FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

Informations about the package moss

CourseLib MOSS Submission analysis component

This component supports sending submissions to the CourseLib system to the MOSS (Measure of Software Similarity) system for detection of inappropriate copying.

See http://metlab.cse.msu.edu/courselib/moss for more detail on utilizing the cl/moss component.

The MOSS component is dependent on cl/course and adds features to the submission system. To install:

The cl/moss component installs an analysis class that can be attached to an assignment submission. This is an example of how to add MOSS analysis to a submission:

Parameters

$moss->type

The type property sets the submission type. The only type currently supported is 'zip', where the assignment is submitted in .zip format.

$moss->user

This is a user ID assigned by MOSS. MOSS id's are usually assigned to departments or units and you should check with your system administrator to see if a MOSS ID is already available. See the MOSS home page for details on how to request a MOSS ID. The MOSS ID is usually a 9-digit number.

$moss->language

The language property indicates the computer language for the submissions. Note that not all MOSS languages appear to work, but the specified list is:

"c", "cc", "java", "ml", "pascal", "ada", "lisp", "scheme", "haskell", "fortran", "ascii", "vhdl", "perl", "matlab", "python", "mips", "prolog", "spice", "vb", "csharp", "modula2", "a8086", "javascript", "plsql", "verilog"

$moss->include

The include property is set to a regular expression that specifies the files that will be sent to MOSS. Since projects often contain files other than source code, this expression is often used to select out the appropriate files based on the file extension.

$moss->exclude

The exclude property is set to a regular expression that specified files that will be excluded from sending to MOSS. This is a useful tool for excluding provided code files or automatically generated files. Exclusion is done after inclusion.

$moss->limit

The limit property limits the number of submissions that will be sent to MOSS. Setting this limit to a small number is extremely useful when first getting the settings correct, since it allows a smaller number of files to be parsed and sent until the include and exclude settings are correct.

Additional properties

$moss->atLeast

By default, the MOSS analysis link is only available to Member::INSTRUCTOR or better. This can be changed by using the atLeast property. This is useful if the task of running MOSS is delegated to a teaching assistant:

$moss->experimental

The experimental property, if set to true, will specify the MOSS experimental server, which is indicated as having the latests version of the analysis software, though perhaps with additional bugs.

Suggestions

MOSS can sometimes become unresponsive due to load and may reject large numbers of submissions or just fail on large numbers of submissions. The first request to MOSS will return either 'yes', 'no', or an empty string. Only a response of 'yes' will allow the analysis to proceed. A 'no' response usually indicates that the language specified is not supported. An empty string is an indicator of general unavailability.
