Configuring exercise settings
Individual settings of an exercise are configured in the exercise-config.json file of this exercise.
| Information | IMPORTANT: If you change the file names specified in exercise-config.json, be sure to update them in the exercise-config.json file as well. |
To configure settings for an exercise, complete these steps:
- In the LMS authoring interface, go to Authoring > Labs.
- Switch to the Coding labs tab.
- In the filter, select Drafts.
- Click the lab and wait till the lab opens.
- Open CODE > exercises > {the exercise you need}.
- Click exercise-config.json and in the editor pane specify the following parameters:
| Parameter | Description | Value type | Default value |
| tests | List of test files that need to be run to check the learner's solution to the exercise. If there are multiple files, separate them with commas. | "tests": "leap_tests1.py", "leap_tests2.py" | — |
| tests_type | Set the type of auto-tests to use for learners' answers assessment in this exercise. The available types are: * unit — learners' results are compared with the expected result. * input — learners' results are compared with test-cases in the form of stdin input that you will need to write. See Creating input tests. | unit | |
| masked-test | List of test files for which the correct answers should be hidden from learners. Only whether the learner has passed or failed the exercise will be displayed. | "masked-test": "leap_masked_tests.py" | — |
| max_points | If the exercise needs to be graded, the maximum score for the successful implementation. | Decimal | — |
| display_execution_time | Parameter that defines whether to show the program execution time to learners. This parameter is useful when there is a time restriction for the learner. | ||
