In this assignment, you are going to be creating a (simple) static site builder for blogs, as a shell script.
Given the examples/simple/ as the input, which looks like this:
examples/
— simple/
— postone.txt
— some-other-post.txt
running the following:
./generate.sh examples/simple/ output/should create:
output/
— postone.html
— some-other-post.html
In other words, for each of the original .txt files, a corresponding .html file should be created. If examples/simple/postone.txt contains
Post 1 Title
This is the body of Post 1.
then output/postone.html should look like
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Post 1 Title</title>
</head>
<body>
This is the body of Post 1.
</body>
</html>Score percentage is in bold.
- The script takes two arguments:
- The input directory
- The output directory
- Given an input directory of plain text files, your script should convert each one to an HTML page the output directory. It should work with any number of input files, in any directory, with any arbitrary names. (50%)
- The first line of each text file is the title (20%), then there's an empty line, then the rest is the body. (20%)
- The generated pages should use the provided template HTML file, replacing the
{{title}}and{{body}}. - If the output directory doesn't exist, create it and any missing parent directories (a.k.a. "recursively"). (5%)
- All of the tests + Code Climate checks (5%) should pass.
xfailandXPASScorrespond to the tests for the extra credit, so don't worry about them otherwise.
Fill in the generate.sh shell script with your code. You should not need to modify any other files.
Too easy? Try the following:
-
Any URLs should be hyperlinked (10%). For example:
https://someurl.com/somepathanywhere in the body should turn into
<a href="https://someurl.com/somepath">https://someurl.com/somepath</a>
-
Any blank lines followed by more content should create a new paragraph (10%). For example:
Some text. Some more text.in the body should turn into
<p> Some text. </p> <p> Some more text. </p>

Inside your virtual machine:
cd /vagrant/static
# install dependencies
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
# run the "simple" tests (get these passing first)
pytest -v -k simple
# run all required tests (including randomized ones)
pytest -v
# run all tests, including extra credit ones
pytest --runxfail -v
# run the Code Climate checks locally
sudo apt update
sudo apt install shellcheck
shellcheck generate.sh
# if it doesn't print anything, you're good to go!More info:
