Exercism Phix_HERE Representer

The Docker image to automatically create a representation for Phix_HERE solutions submitted to Exercism.

Getting started

Build the representer, conforming to the Representer interface specification. Update the files to match your track's needs. At the very least, you'll need to update bin/run.sh, Dockerfile and the test solutions in the tests directory. The existing test solutions are suggestions for you could be testing, but remember to add your track-specific files too

Tip: look for TODO: comments to point you towards code that need updating
Tip: look for OPTIONAL: comments to point you towards code that could be useful

Default Implementation

The default implementation should work as follows:

The representation.txt contains the concatenated solution files
- Solution files are separated by an empty line
- Solution files are identified via the the .files.solution[] property in the .meta/config.json file
The mapping.json contains an empty JSON object ({})

Normalizations

Blank files in the solution files are removed in the representation.txt
Line-based trailing whitespace in the solution files is removed in the representation.txt

Run the representer

To create a representation for a single solution, do the following:

Open a terminal in the project's root
Run ./bin/run.sh <exercise-slug> <solution-dir> <output-dir>

Once the representer has finished, its results will be written to <output-dir>/representation.txt and <output-dir>/mapping.json.

Run the representer on a solution using Docker

This script is provided for testing purposes, as it mimics how representers run in Exercism's production environment.

To create a representation for a single solution using the Docker image, do the following:

Open a terminal in the project's root
Run ./bin/run-in-docker.sh <exercise-slug> <solution-dir> <output-dir>

Once the representer has finished, its results will be written to <output-dir>/representation.txt and <output-dir>/mapping.json.

Run the tests

To run the tests to verify the behavior of the representer, do the following:

Open a terminal in the project's root
Run ./bin/run-tests.sh

These are golden tests that compare the representation.txt and mapping.json generated by running the current state of the code against the "known good" tests/<test-name>/expected_representation.txt and tests/<test-name>/expected_mapping.json. All files created during the test run itself are discarded.

When you've made modifications to the code that will result in a new "golden" state, you'll need to generate and commit a new tests/<test-name>/expected_representation.txt and tests/<test-name>/expected_mapping.json file.

Run the tests using Docker
