Autorunner

[Trixy20]

Introduction

Autorunner is a tool for automatically executing code in any of several different programming languages without any IDE.

Description

Autorunner will work like this :

• The user launches the tool from the command line by specifying the programming language and the text editor he wants to use.

• Then, he accesses to a screen with 2 regions (one for the code editor and one for the outputs . It will be possible to modify the number of regions ).

• Now the user can write the code in the chosen editor .

• The tool will automatically run the code and display the outputs in the appropriate region after saving the file.

Relevant Technology

we will use python , Pyinotify and Pymux

• Pyinotify : is a Python module for monitoring filesystems changes. It will be used to detect any changes in the code to allow automatic execution from updated code.

• Pymux : is a terminal multiplexer, so makes possible to run multiple applications in the same terminal. It wiil be used to split the terminal in several regions(code editor, output regions ...)

Complexity

• Beginner - This project requires no or little prior knowledge of the technolog(y|ies) specified to contribute to the project
• Intermediate - The user should have some prior knowledge of the technolog(y|ies) to the point where they know how to use it, but not necessarily all the nooks and crannies of the technology
• Advanced - The project requires the user to have a good understanding of all components of the project to contribute

Required time

• Little work - A couple of days
• Medium work - A week or two
• Much work - The project will take more than a couple of weeks and serious planning is required
