Tester for MeeshQuest's Automated Canonical Tester

This short python script first goes through all of the existing tests on the ACT and downloads all of the tests you currently don't have. The script then runs your jar file with all of the tests, and uses diff to compare the ACT output and your jar file's output. The python script will be timeconsuming running the first time, as it has to download all of the tests. I ran the script fresh against 2500 tests for part 2, and it took several minutes.

Have a Unix machine (not sure if this works for Windows because the script uses diff)

Have Python 2.7 (not sure if this works for Python 3)

Set up BeautifulSoup

1. Create a new folder, and place TACT.py into new folder

2. Create a runnable JAR file.

• In Eclipse, Right click your project, choose 'Export...'
• In the pop-up, underneath Java, choose 'Runnable JAR file' and click Next
• In Launch Configuration dropdown, choose 'MeeshQuest - PROJECT_NAME_YOU_ARE_EXPORTING'
• Make the export destination the same folder TACT.py is in and click Finish

3. Place the relevant part*.xsd file in the same folder as TACT.py, as well as the relevant *.xsl file if needed

4. In the TACT.py file, the base_url variable should be changed to the relevant part you are on

The python script takes 1-2 arguments. You NEED to input the .jar file. You can also optionally provide a test number to start at

Samples:

python TACT.py JARFILE.jar 4

python TACT.py JARFILE.jar

Feel free to make a pull request/get in contact with me if you have improvements. This code was written up in 2 hours, so I know it's not the best

(For part 2) TACT doesn't place nice when invalid input is given to the ACT. You could fail a lot of tests because points were simply put too close together.
