Wildcard support for manual templates #22

Closed cm090 closed 2 weeks ago

cm090 commented 5 months ago

Right now, manual autograders check for file existence by looking at the exact filename. This does not allow for wildcards, causing problems if a student names their file different from what the instructions recommend. Students receive false negatives on the missing files check even though they submitted all the required files. For this feature, you will update both manual templates to support wildcards in the format *.java, *.png, and so on. You can expect each wildcard begins with a single star, followed by a dot and the file extension. When this is encountered, the autograder will search for files in the submission directory that end with the specified file extension. If at least one is found, the check passes. Otherwise, alert the student of a missing file.

This feature is partially implemented on the HWQuizQuestions autograder, which you can download here. The goal is to add support for any wildcard provided in the config.json file list.

If you have time, have the wildcard search ignore other files from the configuration. For example, if the files list includes MyClass.java and *.java, the autograder will ignore MyClass.java when searching for matches.

General wildcard support is present with #27. Will continue to exclude explicitly mentioned files from the wildcard search.
