A productivity tool that can do plagiarism check using Moss for all python assignment in github classroom.

• Chrome browser with RDP enabled

  To run MossPyt, you must have Chrome installed and launch Chrome with Remote Debugging Port enabled. The reason why I use this approach is because, with RDP enabled, Chrome will store the login session of our GitHub Classroom account so that whenever we run this tool again it will automatically access the student assignments without having to re-authenticate.

  • Launch Chrome with RDP

    • Windows:

      ```bash
      /path/to/chrome --remote-debugging-port=port_number --user-data-dir=/path/to/any/directory/where/you/want/to/set/your/chrome/profile https://yoursite.com
      ```
      

    • Mac:

      ```
      /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --remote-debugging-port=port_number --user-data-dir=/path/to/any/directory/where/you/want/to/set/your/chrome/profile https://yoursite.com
      ```
      

    • Example:

      ```bash
      # launch chrome and open classroom homepage
      /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --remote-debugging-port=8989 --user-data-dir=~/chrome-rdp https://classroom.github.com/classrooms
      ```
      

  • When first launch Chrome with RDP, don't sync with your existing google account.

  • After that, make sure to have your GitHub Classroom account logged in.

• Moss account

  • Register Moss account (here)

    • To obtain a Moss account, send a mail message (without subject) to [email protected]. The body of the message should appear like the format below:

      registeruser
      mail username@domain <-- change this to your existing email
      

    • After receive reply from MOSS, proceed to copy the script from the email and save it as moss.pl to this project directory. The email should appear like this

    • Set permission on moss.pl using chmod ug+x <file>

      chmod ug+x moss.pl

• Python

• Selenium (reference

• BeautifulSoup (reference

• GitPython (reference)

• Clone repo
• Add new outputs and sources directories.

• Execute the run.sh file in the terminal:

  ./run.sh

  After running the script, it will ask for some input, such as:

  • Port Number: <current_chrome_rdp_port>
  • Classroom Assignment URL: <assignment_url>
  • Repo Prefix URL: <repo_prefix_url>
    • Example:
      • students repo URL https://github.com/FTDS-assignment-bay/p0-ftds017-hck-g1-Ayslove
      • so the prefix will be https://github.com/FTDS-assignment-bay/p0-ftds017-hck-g1
  • Select file format: <file_format> or leave blank for .ipynb file
