Effortlessly identify edge test cases where your code fails, which are often hidden on competitive programming platforms. This tool requires three files: one containing the code that generates incorrect output, another with the code producing the correct output, and a third file designed to generate test cases. It then automatically generates test cases where your code fails by comparing the output with the correct code, helping you pinpoint and address specific issues.
New Feature has been of auto generating Test Case Generator File has been added in version Version 1.1.0.
This feature also requires a browser extension whoose url will soon be added, along with video tutorial.
Requirements
Python: Version 3.8 or higher.
node: Version 18.20 or higher.
Python Libraries:
pidusage: Version 3.0.2 or higher. This package is used for monitoring the process CPU and memory usage.
beautifulsoup: Version 4.10.0 or higher. To extract data effectively from HTML.
Settings
The CP Edge Case extension offers several settings to configure the execution environment for different programming languages. Below are the available settings:
Max Execution Time
Key: cp-edge-case.Max Execution Time
Type: number
Default: 5000
Description: Specifies the maximum time (in milliseconds) for which a file is executed before it is terminated. This helps in preventing infinite loops or excessively long-running processes.
Max Memory Usage
Key: cp-edge-case.Max Memory Usage
Type: number
Default: 1
Description: Sets the maximum memory allocation (in GB) for file execution. This setting helps in managing the memory usage of the programs being executed.
Python Command
Key: cp-edge-case.Python command
Type: string
Default: python
Description: Defines the command to execute Python files. You can customize it to your Python interpreter command (python3, py, etc.).
CPP Command
Key: cp-edge-case.CPP command
Type: string
Default: g++
Description: Specifies the command to compile and execute C++ files. You can change it according to the C++ compiler you use (clang++, etc.).
C Command
Key: cp-edge-case.C command
Type: string
Default: gcc
Description: Determines the command to compile and execute C files. This can be customized to use a different C compiler (clang, etc.).
Java Command
Key: cp-edge-case.Java command
Type: string
Default: javac ${file} && java ${fileBase}
Description: Provides the command to compile and execute Java files. This setting is particularly useful for specifying the Java compiler and execution commands in one go.
How to Configure Settings
You can configure these settings directly in your Visual Studio Code settings.json file or through the Settings UI under the Extensions category.
