Using OK
CS 61A uses a program called ok
to test and submit homework
assignments, labs, and projects.
Every programming assignment will include a .zip
archive that
contains the following:
- Starter code
- A copy of
ok
After extracting the contents of the archive, you can begin your assignment.
Signing in with OK
To get started, open your terminal, and cd
into the right directory
(you should see a file called ok
when you ls
in the right
directory).
Try the following command:
python3 ok
This runs the tests (don't worry if the tests fail at first; you haven't written code yet!).
The first time you run ok
, you will be asked your
bCourses email address.
Make sure you use your bCourses email address. We use this email address to associate your OK account to our grading system.
After typing in your email, your web browser will open an
authentication page. Click "Accept" to authenticate ok
.
Not Enrolled?
If you saw an error message indicating you are not enrolled in the course, make sure you are using the email address that would appear on the course roster. If the email you used is correct, you may continue to use the email. Your submissions will still be saved. You should instead contact your TA to get that email address enrolled.
Wrong email?
If you typed your email incorrectly, you can re-authenticate with the following command:
python3 ok --authenticate
Crashed or did not load
Make sure you have the 64 bit version of Python 3.4 installed. You can check whether you have 32 by running the following command in your terminal.
python3 -c "import struct,platform;print(8 * struct.calcsize('P'), platform.python_version())"
Testing with OK
After writing some code, you can test your code with ok
in various
ways.
Test specific questions
To test a specific question, use the -q
option with the name of the
function:
python3 ok -q <function>
Test all questions
You can run all the tests with the following command:
python3 ok
Display all tests
By default, only tests that fail will appear. If you want to see
how you did on all tests, you can use the -v
option:
python3 ok -v
Test locally
If you do not want to send your progress to our server or you have any
problems logging in, add the --local
flag to block all communication:
python3 ok --local
Submit assignment
When you are ready to submit, run ok
with the --submit
option:
python3 ok --submit
After submitting, ok
will display a submission URL, with which you
can view your submission on okpy.org.
Viewing submissions
You can go to okpy.org to check your submissions and backups. Make sure you sign in with your bCourses email.
