Coderoad Vscode Versions Save

• Style fixes for tables & bold markdown

• Support loading subtasks (#340). Subtasks are a list of tests that need to pass before a task is complete. They can be loaded by:

1. filtering down to a subset of tests by setting the step.setup.filter to a regex pattern that matches the tests you're targeting
2. setting the step.setup.subtasks variable to true

See an example here: https://github.com/ShMcK/coderoad-tutorial-subtask-demo

• Change for the test runner config. Changes are backwards compatible.

1. testRunner.path=> testRunner.directory
2. testRunner.actions => testRunner.setup
3. Change command to capture args for "TAP" support, and test "filter"ing support. These changes will help lead to specific test suite presets in the future.

{
  "testRunner": {
    "command": "mocha",
    "args": {
      "filter": "--grep",
      "tap": "--reporter=mocha-tap-reporter"
    },
    "directory": ".coderoad",
    "setup": {
      "commits": ["410bd4f"],
      "commands": ["npm install"]
    }
  }
}

• New configuration environment variables for web compatability

CODEROAD_DISABLE_RUN_ON_SAVE=true // blocks saving on file system changes
CODEROAD_DISPLAY_RUN_TEST_BUTTON=true // adds a run test button to tutorial page
CODEROAD_TUTORIAL_URL='path/to/tutorial_config_file.json' // will load directly into tutorial

• Improves styles for inline code blocks

• Replace checkboxes with icons

• Show test fail messages in the webview UI. Adds a link to open logs

• Display error messages if React fails to load

• Various fixes & performance improvements

• Want to look back at a previous lesson's content? Navigate through text content from previous levels by clicking the "Learn" dropdown.

• Continue an incomplete tutorial started in the same workspace. Choose the "continue" path from the start screen. Progress is stored in local storage in the workspace.

• Improve error page
• Tutorial dependency validation in tutorial config. See an example below

{
  "config": {
    "dependencies": [
      {
        "name": "node", // command line process to run
        "version": "^10", // see node-semver for options
        "message": "An optional message to display if the validation fails"
      },
      {
        "name": "npm",
        "version": ">5"
      }
    ]
  }
}

• Improvements to error handling
