The current canonical implementation of FileSpecs (File Specifications) lives in autograder-server:
That version is currently our fastest, most robust, and nicest.
However, it would be pretty useful to have a more portable version of FileSpecs.
There is another implementation in autograder-py:
https://github.com/edulinq/autograder-py/blob/main/autograder/filespec.py
We should:
- Create an implementation in this repo.
- Make it the canonical implementation.
- Include CLI tools.
- Include documentation.
- Include a test suite (that can be mirrored/used in other implementations).
One of the most key things here is establishing a compromise in some behavior
(globs is usually where corner cases come in).
When in doubt, I would prioritize behavior that matches bash and other core POSIX utilities.
This is a sibling to #10 .
