@xuanxu – looks like @editorialbot is failing to find the correct checklist when starting these reviews:

@ggeorg02 - thank-you for your timely review! Did you have any comments to add in addition to what you indicated on the checklist? In particular with regards to the boxes you did not check? |
@LittleAprilFool - thank-you again for agreeing to review this. Perhaps it got lost in all the information above, but for you to see your reviewer checklist we need to to type |

I have noticed that the installation document lacks detail. I have identified a few minor issues with the instructions. Despite following all the steps, I was unable to get it to work and received an error message(check at the end of my notes). As a result, I was unable to test the tool's features. —> Fork an existing choochoo repository and use or extend objectives/questions/tutorials from an existing ChooChoo project. I see it to be something not readable, and a messed up site. Please update it. —>"Click on Copy repository from template" This was just “Create repository” —> “ • You are advised to create one ChooChoo repository for each class group. This will allow you to track the progress of each individual class rather than all classes combined. Is there anything that an instructor can do if they want to create 20 class groups? I was thinking about group project scenarios where 3 or 4 students in a class form a group. So, should I manually generate for all the student class groups with the current setup? —> "Enable Issues" Just wondering if it might makes sense to mention that it is enabled by default(at least, that was the case when I created it) —> "Enable Workflows" This was also enabled by default to me —> "Enable Github Pages" I didn’t see gh-pages branch. Should the user create a branch? Provide details please. —> I went with using secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN |
Same, I have tried multiple approaches to use this tool, including testing it under the author's example repository: lucydot/ChooChoo-template#37, as well as testing it under my own build: LittleAprilFool/choochoo#1. None of the approaches works as the documentation described. |
Hi @LittleAprilFool and @ggeorg02, Thanks for agreeing to review and test ChooChoo. I suspect that Github has updated its interface and default settings since I submitted this for review 6 months ago which is why some instructions are out of date (also the wrong link, see below, would not have helped!). I will run through the steps myself and update as necessary, and will confirm here once that is done. Thank you for your patience! This is actually very good timing for me as will be using it again for my own induction week teaching in a fortnight :) Please note that you ChooChoo does not allow you to run under someone elses repository unless you are added as a student or instructor (this allows repository admin to control who can participate). Of course, you should be able to run under your own so that is what I will look into.
This is a link to the wrong page! Will fix. Thanks, Lucy |
Hi @LittleAprilFool and @ggeorg02, As suspected the problems were related to update of the Github defaults, including permissions (https://github.blog/changelog/2023-02-02-github-actions-updating-the-default-github_token-permissions-to-read-only/). I've made a few commits to the choochoo-template repository which should fix the problems you were having (and to update the docs) but I've not yet had a chance to do a full test of the I was a little confused why the automatic testing happening at this repo didn't flag something up via my github notifications, but then realised that these had been disabled after 60 days of inactivity on that repo (as all workflows to update the fork with any UPDATE: It wasn't the 60 day timeout that caused the problem, it is that the changes to permissions were only applied to new repositories. |
Hello @LittleAprilFool, @ggeorg02 and @ttimbers, Apologies for my testing to take longer than expected - I have been struggling to balance this with the start of a new academic year and lecturing. Thanks for bearing with me. I have just completed a thorough run-through and located the issues you found.
I have just run through the functionality outlined in the documentation (starting with instructor setup) - https://lucydot.github.io/ChooChoo/instructors/setup/ - and can confirm it ran as expected. So hopefully you should not have any problems running through now 🤞 . I also used it during induction week with my second year undergraduate class without hiccups (though they did not use full functionality due to lack of time in schedule - they used checklist tool but did not generate their own question sets). You may note some changes to documentation - I have adjusted some wording to improve readability. All the best, Lucy |
Hi @ttimbers, just checking in on the review; is there anything I can do to help move along? |
@LittleAprilFool and @ggeorg02 - any chance you could revisit this and take a look at @lucydot 's changes. In particular the issues related to Github defaults, including permissions, and the resulting inability to get it to work? |
