Some useful things for developers to know:
- Testing with ok-client
- To test with ok-client, please follow the instructions for the ok-client repo here.
- Once you are inside the virtual environment for ok-client, you can make a new binary by using the command
ok-publish
. - Start the local ok server.
- When running the ok binary, add the flags
--insecure --server localhost:<port>
to point it to the running ok-server - To find demo assignments that you can use the binary with, look in ok-client/demo
