Mini-moulinette

Mini-moulinette is a test runner for 42 assignments, providing automated tests for whole assignment with one command. The goal is to make thorough checking before submitting the assignments, with ease.

Introduction

This is now day 11 of piscine. I have wasted so many hours getting evaluated, doing evaluation, waiting for evaluation, only to come back redoing it again because I kept making silly mistakes. I wish I can check my code thoroughly before submitting, but that too, will take a lot of my time. This is why I build this so I can stop wasting my time and many others, and shut moulinette up with just a single submission.

How Does It Work?

• Mini moulinette runs through all the tests cases automatically, and checks if the test conditions are met.
• It will then output the result.
• The scores are based on 42's practice, where if easier/earlier questions are incorrect, the rest won't count.

Updating

Mini moulinette is updated daily, to update:

cd ~/mini-moulinette

git pull

Get Started

Warning Mini moulinette is not 100% accurate, the tests may not cover every edge cases like moulinette. Use with caution.

1. Go to your root ~ directory.

cd ~

2. Clone the git there.

git clone https://github.com/khairulhaaziq/mini-moulinette.git

3. Now create an alias for it.

• zsh:

echo "alias mini='~/mini-moulinette/mini-moul.sh'" >> ~/.zshrc && source ~/.zshrc

• bash:

echo "alias mini='~/mini-moulinette/mini-moul.sh'" >> ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc

4. Go to your assignment directory where you want to test: e.g: C02 directory

cd C02

5. Run using command mini with assignment number as argument. e.g: C02.

mini C02

e.g: C03

mini C03

6. You can now run it for every assignment directory, where tests are provided. Have fun!

Debugging

The error/success messages should be explicit enough. However sometimes you will get segmentation fault or your code doesn't compile

If your code doesn't compile

• Check the headers
• Check if it contains main inside
• Check if your function name is similar to a function from standard library, if it is then it will have problem

If you receive segmentation fault

• You need to find the test cases, go here:

cd ~/mini-moulinette/mini-moul/tests

The current directory contains all the test cases. Every test is in the file that is the same name as the function/program it is testing, e.g. C05/ex00/ft_iterative_factorial.c will contain test for C05 > ex00 > ft_iterative_factorial.c.

The test cases are usually put in a list of array in this structure, e.g. for ft_iterative_factorial test:

 t_test tests[] = {
        {
            .desc = "Factorial of 0",
            .n = 0,
            .expected = 1,
        },
        {
            .desc = "Factorial of 1",
            .n = 1,
            .expected = 1,
        },
        {
            .desc = "Factorial of 2",
            .n = 2,
            .expected = 2,
        },
        {
            .desc = "Factorial of 10",
            .n = 10,
            .expected = 3628800,
        },
        {
            .desc = "Factorial of a negative number",
            .n = -5,
            .expected = 0,
        },
 }

Customizing

See the above, you can add more tests here. You need to manage your customization yourself when you pull for updates though.
