A simple (and quite opinonated) "framework" for Gradescope autograders, written in Python, for Python assignments.
We use the limited shellscript-based method to create the autograder container. Since the gradescope/auto-build container is based on Ubuntu Focal [sic], with no option to use a more recent O/S version, we set up Python from source (using pyenv, as of this writing).
📁 /autograder
├─ 📁 source
│ ├─ skeleton.zip [*1]
│ ├─ 📁 assignment [*1]
│ ├─ 📁 pyscope
│ ├─ 📁 etc
│ ├─ run_autograder
│ └─ setup.sh
├─ run_autograder [*2]
├─ setup.sh [*2]
├─ 📁 submission [*2]
└─ 📁 results [*2]Certain design choices were made in order to support backwards compatibility with our prior unit-testing tooling for homework assingment. In particular, the autograder zipfile may optionally include a skeleton.zip file, whose contents will be unzipped into the assignment folder. The latter does not need to exist in the zipfile. Other than these two items [*1], everything else does not change between assignments.
Gradescope sets up everything else [*2]. We have consciously chosen to re-arrange things within the source folder, which should hopefully simplify testing/debugging the setup on a local machine (i.e., without requiring the full Gradescope environment). Also, decoupling the framework from Gradescope (as much as possible) can't be a bad thing, long term...
