🧹 Nitpick comments (3)
website/admin.py (1)

748-751: Consider enhancing TaskAdmin with additional configurations.

The TaskAdmin class is quite minimal compared to other admin classes in the file. Consider adding useful configurations for better admin experience.

 class TaskAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
     list_display = ("name", "description", "task_type", "order", "is_active", "created_at")
     search_fields = ("name", "description")
+    list_filter = ("task_type", "is_active", "lab", "created_at")
+    date_hierarchy = "created_at"
+    ordering = ("lab", "order", "name")
website/models.py (1)

2510-2527: Consider adding validation for task type-specific content.

The model structure is good, but consider adding validation to ensure consistency between task types and their respective content fields. For example, theory tasks should have theory_content, while simulation tasks should have simulation_config.

You could add a clean() method to validate content based on task type:

+    def clean(self):
+        from django.core.exceptions import ValidationError
+        
+        if self.task.task_type == 'theory':
+            if not self.theory_content:
+                raise ValidationError("Theory tasks must have theory content.")
+        elif self.task.task_type == 'simulation':
+            if not self.simulation_config:
+                raise ValidationError("Simulation tasks must have simulation configuration.")
+        
+        # Validate MCQ answer format if MCQ question exists
+        if self.mcq_question and self.correct_answer:
+            if self.correct_answer not in ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D']:
+                raise ValidationError("Correct answer must be A, B, C, or D.")
website/views/Simulation.py (1)

60-64: Consider using select_related for optimization.

While the current implementation works, you could optimize database queries by using select_related when fetching the task.

-    task = get_object_or_404(Tasks, id=task_id, lab=lab, is_active=True)
-
-    try:
-        content = task.content
-    except TaskContent.DoesNotExist:
-        content = None
+    task = get_object_or_404(
+        Tasks.objects.select_related('content'), 
+        id=task_id, 
+        lab=lab, 
+        is_active=True
+    )
+    content = getattr(task, 'content', None)

website/templates/Simulation.html (1)

75-89: LGTM! Clean conversion from button to navigation link.

The change from a button element to an anchor tag is semantically correct and aligns with the new lab detail URL structure. The styling and conditional text logic are properly preserved.

website/templates/lab_detail.html (1)

1-117: LGTM! Well-structured lab detail template.

The template follows Django best practices with proper template inheritance, URL reversal, and conditional rendering. The Tailwind CSS styling provides a clean, responsive design, and the task type differentiation with icons and color coding enhances usability.

website/templates/task_detail.html (2)

1-182: LGTM! Comprehensive task detail template with solid JavaScript implementation.

The template handles both theory and simulation task types well, with proper conditional rendering and clean styling. The JavaScript code correctly implements async form submissions with proper CSRF token handling and error management.


183-260: LGTM! Well-implemented JavaScript handlers.

Both the MCQ and simulation form submission handlers are properly implemented with:

  • Proper form validation
  • Correct CSRF token handling
  • Appropriate error handling
  • Clean response processing
website/migrations/0244_tasks_taskcontent.py (1)

12-62: LGTM! Well-designed migration with proper model structure.

The migration creates two complementary models with:

  • Appropriate field types and constraints
  • Proper foreign key relationships with CASCADE deletion
  • Unique constraint on (lab, order) ensuring proper task sequencing
  • JSONField usage for flexible content storage
  • Good meta options for ordering and naming

The model structure effectively supports the template functionality and provides a solid foundation for the lab task system.

blt/urls.py (2)

279-279: LGTM! Proper import statement expansion.

The import statement correctly includes all the new simulation views needed for the enhanced lab functionality.


363-366: LGTM! Well-structured URL patterns for lab functionality.

The URL changes provide:

  • Clearer naming with "simulation_dashboard"
  • Logical URL hierarchy for labs and tasks
  • Proper parameter types (int) for database IDs
  • Consistent naming conventions

These URLs properly support the template navigation structure and form submissions.

website/admin.py (4)

41-41: LGTM! Model imports follow proper conventions.

The new model imports are correctly placed in alphabetical order and follow the existing import structure pattern.

Also applies to: 64-65


730-746: Well-structured admin class with proper content handling.

The TaskContentAdmin class follows Django admin best practices with appropriate field configurations and a well-implemented get_content_preview method that handles different content types gracefully.


753-764: Comprehensive admin class following established patterns.

The LabsAdmin class is well-implemented with comprehensive configurations and follows the patterns established by other admin classes in the file. The custom get_description_preview method properly handles content truncation.


766-768: Model registrations are correctly implemented.

The new model registrations properly pair each model with its corresponding admin class following Django admin conventions.

website/models.py (1)

2486-2508: LGTM! Well-structured model with good practices.

The Tasks model is well-designed with proper relationships, constraints, and field definitions. The unique constraint on ["lab", "order"] ensures proper task ordering within each lab, and the CASCADE deletion behavior is appropriate.

website/management/commands/create_sql_injection_tasks.py (2)

10-14: Good error handling for missing lab.

The try-except block properly handles the case when the SQL Injection lab doesn't exist, with a helpful error message directing users to run the prerequisite command.


336-376: Well-structured task creation logic.

The implementation correctly uses Django's get_or_create and update_or_create methods to ensure idempotency. The conditional logic properly handles different task types and provides clear console feedback.

website/views/Simulation.py (1)

41-51: Clean implementation of lab detail view.

Good use of get_object_or_404 and filtering by is_active status. The view follows Django best practices.

154-158: Fix incorrect simulation_config structure.

The table_structure dictionary incorrectly contains success_payload as a nested field. This should be at the same level as other simulation config fields.

Apply this diff to fix the structure:

                    "table_structure": {
                        "users": ["id", "username", "password", "email"],
                        "products": ["id", "name", "price", "description"],
-                        "success_payload": "' UNION SELECT id, username, password, email FROM users--",
                    },
+                    "success_payload": "' UNION SELECT id, username, password, email FROM users--",
🧹 Nitpick comments (1)
website/management/commands/create_sql_injection_tasks.py (1)

336-346: Consider adding duplicate key handling.

The get_or_create call uses name, order, and lab as lookup fields, but if tasks with the same name and order exist for different labs, this could cause issues. Consider making the lookup more explicit.

Apply this diff for clearer intent:

            task, created = Tasks.objects.get_or_create(
                lab=sql_lab,
                name=task_data["name"],
-                order=task_data["order"],
                defaults={
                    "description": task_data["description"],
                    "task_type": task_data["task_type"],
+                    "order": task_data["order"],
                    "is_active": True,
                },
            )

website/management/commands/create_sql_injection_tasks.py (3)

1-14: LGTM! Proper error handling and dependencies.

The command correctly handles the case where the required "SQL Injection" lab doesn't exist and provides clear instructions to run the prerequisite command.


366-366: LGTM! Proper use of update_or_create for content.

The use of update_or_create ensures that task content is properly updated when the command is run multiple times, maintaining idempotency.


378-379: No changes needed: update_total_tasks is defined on the Labs model
A quick search confirms the method exists in website/models.py:

# website/models.py
def update_total_tasks(self):
    """
    Updates the total_tasks count based on related tasks.
    This will be called when tasks are added/removed.
    """
    if hasattr(self, "tasks"):
        self.total_tasks = self.tasks.count()
        self.save()

You can safely ignore this suggestion.

Likely an incorrect or invalid review comment.

website/views/Simulation.py (6)

4-7: LGTM! Proper imports added.

The new imports for JsonResponse, get_object_or_404, and the new models are correctly added to support the new functionality.


41-51: LGTM! Clean and secure lab detail view.

The view properly uses get_object_or_404 for security and filters for active labs and tasks. The context structure is appropriate for the template.


54-70: LGTM! Proper task detail implementation.

The view correctly handles the potential absence of task content with a try-catch block and provides appropriate context to the template.


87-100: LGTM! Secure theory task handling.

The theory task handling properly validates user input, compares answers case-insensitively, and provides appropriate feedback.


102-126: LGTM! Improved simulation task handling.

The simulation task handling now properly initializes expected_payload and handles the case where success_payload is not defined. The conditional logic for building the response is correct.


105-124: Approval: Simulation view clean of debug statements and undefined-variable issues

  • expected_payload is explicitly initialized to None, eliminating any risk of an undefined variable.
  • A search of website/views/Simulation.py confirmed there are no remaining print() calls.
