Repository Evaluation System

Downloads student project repositories for further evaluation. Also:

checks for files at specified locations
analyzes version histories
opens version history URLs in a browser for further inspection

Prerequisites

Git
Anaconda 3.7
Python 3.7
Pip

Installation

Install source code:

git clone git@github.com:prof-rossetti/repo-evaluator-py.git
cd repo-evaluator-py/

Create and activate a new virtual environment:

conda create -n repo-eval-env python=3.7 # first time only
conda activate repo-eval-env

Install package dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

Downloading Repos

Populate db/submissions.csv with entries like the following:

github_username, repository_url
user123, https://github.com/user123/some-repo
user456, https://github.com/user456/another-repo-py/tree/my-branch
"partner1, partner2, partner3", https://github.com/partner2/group-repo

NOTE: The only required header here is repository_url

NOTE: All repository urls are assumed to be valid. It's ok if they point to certain branches (i.e. urls with "repo_name/tree/branch_name")

Download all the repos:

python app/repo_downloader.py # this will populate the `repos` directory!

File Analysis

Populate the db/files_expected.csv file with a list of files and/or directories each repository should contain, for example:

filepath
.env.example
LICENSE
README.md
products_app/app.py
products_app/db/products_default.csv
tests

Analyze contents of each repo to detect presence of files at specified locations:

python app/file_checker.py # this will write a report to `db/file_checks.csv`

History Viewing

View in a browser the version history of each repo:

python -m app.history_viewer

History Analysis

Populate the db/authors_excluded.csv to exclude professor commits in starter repos:

author_name
Polly Professor
Tommy TA

Populate the db/users_authors.csv file to specify a GitHub username for each non-username author name, so commits by the same username under different author names will be rolled-up into the same username:

username, author_name
user123, First User
user456, Nickname Lastname
user456, Fullfirst Lastname
user789, Firstname

Analyze the version history for each repo:

python -m app.history_checker # this will write a report to `db/histories_checked.csv`

Running Tests for Submissions

Run tests for each submission separately:

for dir in ~/Desktop/grading-your-dir-here/*; do (cd "$dir" && pwd && pytest && cd ..); done

# with sleep:
for dir in ~/Desktop/grading-cleanup/*; do (cd "$dir" && pwd && pytest && cd .. && sleep 5); done

Testing

Run tests:

pytest tests/ # specify filepath to exclude tests from downloaded repos
