Example of the workspace to fork

rust-competitive-helper

How to use it:

• Switch default rust toolchain to nightly:

  rustup default nightly
  

• Install rust-competitive-helper binary:

  cargo install --git https://github.com/rust-competitive-helper/rust-competitive-helper
  

• Fork example-contests-workspace repository on github, clone it locally, open in CLion
• In CLion terminal run rust-competitive-helper from current directory

To use with Competitive Companion:

• Add 4244 to custom ports in plugin
• Choose "Run listener" in rust-competitive-helper
• Click "Parse task" in plugin
• Project for this task will be created and opened in CLion.
• Testing should be done by running main.rs in corresponding crate
• Submit ./main/src/main.rs

Config

There is a config file, which is automatically created on the first run.

Default locations:

• Linux: /home/alice/.config/rust-competitive-helper
• Windows: C:\Users\Alice\AppData\Roaming\Foo Corp\rust-competitive-helper
• macOS: /Users/Alice/Library/Preferences/rust-competitive-helper

By default CLion is used to open newly created task, but you can override it to use vscode for example:

open_task_command = [
    '/usr/bin/code',
    '-r',
    '--goto',
    '$FILE:$LINE:$COLUMN',
]

Other stuff

To make git not track changes in auto-generated main.rs file:

git update-index --assume-unchanged main/src/main.rs

If you want to use your version of rust-contest-helper, you can run it like this:

RUST_BACKTRACE=1 cargo run --manifest-path ../rust-competitive-helper/Cargo.toml 

If bug was fixed in this library, and you want cargo to start use new version, run:

cargo update
