Fetch the input and example input of the AOC challenge for a given day / year.
This mix task fetches the input and example input for the advent of code challenge of a specific
day. The day and year of the challenge can be passed as command-line arguments or be set in the
advent_of_code_utils
application configuration. When neither is present, the current date is
used.
By default, this task stores the fetched input data in input/<year>_<day>.txt
. The fetched
example is stored in input/<year>_<day>_example.txt
. If a file already exists, the matching
input is not fetched. The destination paths can be modified by setting the value of
:input_path
or :example_path
in the advent_of_code_utils
application configuration. These
values should be set to a string which may contain :year
and :day
. These values will be
replaced by the day and year of which the input is fetched.
For instance, the following configuration will store the fetched input data in
my_input/<year>/<day>.input
:
config :advent_of_code_utils, :code_path, "my_input/:year/:day.input"
session-cookie
Session cookie
In order to fetch your input, this task needs your advent of code session cookie. This can be
obtained by investigating your cookies after logging in on the advent of code website. The
cookie can be stored inside your config/config.exs
file (e.g.
config, :advent_of_code_utils, :session, "<your cookie here>"
) or it can be passed as a
command-line argument. If no cookie is present, the input can not be fetched.
example-input
Example input
The example input of a given day is fetched by parsing the challenge webpage of a given day and returning the first code example found on that page. This is generally the example input of that day. As this method is not foolproof, it is sometimes necessary to modify the example file by hand.
If you do not wish to fetch example input, you can pass the --no-example
flag to this task, or
you can set fetch_example
to false
in the advent_of_code_utils
application configuration.
