be students -- see test output, code. They should be able to mess with the code, but somehow revert to the submission.
        We need a 'comment' button on each line to add line-by-line feedback
    Test-script uploads
        copy the upload template functionality. Test are associated with a particular assignment, so access this from the manage assigments pane.
        Tests have a pair: test_name.in, test_name.ref. Both must be present to run a test case.
