Have fun with the Advent of Code using Ruby.
Install the gem and add to the application's Gemfile by executing:
$ bundle add advent
If bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:
$ gem install advent
Advent expects you to have a working directory resembling something like:
$ tree
.
├── 2015
└── 2016
advent
commands should be run from the root of this directory tree.
If you want to use advent
for downloading challenge inputs, first auth:
$ advent auth
It will prompt you for your session cookie from
adventofcode.com. Log in to the website and look
at your cookies, grab the session
value and paste it into the prompt (it's
hidden). This will be saved in .advent_session
which should also have been
added to your .gitignore
if you're in a git repo.
The typical flow for tackling a daily challenge would be:
$ advent new 2015 1 # generates working files
$ advent download 2015 1 # downloads the input file
$ vim 2015/day1.rb test/2015/day1_test.rb # do your work
$ ruby test/2015/day1_test.rb # run any tests you may have
$ advent solve 2015/day1.rb # get your answers to submit on adventofcode.com
A list of commands and help is available using advent
:
$ advent help
After checking out the repo, run bin/setup
to install dependencies. Then, run
rake test
to run the tests. You can also run bin/console
for an interactive
prompt that will allow you to experiment.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install
. To
release a new version, update the version number in version.rb
, and then run
bundle exec rake release
, which will create a git tag for the version, push
git commits and the created tag, and push the .gem
file to
rubygems.org.
