This wiki page is for the description of changes made under E1906 OSS assignment for Spring 2019, CSC/ECE 517.
Expertiza Background
Expertiza is a web application developed using Ruby on Rails Framework whose creation and maintenance is taken care of by students as well as the faculty of NCSU.It's code is available on Github Expertiza on GitHub.Expertiza allows the instructor to create and edit new as well as existing assignments.This also includes creating a wide range of topics under each assignment which students can sign up for.They can also publish surveys and reviews,view statistical results, set deadlines for assignments and make announcements.It provides a platform for students to signup for topics,form teams,view and submit assignments and give peer reviews and feedback.
Stage Deadline Background
An assignment in Expertiza has many deadlines possible: deadlines for submission and review in each round,deadlines for signing up and dropping topics,submitting meta-reviews,etc.Depending on what the next deadline is,an Expertiza assignment is said to be in a particular kind of what is called "stage".For example,if the next deadline(after the current time) is a submission deadline which is a DueDate object,then the assignment is said to be in a "submission" phase.
Depending on which stage an assignment is in, certain activities may be permissible or impermissible.For example, the default for a submission stage is to allow submission but not review,and in a review stage,the default is to allow review but not submission.These defaults may be changed by checking the relevant boxes on the Due Dates tab of assignment creation or editing.In the figure below it can be seen the "Other's work" link is grayed out as review is not permissible during submission phase.
Problem Statement
E1906 is an Expertiza based OSS project which deals basically with refactoring stage deadlines in assignment.rb file.Class assignment.rb has several methods for checking what kind of stage an assignment is in at the current time.These are:
- current_stage_name(topic_id = nil)
- find_current_stage(topic_id = nil)
- get_current_stage(topic_id = nil)
- link_for_current_stage(topic_id = nil)
- stage_deadline(topic_id = nil)
The goal of this project is to make these methods more readable using Ruby and Rails convention.
