EduTools Plugin 2022.8 Is Available

Anastasia Khramushina

EduTools 2022.8 is here with the ability for course creators to specify the input for output tasks. With a predefined set of inputs and outputs, no extra tests are required to check a learner’s solution. We also improved plugin quality by fixing bugs.

You can install the EduTools plugin or update it to the latest version right from Settings (Preferences for macOS) | Plugins in your JetBrains IDE.

🆕 Input for output tasks

Course creators can now specify the input for output tasks – coding exercises validated by output. Let’s take a simple “Hello, World!” task as an example. It requires a learner to print $text, World!  where $text should be read from the terminal. You can now put the “Hello” string into input.txt and the “Hello, World!” string into output.txt.

The IDE will check a predefined set of inputs and outputs, so no additional tests are required.

Check out our Educator Start Guide to see how you can create output tasks.
