feat: hints for failing checks #156
Conversation

For others running this I manually added a hint in my gatorgrade.yml file. Also from what I found, hints can only be added to the "options" lists and not just any command in the gatorgrade.yml. I tried adding a hint to another command that failed and did not see the hint output.
Can commands without the "options" list have hints? It might be worth adding it as it's own category rather than as part of the "options" list in the gatorgrade.yml file. This way professors can add a hint to any element of the gatorgrade.yml file.
Also, when both the run this command and the hint prints there is a space between the command that ran and the hint. This would be worth addressing. It makes it confusing to read. I hard coded a new line character in the run this command. A possible fix might be adding the hint before the run this command or figuring out a way to only add the newline character if there is no hint after it.
The changes I made to the gatorgrade.yml file:
Here is the output I see in my terminal when running this:
To fix:
- move
hintout of the options list in thegatorgrade.yml(but this also could be me just not quite understanding the hint feature) - remove the newline from
run this commandwhenhintandrun this commandare both print - consider: changing the color scheme so that
hintis more easily differentiable fromrun this command

@rebekahrudd Thanks for thoroughly reviewing this feature! I think our class should talk about everything you mentioned during my demo. |

Hi @dyga01, do you have any update for this pr? |
Hi @CalebKendra, this PR has been updated to work with shell checks and also now works with Rebekah's "run this command" feature. I think this PR is ready to be reviewed. Thanks! |

This worked on Linux!
Here is the output of adding a hint to a ShellCheck command that calls gatorgrader:

It works on Windows 10!
I used the Windows bug as an example for fun. The "MatchFileFragment" is something @suppo01 and @rebekahrudd are working on now but I thought it would be interesting if I used the hint feature with it. Good job overall, I think this format will be useful for future features. One question, I saw a test case was deleted and nothing replaced it why was that?

@PCain02 This test case has been added back in. Thanks! |
Hint Feature
Description
This feature allows instructors to add hints that will be displayed anytime a check fails. The hints can be added under options in the gatorgrade.yml file. This will be very beneficial because it provides instructors with an opportunity to provide additional information for more difficult checks.
