Hello Michael,
we've just updated our Moodle installation to Version 3.1. Is your Plugin available for Version 3.1?

Currently we've got an error by using the Plugin: JUNIT Test File Error: The submitted answer ist not compatible with the Test class or Test class can not be compiled (translated form german to english, I hope it is understandable). In our old Moodle Version (2.9) this question Type workes fine !

Looking forward to hear from you !

best regards

Jörg

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your reply.

Before reading what you wrote above, I created a new option to display the result string. It is very rudimentary, but it works with the existing code with minor modifications. I've only tested it with assertEquals, but I think it should work with other assert* methods. It basically looks for the existing strings in the junit error output like "expected x but got y" and outputs that text along with the String message in the assert* method.

I put a pull request on github for this. Take a look when you get a chance. I appreciate your feedback on it.

Best,
Paul

Hey Paul,
thanks for your Feedback.

Currently there is no feedback for the message string parameter of the overloaded assert*()-methods. We like the idea of a static feedback language to avoid any attack vectors against the escape functions or to trick the regex used for parsing the junit output (to generate grades and feedback). This also avoids to get any system information which may be interesting for an attacker.

For the next update we have plans to allow string literals as a first step (like assertArrayEquals("Array is ruined", ...), but not AssertArrayEquals(errstr, ...)) by preparsing and use of unique placeholders. And maybe the option to return the real junit assert error string (via regex) and/or stacktrace but with a global on/off switch for the admin and a warning.

Best,

Hello, and thank you for this amazing plug-in. I have used it successfully in Moodle 2.8. I have a feature request: it would be really great if you could add an feedback option for the results of the unit tests. For example:

sum(2,3); expected: 5; actual: 0;

I think this would help students diagnose their errors on questions where more than one submission is allowed.

Thanks again!
Paul

Hi Claudia,
Testing multiple outer classes is currently not possible. Our current recommendation to circumvent this is is the use of inner classes. We are currently working on a version which wraps the code in the window in some additional hidden instructor-given code.

Hey there,
is it posible to test more than one class in one question (for example to test object oriented code of students)?
Thanks for answering =)

@stacey mr: soon we will release a new version which will allow to sent the code to another server (via curl) to another server. this will also allows to terminate the entire test. Apart from this Timeouts for the Test will be provided.

@cse batch: C programming tests will not be supported in the current and upcoming release. However the execution on a different server might be extended to setup a virtual machine to run the c code. This seems necessary to us as c does not provide a security manager

Has anyone found a way to set run time limits on each test case in the TestFile? I have used @Test(timeout = 200) and it seems to not respond to this. The plugin is working perfectly, but I need it to only run each case for a limited amount of time. Thanks.

In the plugin, there is a polifile. It is a security manager, which checks for non-proper java code and prevent the execution of program code, which could damage the server. Furthermore, since the plugin creates and works in its own directory, in which the files are created on the server with user role, the plugin is not able to execute any program code, which could damage the server, since the test is executed with user role.

This plugin contains potential privacy issues:
How could a malicious user exploit this plugin? Could a user submit code that could cause a DOS attack with a loop, have direct access to files on the server, exhaust memory resources. It seems that it would be better if the evaluation and execution of the code made use of an external service. I am interested in comments from those more familiar with security.
