Create

Build

Build the configuration file to be used by the extension to run the tutorial.

coderoad build

Defaults assume:

a TUTORIAL.md markdown file (change with --markdown OTHER.md)
a coderoad.yaml file (change with --yaml other.yaml)
an output file of tutorial.json (change with --output other.json)

The configuration file is created by matching the level and step ids between the TUTORIAL.md and coderoad.yaml files against git commit messages with the same ids. For example:

TUTORIAL.md

# Tutorial Title

Tutorial description.

## L1 This is a level with id = 1

This level has two steps...

### L1S1 First step

The first step with id L1S1. The Step id should start with the level id.

#### HINTS

- The first hint available when a user requests a hint
- The second hint that will show
- The third and final hint, as it is last in order

### L1S2 The second step

The second step...

coderoad.yaml

  - id: L1
    config: {}

      - id: L1S1
        setup:

          commands:
            - npm install

    L1S2Q setup level 1, step 2

Note that the step L1S2 has two commits, one with the suffix Q and another one with A. The suffixes mean Question and Answer, respectively, and refer to the unit tests and the commit that makes them pass.

Steps defined as questions are required as they are meant to set the task to be executed by the student. The answer is optional and should be used when a commit must be loaded to verify the student's solution.

If there are multiple commits for a level or step, they are captured in order.
