Challenge How To

Install GEval (recommended, but not obligatory)

option A — install GEval with Haskell Stack (needs some time and a couple of gigabytes of hard disk space)

In order to evaluate your work locally, you need the GEval tool. First, install Haskell Stack:

  curl -sSL https://get.haskellstack.org/ | sh

and then install GEval itself:

  git clone git://gonito.net/geval
  cd geval
  stack setup
  stack install
  ~/.local/bin/geval --help

option B — just download the GEval binary (simpler if you have a standard 64-bit Linux)

  wget https://gonito.net/get/bin/geval
  chmod u+x geval
  ./geval --help

(GEval will make your life easier, but is not obligatory, so if you have any trouble with installing/running GEval, you can skip this step, for the time being.)

Get your repo

$case (appRepoScheme settings)
 $of SelfHosted
  $if not isIDSet || not isSSHUploaded
    
You need to
       $if not isIDSet
          \ set up your ID
          $if not isSSHUploaded
            \ and
       $if not isSSHUploaded
          \ upload your SSH public key
       \ (see your account) if you want to have a repo hosted on Gonito.net, then:

  
    git clone #{appRepoHost settings}#{shownId}/#{challengeName challenge}

  
(Warning about empty repository is expected, don't worry about it.)

  
    cd #{challengeName challenge}
    git pull #{appRepoHost settings}#{challengeName challenge}

  
(Alternatively, you can use any other Git repo, e.g. GitLab, make sure Gonito.net has access to your repo.)
 $of Branches
    
Clone the repo:

    
      git clone #{repoUrl repo}

    $maybe gitAnnexRemote <- (repoGitAnnexRemote repo)
      
        git annex init
        git annex initremote storage #{gitAnnexRemote}
        git annex get --from storage

    
Switch to some branch, let's say my-brilliant-solution:

    
      git checkout -b my-brilliant-solution

Work on your solution

You need to generate your solution for the test set as test-A/out.tsv. You may also generate the solution for the dev set (dev-0/out.tsv).

You can evaluate results for the dev set locally:

  cd #{challengeName challenge}
  geval --test-name dev-0

Push your solution to the git repo

Commit and push out.tsv files to your repo. It is also recommended to push your source codes along with out.tsv files.

  cd #{challengeName challenge}
  git add foo.py build.sh # add your source codes

$if isJust (repoGitAnnexRemote repo)
  
    # if your output files are large or if they should not pushed to the regular repo (e.g. contain sensitive information):
    git annex add dev-0/out.tsv test-A/out.tsv
    git annex copy --to storage
    # otherwise (e.g. they are just class labels), add the output files in a regular manner:
    git add dev-0/out.tsv test-A/out.tsv
$else
  
    git add dev-0/out.tsv test-A/out.tsv # add your output files

  git commit -m 'my brilliant solution'

$case (appRepoScheme settings)
  $of SelfHosted
    
      git push origin master
  $of Branches
    
      git push origin my-brilliant-solution:my-brilliant-solution

Repos hosted on Gonito.net

If you use a repo hosted here, a submission and evaluation is triggered automatically. You'll see the evaluation results in your console while pushing.

External repos

If you use an external repo (e.g. at your own of Gitolite or at GitHub), you can configure a webhook.
$maybe token <- mToken
   
Your webook is:
   
     #{appRoot settings}/trigger-remotely?token=#{token}&branch=master&challenge=#{challengeName challenge}&url=URL_TO_YOUR_REPO
   
(must be POSTed)

Manual submission

In case other methods fail, you can submit your solution manually — go to the submit form.
