The Haskell Advent of Code Development Environment

This package contains the framework and executable for my Advent of Code interactive development environment and runner/tester/benchmarker. Networking powered by advent-of-code-api library.

You write your solutions in the AOC.Challenge.DayXX modules, make sure to uncomment the exports, and everything should be good to go for interactive running, testing, viewing of prompts --- as well as integration into the executable.

Designed to only accommodate development for a single year. If you want to work on multiple years, you should re-fork into a new directory and re-configure (and change the executable name).

:~> type

The solutions expected in terms of a :~> record type:

data a :~> b = MkSol
    { sParse :: String -> Maybe a    -- ^ parse input into an `a`
    , sSolve :: a      -> Maybe b    -- ^ solve an `a` input to a `b` solution
    , sShow  :: b      -> String     -- ^ print out the `b` solution for submission
    }

An a :~> b is a solution to a challenge expecting input of type a and producing answers of type b. It also packs in functions to parse a String into an a, and functions to show a b as a String to submit as an answer.

This is meant to help mentally separate out parsing, solving, and showing, allowing for some cleaner code and an easier time planning my solution.

Such a challenge can be "run" on string inputs by feeding the string into sParse, then sSolve, then sShow:

-- | Run a ':~>' on some input, retuning 'Maybe'
runSolution :: Challenge -> String -> Maybe String
runSolution MkSol{..} s = do
    x <- sParse s
    y <- sSolve x
    pure $ sShow y

In the actual library, I have runSolution return an Either so I can debug which stage the error happened in.

sSolve also supports dyno_ :: Typeable a => String -> a -> a, which is how special test parameters are implemented. For example, 2018 Day 6 involves finding points that had a total distance of less than 10000, but for the test input, we found the points that had a total distance of less than 32. So, dyno_ allows you to write dyno_ "limit" 10000. This will be 10000 when running on test input, but will be replaced by the "limit" key that test data is allowed to manually supply. (See this file for reference.)

It is common to want to use certain common "utility" functions between different tests. For this, you can add them to the AOC.Common module, and these will be loaded as a part of AOC.Prelude.

Configuration

When you run the aoc-dev executable for the first time, it will generate a default configuration file at ./aoc-conf.yaml. At the moment, the configuration contains two fields:

  1. session: the session key. Allows you to download input data, part 2 prompts, and also submit challenges.

    Can be found by logging in on a web client and checking the cookies. You can usually check these with in-browser developer tools.

  2. year: The year you are working on. Note that this project is designed to only accommodate one "year" at a time. If you want to work on a different year, you should re-fork and start in a new project directory (and change he executable name). Note that you can re-use session keys between years, provided that they have not expired.

Interactive

The AOC.Run.Interactive module has code (powered by advent-of-code-api) for testing your solutions and submitting within GHCI, so you don't have to re-compile. If you edit your solution programs, they are automatically updated when you hit :r in ghci.

ghci> execSolution_   $ solSpec 'day02a  -- get answer for challenge based on solution
ghci> testSolution_   $ solSpec 'day02a  -- run solution against test suite
ghci> viewPrompt_     $ solSpec 'day02a  -- view the prompt for a part
ghci> waitForPrompt_  $ solSpec 'day02a  -- count down to the prompt for a part
ghci> submitSolution_ $ solSpec 'day02a  -- submit a solution

These are loaded with session key stored in the configuration file.

These identifiers (like day02a) need to be exported and in scope for this to work. If they aren't, you can manually specify the day and part, by using mkCS 2 Part1, etc.

Executable

Comes with test examples given in problems. The executable is named aoc-dev by default, but it is recommended that you change the name (in package.yaml) based on whatever year you are attempting.

$ aoc-dev --help

>> [✓] 243

You can supply input via stdin with --stdin:

$ aoc-dev run 1 --stdin
>> Day 01a
+1
+2
+1
-3
<Ctrl+D>
[?] 1
>> Day 01b
[?] 1

Benchmarking is implemented using criterion

$ aoc-dev bench 2
>> Day 02a
benchmarking...
time                 1.317 ms   (1.271 ms .. 1.392 ms)
                     0.982 R²   (0.966 R² .. 0.999 R²)
mean                 1.324 ms   (1.298 ms .. 1.373 ms)
std dev              115.5 μs   (77.34 μs .. 189.0 μs)
variance introduced by outliers: 65% (severely inflated)

>> Day 02b
benchmarking...
time                 69.61 ms   (68.29 ms .. 72.09 ms)
                     0.998 R²   (0.996 R² .. 1.000 R²)
mean                 69.08 ms   (68.47 ms .. 69.99 ms)
std dev              1.327 ms   (840.8 μs .. 1.835 ms)

Test suites run the example problems given in the puzzle description, and outputs are colorized in ANSI terminals.

$ aoc-dev test 1
>> Day 01a
[✓] (3)
[✓] (3)
[✓] (0)
[✓] (-6)
[✓] Passed 4 out of 4 test(s)
[✓] 416
>> Day 01b
[✓] (2)
[✓] (0)
[✓] (10)
[✓] (5)
[✓] (14)
[✓] Passed 5 out of 5 test(s)
[✓] 56752

This should only work if you're running aoc-dev in the project directory.

To run on actual inputs, the executable expects inputs to be found in the folder data/XX.txt in the directory you are running in. That is, the input for Day 7 will be expected at data/07.txt.

Session keys are required to download input data, "Part 2" prompts for each challenge, and also to submit.

You can "lock in" your current answers (telling the executable that those are the correct answers) by passing in --lock. This will lock in any final puzzle solutions encountered as the verified official answers. Later, if you edit or modify your solutions, they will be checked on the locked-in answers.

These are stored in data/ans/XXpart.txt. That is, the target output for Day 7 (Part 2, b) will be expected at data/ans/07b.txt. You can also manually edit these files.

You can view prompts: (use --countdown to count down until a prompt is released, and display immediately)

$ aoc-dev view 3 b
>> Day 03b
--- Part Two ---
----------------

Amidst the chaos, you notice that exactly one claim doesn't overlap by
even a single square inch of fabric with any other claim. If you can
somehow draw attention to it, maybe the Elves will be able to make
Santa's suit after all!

For example, in the claims above, only claim `3` is intact after all
claims are made.

*What is the ID of the only claim that doesn't overlap?*

You can also submit answers:

$ aoc-dev submit 1 a

Submissions will automatically run the test suite. If any tests fail, you will be asked to confirm submission or else abort. The submit command will output the result of your submission: The message from the AoC website, and whether or not your answer was correct (or invalid or ignored). Answers that are confirmed correct will be locked in and saved for future testing against, in case you change your solution.

All networking features are powered by advent-of-code-api.

Note also that stack test, stack bench, cabal test, cabal bench, etc. are all convenient aliases of aoc-dev test all and aoc-dev bench all. This can be useful continuous integration purposes.
