compare50 - Killed
This keeps happening for the homepage assignment. @crossroads1112 @Jelleas is there a workaround to stop it from timing out? I assume this will probably take the longest to run since some students have a lot of .html files and compare50 is trying to compare each student's html files against every other .html file in the archives and submissions folder.
@dmalan
In order to debug this, I'll need access to the submissions and archives. Would you be able to email me a zip?
@crossroads1112 I actually think the main reason this didn't work was probably because of the variety of file types. Since this was a relatively open-ended assignment students had images, videos, pdfs, etc. in their submissions. I restricted to just HTML and CSS files which ran but rendered weird when I opened them in a browser. For example, only the left or the right side would load. Is there a max number of files that compare50 can handle in as one submission?
Not a max number, no, but it's possible that feeding it so many additional files causes it to use enough memory that the os kills it (what is happening here). The right/left side thing sounds weird, but I can't debug unless you send me the zip.
